Drawing Dream Meaning

Drawing in my view is a lot like life. We draw to accomplish something. When the pen or pencil curves the picture we are building on a dream. It is my belief this dream is about what you are trying to “draw” into your life --- reaching your dreams. 

We can hypothesize why you have had this dream, but, I bet that in your current situation you desire more. My question to you: do you believe that you can have a greater experience of life? Is destiny is to be greatly experienced in what you do? My interpretation of drawing in your dream is that you are creating something for the future. Drawing in dreams also represents creativity and self-expression, according to most dream books that I have read. Drawing dreams may also indicate a desire to express yourself creatively. You may also interpret this dream symbol of focus that you need to map out what you really want in life. Dreaming of drawing could indicate that you are making good progress on a creative project. How do you express yourself? Do you express yourself correctly?

Carl Jung the famous dream psychologist defined drawing as letting go of all conscious criticism and allowing inner emotions to fly. Drawing symbols feature in many ways during a dream, it could include drawing on paper, cardboard, walls, or even canvas, a blackboard or a whiteboard. In my view, it is all about expression in life. The best way to communicate ideas in life is through drawing. You may have sketched yourself, noticed drawings on walls, or encountered freelance drawings or technical drawings.

What is the biblical meaning of drawing in a dream?

I always feel it is important to consider the biblical meaning of dreams this provides us more clues as to the meaning. The scripture can provide more meaning. When looking into the bible it rarely mentions "drawing" per say as a dream symbol. I personally feel it could represent self-declaration, as well as wanting to be more focused. Let me explain. If we look at the book of Genesis, Joseph interprets a dream in which Pharaoh sees himself standing by a river and seven fat cows appear out of the river to represent seven years of plenty, however the cows also represent seven years of famine. The reason why I mention this is that for every good we normally see or have a negative. We have to take the good with the bad, and drawing in dreams is drawing out the good aspects in life.

It may be trying to tell you something important in your life if you keep having the same dream of drawing.  The type of dawing you see in the dream could vary along with different symbols in the dream such as pencils, pens, paper and pencil cases. I do also feel the drawing is a representation of your own desires in life, especially if the drawing was abstract. If the drawing is realistic then this represents that you wish to “sketch” out your life. If you are drawing bigger paintings or even a famous painting then this could indicate that you need to be patient in life and wait for the right time. When we draw on our dreams, we can create a finished work of art, sketch ideas for new projects, or simply this could be a sign that one needs to engage in a therapeutic process.

What does it mean to dream of drawing your father?

If you had a dream of drawing a picture, painting, or pencil drawing of your father this is rather interesting. The father drawing may represent authority, protection, or even love. I also feel that the dreamer's sense of self-worth or inner strength may also be connected to your dream.

The figure of the father in drawings spiritually is often associated with authority or protection in the dream world. This is because fathers are typically seen as the head of the household and the primary breadwinner. As such, I feel the symbol is often seen as the protector of their families. If the drawing in your dream was black and white this can mean that you need to be more responsible for providing guidance and wisdom to others. In this way, a father in a dream may represent the need for someone to provide you with direction or support.

Fathers in dreams can also symbolize the dreamer's own sense of self-worth or inner strength, this is especially true if you are the father in the dream. To dream of a hanging painting/picture/drawing of your father on the wall of a house (for example above the fireplace) can suggest that you may need to go to your Father for guidance (in this world or crossed over) I feel could maybe the connection that you hold between yourself and your father.

What does it mean to dream of drawing your mother?

Drawing of a Mother in a dream is quite wide-ranging but similar to what I have outlined above in the father's interpretation, I feel the dream depends on the context in which the picture appears. Sometimes, a Mother can represent the caretaker aspect of your own personality. Mothers in dreams could also represent actual motherhood - either your own mother or the role of motherhood in general. The dream may reflect your current feelings and relationship with your mother if you are dreaming about her drawing. You may also dream about her in a drawing in an attempt to resolve any unresolved issues you have with her subconscious.

If you are not dreaming about your own mother (maybe a grandmother or mother-in-law) the Mother in your dream could represent the nurturing, caring side of your own personality. If you are a mother yourself, and someone (for example your child) draws a picture of you in the dream then the true meaning may simply be reflecting your current feelings and experiences in relation to motherhood. I also feel this dream could also be highlighting any issues or worries that you have about being a mother. If you are not a mother, then the Mother drawing in your dream could still represent the nurturing, caring side of your own personality.

Dreams of drawing for fun are a sign of great times to come. The pleasure of drawing can indicate positive times ahead.

Considering that the drawing represents the inevitable happiness processes in old age, it may be viewed as a positive symbol. The drawing for fun represents human instincts that have been socialized and harnessed and great times ahead according to older dream books.

Summary of the dream of drawing

Realizing that each aspect of the drawing, every emotion, every landscape, and environment are, in my view, manifestations of your thoughts and insights, allows you to see how your world is made up of thoughts, feelings, and values. What you believe or feel in your dreams becomes a tangible fact.

The earliest known drawings are cave paintings, which date back around 40,000 years. These early drawings were most likely used for ceremonial or religious purposes, and depict a variety of subject matter including animals, humans, and abstract patterns. As humans began to develop language and writing, drawing became increasingly important as a way to record and communicate ideas. Throughout the centuries, drawing has been used by everyone from scientists and architects to poets and painters. Drawings and art have seen a resurgence in recent years, this is thanks in part to the popularity of digital art and the rise of sketching apps like Procreate. The reason I briefly mention this history is that this can provide you with a clue as to the real meaning of drawing. If you see yourself drawing in a certain period then it can indicate that you need to express yourself more.

The fact drawing has featured throughout history and now in the dream can suggest we often see the physical world as a manifestation of what we fear or desire, and even what we admire. The great work of human existence is finding some level of direction, mastery, or harmony in the world you create, just like the drawing you are creating what you need and want from your life.
