Dream Interpretation - Dreams of Being Naked
One of the most common dreams around the world is the one in
which the dreamer is naked. Dreams of being naked can have
several interpretations, and the nakedness in the dream can
manifest itself in a number of different ways. In some naked
dreams, the dreamer is simply going about his or her own
business, commuting to work driving in the car, walking around
the neighborhood, etc. In many cases, the dreamer is completely
unaware of his or her nakedness and not at all bothered by it.
In other cases, the dreamer is aware of his or her nakedness but
no one else seems to notice at all. While the dreamer may be
conscious of the nakedness, everyone else just goes on about
their business and make no comments. These types of dreams are
often manifestations of the dreamer's fears. Often the dreamer
has fears that he or she worries may be uncovered. Dreams in
which no one but the dreamer notices the nakedness are often
indications that the fears bothering the dreamer are unfounded,
and that no one else is concerned about them. On the other hand,
dreams in which the dreamer suddenly becomes mortified at
realizing he or she is naked often indicate vulnerability, fear
or shame. In many cases, the dreamer is hiding a secret or
hiding something that he or she is afraid will be found out. The
nakedness in the dream indicates a fear that other people see
through you and will discover your secrets. In dreams, clothes
can represent concealment and hiding, so being stripped of
clothes can mean being left defenseless and exposed. The dream
may be trying to tell you that you think you are hiding
something, but that everyone else already knows about it. This
is one of the most common forms of the naked dream. Being naked
in a dream can also indicate fear of being caught off guard. For
instance, many people dream that they are suddenly naked at work
or at school. As a matter of fact, the dream of being suddenly
naked in a classroom before taking a test is one of the most
frequently studied dreams. This kind of nakedness usually
symbolizes fear of being unprepared for a situation at school or
work, such as an important project at work or an exam at school.
Often times these dreams of nakedness at work or school coincide
with events in real life. For instance, you may dream of being
naked at the office right before that big project is due, or
before you are due to make that big presentation. These types of
dreams can be especially common among those who feel they are
unprepared for the challenge. Likewise, students who feel they
have not studied sufficiently for any exam often dream of being
in the exam room naked and exposed. Sometimes these types of
dreams to not coincide with real events. Rather they may simply
be manifestations of a more generalized fear of being caught
unaware, or of being unprepared for the challenges of life.
Other naked dreams with similar meanings involve being naked and
standing in front of a crowd. Since nakedness and public
speaking are two of the most common fears in the world, this
combination can be mortifying, even in a dream. Being naked in
front of a crowd can symbolize a fear of being exposed, a fear
of being unprepared, or a fear that those around you know things
about you they are not telling you about. One of the rarer types
of dream nakedness is where the dreamer realizes he or she is
naked but shows no fear, shame or embarrassment. This type of
naked dream can be a symbol of freedom and unrestrained
exuberance. This kind of dream can indicate that the dreamer has
nothing to hide and is proud of his or her life. In this case,
the nakedness in the dream can be a positive thing - symbolizing
openness, honesty and a trusting and carefree sense of life.
