Wrapped / Wrapping Dream Meaning

(1) A wrapped parcel may mean you are hiding - suppressing or repressing - some part of your personality (for suppression / repression).

(2) If it is yourself you are wrapping up in a dream, this may symbolize either a desire to conceal your feelings from yourself or from others; or a sense of shame or guilt or inadequacy; or a longing for the warmth of love. In all cases the first thing to do is to remove the wrappings - that is, to uncover that part of yourself that needs attention. [1]
