Dreaming of Being Naked
naked, bare, nude, undressed · mostly negative
Nakedness in dreams mostly warns of scandal, temptation and rash commitments.
What happens in the dream
- You suddenly notice you're naked and try to cover up: you want to give up pleasures that go against your better self
- You see others naked: people will try to lure you from your duties, and illness will hold back your success
- You admire your naked body: you will charm people but not keep the respect of honest ones
- You think your body is ill-formed: your reputation will be tarnished
- You swim naked in clear water: forbidden love, paid for later with illness
- You are naked: scandal and unwise commitments
- You see others swimming naked: many admirers; if the water is muddy, a jealous one will spread gossip
How you felt
- Vulnerability: the dream often reflects a fear of being exposed or judged
- A wish for authenticity: it may show a desire to be seen as you are
Ask yourself
- Where do I feel exposed right now?
- What am I hiding from others, or from myself?
