Wallpaper dream meaning is explained below using 10 different sources. Each interpretation is shown with its source.

Interpretation 1 — myjellybean

To dream that you or someone else is hanging up wallpaper, suggests that you are putting up a barrier between yourself and others. It also suggest that you are covering something up - a secret of sorts. Alternatively, it may mean something that needs beautifying.

To dream that you are peeling or stripping off wallpaper, symbolizes that you are beginning to let your guard down or allow yourself to connect more readily with others. It also indicates that you are revealing aspects of yourself that have been kept well hidden.

The color and pattern of the wallpaper in your dream will offer clues as what kind of barrier, secret, or feeling is being represented by the wallpaper.

Interpretation 2 — Pamela Ball

1- To be stripping wallpaper in dreams suggests stripping away the old facade in order to create a new image.

To be putting up wallpaper signifies covering up the old self (possibly superficially), particularly if the old wallpaper is not removed.

2- Wallpaper in a dream can have the same significance as clothes on a character. We may be wanting to make changes in our lives but need to experiment and get a proper lit - first.

3- The dreamer should metaphorically take a look at himself and be sure that he is being true to himself, as wallpaper often symbolises an outer facade of some kind.
