Non-Dream

Copied from my blog Crazy Days of Me

One thing that you probably don't know about me, is that I have a lot of naked dreams.
Almost everyone has dreams where they are naked in public - they're often in the "top-10" of dreams (along with flying, falling, chasing, being chased, and creepy teeth dreams). However, as par for course, I have my own slant to the typical naked dream. In my dreams, I'm not standing there naked and horrified as people point and stare. No, in my dreams, I just made a poor fashion decision.

In my naked dreams, going to work nude isn't the exact same as, well, going to work nude, it's more like showing up in a halter-top & micro-mini-skirt. People won't scream and throw a blanket over you, but they might make "tsk" sounds as you walk past, whisper about you, then eventually HR would stop by to talk to you about the new workplace clothing policy.
Often in my dreams, I sit there debating my clothing (or non-clothing) choice. "Maybe I should be dressing a little more conservative - this is a workplace, not a bar. Should I sneak out at lunch and at least buy a shirt? I'll just skip the 10 am meeting, then I should be ok."
My last naked dream, I went over to my friend Bryan's place naked and we played computer games. While playing, I was regretting my fashion (or non-fashion) decision, the equivalent to wearing a really tight dress & fuck-me boots over to a single male friend's house. The next day at work, we were talking about dreams, I brought up that dream. All the guys raised their eyebrows and made "ooooh!" noises at Bryan, but I don't think they realized that it wasn't a sex dream at all (though I do remember wondering why Bryan hadn't even looked at my non-outfit). The trouble is, I know it wasn't a sex dream, but I have no idea what it was...

Common naked-dream interpretation often has to do with shame and secrecy.

But in all of those cases, the dreamer is horrified and ashamed at their nudity. What does it mean to just be mildly disturbed by it? I am open to your interpretations...
