Shaking Out Clothes

To shake out clothes in a dream signifies that bad news will arrive.

To see in a dream that you are shaking out a garment which you believe does not belong to you is interpreted as meaning that you will meddle in another person’s affairs and cause certain people to leave that person’s life on his behalf.

If you see in a dream that you are shaking out a garment which you love very much, it means that you will remove certain people from your life. Perhaps for a short while, perhaps for a long period, but it is highly likely to be either a very close friend or someone whom you once loved.

To see a woman shaking out and hanging up clean laundry and garments in a dream is interpreted as meaning that you will witness a person putting his life in order, and that you will somehow support this as well.

To see someone shaking out and hanging up dirty laundry as though it were clean laundry in a dream is a sign that this person will not act very skillfully in the work he is attempting to undertake, that he will be unaware of this, and that you ought to warn him.

It can be read as a sign of easing, receiving support, gaining morale, or a fruitful development.

Underestimating opportunities, succumbing to comfort, or being late may reduce the positive effect.

In the interpretation, the themes of work and responsibility, success and reputation, the emotional tone in the dream, and how the symbol concludes in the dream should be evaluated together.
