Disguises Dream Meaning

Dreams of yourself or other people in disguise can often suggest change. The wearing of a mask relates to the appearance you present to others (as well as to yourself), and sometimes it is hard to remove the mask, perhaps because you are being forced to wear the mask by others. This may be a warning that you risk losing all sense of self. Notice who was disguised in the dream and what they were disguised as.

If they were disguised as something sinister, perhaps this suggests fears in your everyday life.

If they were disguised as something light- hearted, perhaps this is an element of wish-fulfillment, reflecting a desire to drop pretences and replace them with more fun and spontaneity in your life.

According to Jungian symbolism, wearing a veil over your head indicates a desire to be invisible and to withdraw from the outside world. [1]
