Common Dreams: Being naked or underdressed
This dream
links quite simply to how you feel about yourself in comparison to how others see
you; it is about your vulnerabilities and your insecurities. In dream
language, our clothes are symbolic for the front that we show to the people
around us, or how we present ourselves to them, we can change
this representation daily to fit with what other people expect
from us, we also change our persona to fit with the different roles that we
play e.g. parent, boss, employee etc.
To be aware
of the clothes you are wearing in a dream will bring your attention to the life-role that you are playing and help you to accept yourself for who you are. If the clothes are inappropriate for the task
you are carrying out in your dream it could suggest that you are not currently equipped
with the right attributes needed for a certain task or role, but it can also
explain how you are continually having to be somebody who isn’t the real you.
Being semi-naked in a dream helps to describe when you
feel ‘under-protected’ or ‘lacking in confidence’ it might be other people
that make you feel this way. You don’t feel equipped for the situation you are
trying to deal with.
Putting on extra clothing in a dream means that you are
trying to cover up and protect yourself from the attitudes of other people.
This can also be used as a symbol for protection from loneliness, the act of
trying to keep warm is appropriate to show you how you fear to be lonely or
left out in the cold.
Nakedness in dreams usually occurs because of the
insecurities you have about being seen for what you really are, you wear
clothes to hide your true self and so have protection from what people think of
you, therefore nakedness brings the real you to the fore it helps you to
understand how you feel about yourself in contrast to how other people see you.
These types of dreams require you to face your fears and accept that changing
your personality for other people is not going to bring long term success to a
relationship and that changing your own thought process could more useful. You
need to stop worrying about what other people think of you and be confident
with who you are.
