Perhaps you are getting married and have recently found your dress, maybe you are graduating this year and have already picked out an outfit or you might have another significant event on the horizon that you want to look your best for.
Pay attention to what you were dressing yourself in as this may give you some clue as to what you were dressing up for.
Perhaps you haven’t dressed up to go anywhere in a while and you miss the process of putting on your finest things to celebrate special events on your calendar- whatever they may be. The dream might simply reflect your excitement at being able to go out and meet people again in a formal setting.
If you were dressing up in the clothes of a character, consider what attributes he or she has. It’s possible they represent something that you want to see in yourself.
For example, to dress up as a cartoon character might imply that you want to be more jolly and carefree in your waking hours.
This is even more appropriate if life has been very serious of late.
If you dressed up as a key person from history, it’s possible you want to make waves in your chosen field of work as they once did.
A more sinister character suggests you have a darker side that you might need to control better.
