Painting is how you prepare a new surface for your life. This dream shows how you are working to change how things appear or to hide the cracks that have formed in your daily life. When we cover a surface, we are deciding what the world sees of us.
The way you handle this change can shift the feeling of the dream entirely. I once spent a whole afternoon covering a worn wooden table to make it look whole again. You carry this same ability to decide which parts of your life deserve a fresh look and which parts you are not yet ready to show.
The weight of this process lies in the fact that a new layer can sometimes mask what is truly broken underneath. If the change is only on the surface, the old trouble remains. You possess the strength to look at what is hidden and decide if it needs a real fix or just a brighter shade.
When someone else is the one painting in your dream, the direction of the change is not entirely in your hands. You find yourself watching how another person decides to reshape your world.
A dream of paint shows that the renewal you feel is a genuine and good thing. The brightness of the color means this new start is a joy that reaches you clearly.
A women saw me and coworkers at a store. Shetold me to chose a number of different attributes revolving around Easter. (pink, eggs, baby bird) and then painted my arm. (She called it a tattoo). She told me that these are $1500 but for me it was $200. I started to worry and apologized b/c I couldn’t afford it. With sadness she said “why does this always happen” I told her I can’t pay, but will work for what she painted. I wrote my number and ask her to read it. She couldn’t. So I wrote clearer
