What does an apron mean in dreams?
1. The traditional interpretation

Mary Leyen

Contributor: "3 of Dreams Book of Dreams"
A dream about wearing an apron signifies a sense of responsibility and service. It's often not quite so simple though.
It may indicate that you are in a situation where you need to take care of others or take on additional duties. Seeing someone else wearing an apron can symbolize a person in your life who is nurturing or protective. It may also suggest that you are relying on someone else to handle certain responsibilities. These interpretations are rooted in the apron's historical use as a protective garment for those performing domestic or manual labor tasks.
An apron is a somewhat very deep dream concept to really clarify with certainty. To know without any doubts, I'd have to take a deeper dive into the dreamer's past and current circumstances.
2. The psychoanalyst's interpretation

Ernesto Andrahi
Psychoanalyst,
Contributor: "3 of Dreams Book of Dreams"
Dreaming of donning an apron may be a manifestation of your subconscious grappling with the Freudian concept of the Ego, the rational part of the psyche that mediates between the instinctual desires of the Id and the moralistic Superego.
Also: It suggests a need for self-protection and control, a barrier between your inner world and external realities. Observing another in an apron, however, may reflect your projection of the Jungian 'caregiver' archetype onto this individual, indicating a desire for support or guidance. Yet, it could also denote a transference of your own responsibilities, a subconscious evasion of your Ego's duties. These interpretations, of course, are contingent on the dreamer's personal associations with aprons.
3. The spiritualist's interpretation

Dreaming about wearing an apron can symbolize a spiritual calling to serve others, reflecting a divine mandate to nurture and protect. It may also indicate a spiritual shield, guarding your inner sanctity from worldly distractions. Seeing someone else in an apron can signify a spiritual guide in your life, someone who embodies the virtues of service and protection. Alternatively, it could suggest a spiritual lesson about reliance and trust, urging you to surrender your burdens to a higher power. These interpretations are deeply rooted in the spiritual symbolism of the apron as a garment of service, protection, and humility.
