the dreamer's condition
Dreaming of naked
Read two ways. Let them disagree, the truth often sits between.
Artemidorus · Oneirocritica
Drawn up, it speaks of Nakedness in a private place is the augury of the soul being seen by one who loves it.
Drawn down, it warns of Nakedness in public foretells shame or the discovery of an unmade matter.
Jungian · the collective unconscious
Drawn up, it speaks of Welcomed nakedness is the ego ready to be authentically seen, a self without the persona armor.
Drawn down, it warns of Exposed nakedness with shame is the discovery that the persona has been carrying weight the deeper self never sanctioned.
When it appears with another
Naked in company
naked + school
Exposure inside the place of formation. A long-running insufficiency the dreamer has been hiding is being made visible, but also healable.
naked + falling
Loss of standing and loss of persona at the same time. Often appears at the start of a major life ending that the dreamer hasn't fully accepted yet, be gentle.
