Seeing old or even unfamiliar pictures in your dream may be a reflection of how you remember certain parts of your life. These pictures may represent longing for a time that has passed.
However, other interpretations can be made. Although this dream may be difficult to interpret, the dreamer may need to put significant amount of effort into its understanding.
Some believe that since a photograph represents something real, it could represent a deception or distortion of some kind.
Someone may be trying to sell something to you and is covering up the truth, or you may be doing the covering yourself.
New Age thinking points out that dreaming of pictures means you have not learned a particular lesson in life. The dream may be calling attention to past events and reminding you that you are making the same errors all over again.
