Dream meaning » wallpaper
To dream that you or someone is hanging up wallpaper signifies that you are putting up a barrier or some sort of shield between yourself and others. It also suggest that you are covering something up or that you are hiding a secret.
Alternatively, the dream may mean something that needs beautifying. Consider the color and pattern of the wallpaper, as it will offer clues as to the kind of barrier, secret or feeling that you are putting up.
To dream that you are peeling or stripping off wallpaper denotes that you are beginning to let your guard down. You are breaking down your barrier one layer at a time. It also indicates that you are revealing aspects of yourself that have been kept well hidden.

A dream that focuses on wallpaper could be calling attention to the surface appearance of something, or our attempts to cover something up.
Whether you hung it yourself or observed it being done, the dream pertains to an alteration in your social status, but its meaning must be determined by reference to the colors (if any) and the outcome of the exercise.
Wallpaper is a covering that makes a room more pleasing in an aesthetic way, but as a symbol it is more connected to that which it is covering up. If there is wallpaper featured in your dream, take a look at what you are hiding or wanting to be kept out of view in your life.
