Vest dream meaning is explained below using 9 different sources. Each interpretation is shown with its source.

Interpretation 1 — Dr. Mıchael Lennox

A vest is an article of clothing that completely covers the most vulnerable part of the body, underneath which all of the vital organs are located. In this way, anything that relates to a vest in a dream connects to this center of your life force and the risks therein. How may you need to protect yourself right now? Also, playing things “close to the vest” implies some measure of restraint around revealing your desires and plans.

A dream that features a vest may be asking you to hesitate before sharing your goals.
