What does painting mean in a dream?
In scientific dream interpretation, the painting is a functional symbol whose meaning is determined by what the person does with it. A painting is a fixed image — a static rendering of reality. Painting a picture is an attempt to formalize one's own experience; looking at a painting means taking in someone else's vision; a broken or damaged painting marks the collapse of an established view of reality.
