Interpretation 2 — Martha Clarke

If you use it to dry your tears, the handkerchief plays a role of comfort; maybe your unconscious is claiming the need for someone to comfort you and be a “shoulder to cry on.”

Seeing a handkerchief indicates, in general, the desire to live in a relationship, although this interpretation may be qualified.

If the handkerchief is red, the love affair will be shocking and cause all kinds of gossip; but if it is white, it will be honest and will end in marriage. To lose it announces the couple will break up; and to tear it, a serious argument.

If the handkerchief is silk, you will enjoy the company of friends at any time; and if it is cotton, family bliss will be certain. When it is a young woman who dreams of a handkerchief, she runs the risk of being deceived by a man who tries to conquer her.

Interpretation 3 — Stearn Robinson - Tom Corbett

A soiled or blood-stained handkerchief indicates a quarrel; a cotton one is a suggestion that you could benefit from asserting yourself more; a linen one is a warning of hidden hostility; a silk one is a good omen in regard to your general interests; a torn handkerchief signifies a business embarrassment; a lost one indicates a broken relationship; buying one is a caution against new ventures or gambling; and receiving one predicts a happy surprise.

Blowing your nose in a handkerchief portends an improvement in social status; wiping your face or forehead with it augurs a lightening of responsibilities; waving it prophesies an interesting new friendship; and washing it is a warning against extravagance.
