An interpretation of being naked dreams

An interpretation of being naked dreams

This interpretation is from ""The Dream Interpretation Dictionary: Symbols, Signs, and Meanings" and is provided by J.M. DeBord aka "RadOwl". He is the author of several acclaimed books about dreaming, the host of The Dreams That Shape Us podcast, and is a moderator of r/Dreams, one of the largest dream sharing communities on the internet. Nakedness is a common dream theme. It tends to get your attention, and thus it stands out from everything else you dream about. Nakedness has a variety of symbolism. The most common is “exposure.” Nudity reveals the person beneath the clothes. It can mean you are seeing a person for who and what the person really is, or seeing beneath the surface of something such as a situation or idea. If you are naked it can mean you are showing your true self. You have nothing to hide. Or maybe you do have something to hide, but it is exposed anyway. See: Hiding When naked you are exposed to the elements, and this use of the symbolism implies some sort of risk or personal exposure. It’s a physical representation of a personal situation. For example, feeling exposed because something personal about you has been revealed. Feeling exposed to risk, such as in a financial dealing, or because of risky behavior. A similar idea is expressed when nakedness symbolizes vulnerability. Naked exposure can symbolize fear of being personally exposed, such as when a flaw or weakness is exposed. For an example, see: Job. The word “exposure” has another sense meaning learning something new or having new experiences, and this sense can be expressed by nakedness. Nakedness in a dream can mean you feel unprepared. See: Tests Nakedness in a dream can mean “stripped of pretense” or “naked truth.” Everything is out in the open. This use of the symbolism suggests openness and honesty. The symbolism can combine with exposure or vulnerability in situations such as when you have opened up to reveal your true thoughts and feelings and feel vulnerable because of it. Nakedness can mean “obvious,” as in the truth should be obvious, or a person’s intentions, motives, or feelings are obvious. Getting undressed then dressing again can symbolize wanting to reveal your thoughts and feelings, then thinking it’s not a good idea. Being without a shirt can symbolize being financially broke, or giving the shirt off your back to someone who needs it. See: Dressing, Undressing Clothing is closely associated with a person’s outer identity and social image. Conspicuous nakedness can mean something important to your identity is missing. For example, you quit your job to be a stay-at-home parent and dream about being naked at the place where you used to work, symbolizing that you gave up part of your identity by leaving the job. Of course, nakedness can be associated with sexuality and sexual fantasy. This use of the symbolism will be accompanied by sexual situations and feelings. Just be careful to avoid jumping to conclusions. In a pretty common dream scenario, the object of your affection or infatuation strips naked in front of you, or is seen naked; sometimes such a dream is interpreted as a sign that the person wants you. However, it’s more likely to be an expression of what you want, or even what the naked person wants. For example, a man dreams that he sees his girlfriend naked in the bathroom. He reacts by thinking it’s “sexy time” and approaches her seductively. She says, simply, “I want more,” and he understands her statement to mean “I want more than just sex.” Context and feelings are the most important clues to determining the meaning of nakedness in a dream. For example, in many situations a person would feel embarrassed or ashamed to be seen naked in public. But if you feel proud or liberated being naked in public, the dream obviously has nothing to do with embarrassment or shame. Feeling ashamed while naked can be a sign that something has been revealed about yourself that you’d rather keep hidden, or some part of your identity has been taken away. You have nothing to hide behind. It’s a theme known to arise after a romantic relationship ends. Nakedness in public can symbolize doing something embarrassing. On the other hand, it can connect with a situation where you were seen naked and it embarrassed you. For example, a college student who is self-conscious about his body uses the group shower in his dorm while no one else is around. Then suddenly a group of schoolmates comes in. They don’t say anything to him, but he feels like his naked body is scrutinized. That night he dreams he is taking an exam and finds himself naked. Someone makes a derogatory comment about his body. He runs out of the classroom and back to his dorm, feeling humiliated. It would be easy to conclude that the dream is about anxiety related to an upcoming exam, but instead it’s about the situation in the shower. The clue that gives away the meaning is the fact that the dreamer runs back to his dorm—that’s where the incident took place. A young woman dreams that she is trapped in a bathroom stall by a group of men and they rip her clothes off. She feels violated and ashamed. The dream reflects her feelings about men judging her body. See: Clothing See also: Body parts, Clothing, Dressing, Hiding, Jobs, Sex, Showers, Tests, Undressing
