Retail Therapy Dream Interpretation

sleeping boy

Dreams of retail therapy denote insatiability and that you are buying into the idea that there is an external fix to an internal problem. Your dream is revealing that you have fallen prey to the belief that there is something “out there” that will make you sexier, wealthier, prettier, skinnier, and smarter. Alternatively, this dream could be showing you the abundance of resources to improve your life that are at your disposal. Consider the feeling tone.
