Personal symbolism
Buttons fasten clothing and can draw attention to presentation, belonging, or keeping things together. Bright, shining buttons on a uniform carry different meanings by dreamer: warm affection from a wealthy marriage partner for a young woman, and military honors with a promising career for a youth. Dull or cloth buttons shift toward disappointment, ongoing losses, and ill health. A lost button, especially with worry about losing the garment, points to prospective trade losses. Consider the buttons’ appearance and what you were doing with them.
