Dreaming of hemming a garment may be an unconscious manifestation of your desire to refine or perfect certain aspects of your life.

Likewise — It could symbolize your efforts to 'trim' unnecessary elements, akin to Freud's concept of secondary revision. Conversely, observing a hemmed garment in a dream might represent your recognition of a well-defined boundary or limit. It could be a metaphorical representation of the Freudian concept of the 'reality principle', where you acknowledge the constraints of reality. Both of these dreams, in essence, reflect an underlying yearning for control and precision, suggesting a subconscious attempt to impose order amidst the chaos of the psyche.0
