The meaning of a dream about paint.
To dream of a house being painted indicates that information which has been kept from you will soon be forthcoming; if you dreamed of painting anything (like furniture, woodwork, etc.), it suggests that you are contemplating some activity which you would prefer to keep secret – think it over well before you commit yourself.
A dream of artist’s paint signifies important changes if it was oil but minor changes if it was watercolours.
To dream of lacquer, gilt, or shellac predicts a passionate new love affair.
