A dream about a lapel signifies your desire to present a polished image to the world. But the meaning of a lapel can be nuanced depending on the dreamer.

It suggests you're focusing on your external persona and how others perceive you. This could be related to your career or social status. A dream about pinning something on a lapel, by contrast, indicates you're trying to communicate a specific message or show allegiance to a cause. The object being pinned can provide further insight. For instance, a flower might symbolize a personal relationship, while a badge could represent a professional achievement or affiliation.

A lapel is a somewhat rich and colorful dream symbol to offer a definitive opinion on. To really say without any doubts, it's really necessary to get a deeper understanding of the dreamer's life story and current life scenario.

2. The psychoanalyst's interpretation

Dreaming of a lapel, in Freudian terms, may symbolize the ego's attempt to maintain a certain facade or identity, reflecting the dreamer's conscious efforts to uphold societal norms and expectations.

With that being said, a lapel can be more complicated than that. It's an embodiment of the 'persona' - the mask one wears in public. Conversely, dreaming of pinning something on a lapel could be a manifestation of the 'shadow' - the unconscious aspect of the personality which the conscious ego does not identify with. The act of pinning may be a representation of an attempt to integrate this shadow aspect, the nature of which can be inferred from the object being pinned. For example, a medal might suggest a suppressed desire for recognition, while a brooch could symbolize hidden emotional attachments.

Dreaming of a lapel represents your spiritual identity and how you present your inner self to the world. It's a reflection of your soul's journey and your spiritual aspirations. It suggests a focus on your spiritual persona and how you wish to be perceived in the spiritual realm. Dreaming of pinning something on a lapel, however, signifies your soul's attempt to express its spiritual truths or commitments. The object being pinned is a symbol of your spiritual goals or values. For instance, a flower might represent a spiritual awakening or growth, while a badge could symbolize a spiritual achievement or commitment to a spiritual path.
