Size dream meaning is explained below using
12 different sources.
Each interpretation is shown with its source.
Interpretation 1 — Pamela Ball
1- To be conscious of size in a dream highlights how we feel in relation to a person, project or object. Big might suggest important or threatening, whereas small might indicate vulnerability or something ‘less than’ ourselves. Thus a big house would be an awareness of the expansion of oneself, whereas a small house would indicate an intensity of feeling.
2- A child learns very early on to make comparisons, and this is one of the things that we never lose. Something is bigger or smaller rather than simply big or small. In dreams size is relative. We might recognise somewhere we know, but find it is larger or smaller than we thought it to be.
It is the size within the dream that is relevant.
3- Spiritually size is irrelevant.
It is more the appreciation of feeling that becomes important.
A ‘big’ feeling is something that consumes us, whereas a ‘little’ perception may be only part of what really exists.

Interpretation 3 — Patrica Telesco
(see Magnification)How large or how small things look in a dream is a very revealing factor.
For example, seeing yourself as minute might indicate that your self-esteem needs work. Conversely, seeing someone in giant form reveals idolization, sometimes to a dangerous point that a person cannot possiblv live up to in reality. Over- or underem-phasized objects can be interpreted similarly, like a large heart equating to an immense capacity to give and receive love, or a tiny wall indicating something you see as only a very small obstacle to your goals.
Narrow or wide: Narrow might reveal narrow-mindedness, while wide angles show more openness and receptivity.

Interpretation 4 — Nancy Wagaman
The relative size of something (for example, if something seems larger or smaller than you’d expect) can have significant meaning.
Size can represent: perceived power, strength, importance, or prominence in your mind (the larger the object, the more you may feel it has these qualities), a particular point in a process (such as a tiny sapling representing an early point in a process, or a huge, dead tree representing the end of a process).

Interpretation 6 — Theresa Cheung
Large handwriting can mean a friendly and sociable personality, or that the writer puts on an act of confidence—this behavior might not be exhibited to strangers. Small handwriting is generally an indicator of a detailed, academic and technical personality.

Interpretation 7 — Martha Clarke
The increase or decrease in the size of things or people that appear in your dreams signals the importance that they have to you. Seeing a person reduced to invisibility indicates the fear that you have of losing them. Seeing that such person’s size increases in an exaggerated manner is a sign of the excessive influence that she exercises on you.
