It’s time to get creative!
Art is a very common dream metaphor. If painting occurs in your dream world in some sense, expect creativity to play a role in your waking life. The message may even simply be that you may need to be more creative.
Sometimes a painting on a wall is shown to us in a dream, and if this happens try and recall as much detail about the painting as you can, as important information will be found there. Sometimes, dreams are not as mysterious or abstract as they like us to think they are! The message is often clearly conveyed in a dream about art.

Dreaming About Painting a Picture
If you are doing the actual painting, either in an artistic message or even in your home, the message often is that some creativity will get you out of your current situation.
This message would be to follow your heart and feel and create your way towards a solution, rather than trying to think your way out of it.
The type of painting you do will also have special significance.
If you dreamt about…
- Painting a nature scene, it may be a sign you need to spend more time outdoors.
- Painting a miniature, it may be a sign you need to focus on the smaller details in life.
- Painting a very large picture, it may be a sign you need to look at the bigger picture in waking life.
- Painting a portrait of someone, it could indicate how you feel about yourself and highlight changes you may wish to make in your lifestyle or appearance.
