Personal symbolism
Crape is closely associated with mourning, and the dream distinguishes between seeing it displayed and seeing someone wear it. Hanging from a door points to news of a relative's or friend's sudden death. A person dressed in crape brings sorrow apart from death, business or trade difficulty, and lovers' disputes and separations for the young.

The dream may feel especially tied to one of these settings or relationships.
