Dreaming about a mall can symbolize temptation and craving for material possessions, or the purchase of goods from shops you randomly go through. Malls are where many people go for a healthy dose of retail therapy for redemption, rejuvenation and what can be seen as more disposable spending – just with less guilt in a dream.
Shopping malls inside our dreams signify nostalgia for lost time. For some people, it can represent their high school years when they used to go with their friends and family to the mall on weekends or during summer vacations. For others it can symbolize memories of an old mall that had been abandoned for years but is now being remodeled or demolished by new developers.
