In a dream, an upholsterer represents someone who is proud of himself or his work, or he could represent a singer, a helper, a teacher, resting after a long-working day, or someone who curbs the intentions of hypocrites, obliges them, and defrauds them of their assets.
[1]To dream that you are acting the part of an upholsterer, or have engaged one, to decorate and furnish your house, denotes that sickness and affliction will shortly visit either yourself or some of the family.
