What are possible meanings for dreams of being naked?
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

Headless Christian People that blew their own heads off
NSFW
I had a dream that I was standing in my mom’s living room and staring out the front window. I saw multiple people walking around aimlessly, and all of their heads were missing. I turn around and noticed there was a headless girl in the room with me. We started to communicate through like an ESP situation. I asked her why she didn’t have a head? She told me she blew it off with a shotgun. I asked her why and she responded “Jesus Christ told me to do it, so I did.” And I said “That’s ridiculous, you shouldn’t have done that.” She responded “We don’t ask questions, we just follow his orders.”
They were all naked, but no prominent sexual features or anything, just very androgynous and muted. They all looked the same. They weren’t bloody or mutilated, just a flat scar where their neck should’ve been.

Mother introducing her naked daughter to me!
I had a dream where i was just fighting zombies in call of duty black ops 3 (iam inside the game) after a while everything turns into a blue glowing cube inside a back bag, my friend gave me the back bag with the glow coming out of it asking me to take it to his home.
I take and go up the stairs and everything is bright, clean smooth and beatiful but as i go up the stairs everything turns to shit! Place gets darker and stairs gets broken down!
I kept going up until i met the friend's father, he tells me that everything thing wrong going on is only in my head, it seemed true because he was going up some staircase that from my view was completely broken down! He was like going up Air from my prespective! SO i decided to just go up like nothing happened even if the staircase isn't there (due to being broken down) but i just ended up falling through the Air two floors down!
IT hurt so much i just sat there for a few mins and then got up and started going up the broken down stairs, it went so BAD that i had to do critical jumps in order to be able to go up!
Then i finally reach the floor where my friend's home is, the floor looked clean and beatiful just like the whole Place when i first entered it!
The friend's mother opens the door, takes the bag my friend gave me, thanks me then says "Say hello to my daughter *name of daughter*" then the daughter comes out fully naked! I just look at the ground out of embrassement and then they look at me and the mother says "Is this boy dumb or what?" in a mocking way! I just leave!

My ex was fused with the girl I'm currently interested in.
By that I mean she looked like the girl I'm into but felt and sounded like my ex that I had the longest relationship I've ever had with.
In the dream I was going to the movies with my mom and I had invited this girl to come along. She sat in the backseat and passed me a note, asking me questions about random stuff like various games and other stuff. For example one thing she asked me was "what is a terrorbird". I went to write answers to her questions but ran out of room so I set the note down in the car.
Eventually we get to the movies and my mom sits between us for some reason.
The movie never actually comes on because the theatre having technical issues.
So we go back out to the car and the girl is suddenly mad at me for not answering the questions on the note. So I grabbed the paper and explained to her how I ran out of room, and that I was going to answer them when I could get some more paper. She was then happy again and hugged me and gave me a kiss on the cheek.
Then we were in a hotel. The girl was in the shower and I was going to take one after her so I was looking for my clothes. I also found something on the table that I felt I needed to hide from my mom/the girl. So I grabbed it and ran to my room, sticking it in a drawer or something.
Then my mom walked in on me naked and it freaked me out but she didn't even notice.
That's about all I can remember.

Gay dream
Well I had a dream last night. Really short but felt so real.
I was laying on a bed naked and there was another guy standing on the other side of the room and he was pulling his cock, it looked huge. I asked him, actually told him to ‘Come here’. He did and climbed on the bed and kneeled straddling my right thigh. Our cocks were close. He was smooth all over and his cock was so hard, as was mine. I reached out and cupped his balls and gently squeezed them and then felt his cock and stroked it.
Then I woke up. I laid there, my cock hard, my wife asleep beside me. I could literally remember how it felt in my hand and I loved it.
Now that is on replay in my head.

Trouble having sex with dream characters
So lately Ive [M19] been getting a little better at lucid dreaming, I found that the Wake Back to Bed method works for me best. And of course I want to use this ability to have dream sex.
I think the trouble started a few weeks ago when I had a dream where I woke up next to this cute redhead I knew, we were both naked so it was heavily implied that we had sex. Anyway, I climb on top of her to do the dirty and she starts freaking out. Naturally, I stopped and got off her. Tbh I can't really remember what happened after that. But anyway, I was pretty shocked after the experience because Ive never had a dream character act like that before.
Last night I had another dream where I was in a room with 2 other guys and 3 women. All of us were naked again and we'd been paired up. The woman I was with was the only person I knew from real life, Im pretty sure the others were randomly generated. So the woman that I was with decided she didn't want me and went over to one of the other guys. I wasn't having this so I used my lucidity to control the woman and we started having sex. After a few seconds however, she starts freaking out like the redhead in the previous dream.
This time I was able to maintain lucidity and got rid of all the dream characters so I could gather my thoughts and calm down, so I could change the dream to a different setting.
So now I feel like if I was to have sex with a dream character I'm essentially going to have to rape them. Which I'm obviously not going to do. I'm having this moral dilemma about what consent is in the dream world if I'm in control of everything that happens.
Has this happened to any of you? I would love to hear your thoughts and opinions.
