DREAM DICTIONARY : This dream dictionary is based upon hundreds of real dreams and has been meticulously researched. However, the only person who can truly identify the cause of a dream is the dreamer. Use the questions and quotes on this page to help you find out what has triggered your dream.

NUDITY : Nakedness in dreams may suggest that we are worried that we were blatant and obvious about something. It may show that something happened the day before and we are worried that we showed how we felt. In another sense it may suggest that we were embarrassed about something. You may gain clues from the dream. Of course nakedness may suggest that you are sexually attracted to someone. If the dream felt sexual then that may well be the case. But the nakedness may suggest that we are trying to be open and honest with someone we know and want to reveal our true feelings.

QUESTIONS to help you make associations(pick the one that makes most sense to you)
- Did you worry that you acted in a very blatant and obvious manner the day before the dream?
- Do you feel as if you want to be open and honest with your feelings in some way?
- Has someone been trying to reveal the naked truth about something?

ESSAY : What is the symbolic meaning of nudity in dreams?
If someone is naked we see them in entirely a different way. Clothes in dreams link to the way we build up our image and they show how we would like others to see us. But once naked we reveal the our bodies as they are. In some senses nudity is all about the emotions associated with it. If we feel liberated and free then it may link to a moment when we open up our hearts and tell the world how we feel. Yet nakedness linked to embarrassment may link to some truth which we would rather was kept secret.

Nakedness is often when we realise that something has become obvious or that we wish to be less obvious. E.g.

"I think I was a little BLATANT yesterday. I don't like to make it too obvious how much I liked to exclude Jon from my team. I just cannot work with him. Yet I don't want to appear vindictive"[Dream symbol - sexily dressed women dream][the dream on which this quote is based is featured in full at the end of this article]

"I know I like to dominate things but I do not like to be OBVIOUS about it"[Dream symbol - naked dream]

"People tend to ask me to help a lot and they take it for granted. Sometimes I don't want to but I do not like being too OBVIOUS about turning people down"[Dream symbol - naked dream]

In some cases the nakedness maybe associated with some embarrassing questions and issues from real life. E.g.

"She kept asking questions about him. I felt embarrassed answering all her questions. She wanted to know EVERY LAST DETAIL"[Dream symbol - naked man dream]

"I just get embarrassed in front of him and clam up"[Dream symbol - crushes nakedness dream]

"My mum keeps saying that I need to lighten up"[Dream symbol - pants fall down in front of mum dream]

In some cases if the clothes are been stripped off in a teasing lap dance it may suggest that someone is slowly and tantalizingly revealing the truth. E.g.

"My boyfriends sister really hates me and I just hate to think that she is with him right now REVEALING exactly what she knows"[Dream symbol - lap dancer dream]

But undressing maybe simply suggests that you are trying to be honest and open. E.g.

"Sometimes I feel as if I want to REVEAL TO HER how I feel. Then I realise its best to keep things as they are as it would just complicate things"[Dream symbol - get undressed then get get dressed dream]

"Its maybe time that I told my girlfriend that I do not think its working out. Its best to be OPEN AND HONEST"[Dream symbol - undressed dream]

"I have been openly showing my support and trust for my boss"[Dream symbol - taken shirt off dream]

Of course nakedness may simply link to sexual attraction. E.g.

"I am attracted to my coworker but I try not to show it"[Dream symbol - naked in bed dream]

 THE DREAM - I am looking at three sexily dressed ladies legs. Then I think of a Coworker whom I did not choose to take part in a major project

THE REALITY At work the previous day the dreamer had perhaps too readily excluded a coworker from a project. He felt that his emotions had maybe given away a prejudice that the dreamer had for his coworker He had perhaps revealed himself too readily.

THE INTERPRETATION The dream was a work dream so the dreamer focused on work issues and also things that he had been working through his mind. There was one major little incident from the day before at work.

Legs are a symbol of direction. In this case they are very sexy legs - and the feeling in the dream was that "these legs were really very very good". That emotional feeling perfectly mimicked the feeling he had when excluding a coworker from a project. It was something that he could very easily agree to was a good thing.

This dream maybe ponders on how he had been perhaps too obvious in agreeing the exclusion of a coworker It may reveal exactly how he felt. He did not want to appear to be targeting this person. Above all it was the vigor with which he excluded the coworker He felt this may allow people to see him in a whole new way.

Symbolic Meanings
DRESSED : "unconscious signals you send to people"
SEXILY DRESSED : "something is really very appealing - the dreamer found it VERY APPEALING not to work with this coworker"
THREE : "a choice - the dreamer could have acted in a different way perhaps"

DREAM MEANING The dream captures the following feeling within the dreamer - "I think I was a bit too obvious in showing my feelings at work yesterday. I know I dislike him intensely but I do not want to seem too prejudiced against him"
