The interpretation of dreams by dream experts may be almost as

animals, dream every night, and humans have always been

teeth, flying, and falling.

Being Naked
Dreams of being naked are possibly amongst the most common
dreams people have. In dreams, clothes can represent
concealment and hiding, so being stripped of clothes can mean
being left defenseless and exposed. Often the dreamer has fears

but the dreamer notices the nakedness are often indications
that the fears bothering the dreamer are unfounded, and that no
one else is concerned about them. Being naked in a dream can
also indicate fear of being caught off guard. For instance,

school. Being naked in front of a crowd can symbolize a fear of
being exposed, a fear of being unprepared, or a fear that those
around you know things about you they are not telling you
