Dreams
I find this to be a very interesting subject. I have a lot of weird dreams, and they only make sense when I read up about what I've experienced in the book I have (or now online as well as I searched for an online dream dictionary so I don't have to type a lot of things up).
I used to dream a lot about being naked or partially naked in front of people whilst I'm out. There are several meanings to that - Naked Dreams. My naked dreams have been in the following context...
Dream Moods
Many times, when you realize that you are naked in your dream, no one else seems to notice. Everyone else in the dream is going about their business without giving a second look at your nakedness. This implies that your fears are unfounded; no one will notice except you. You may be magnifying the situation and making an issue of nothing. On the other hand, such dreams may mean your desire (or failure) to get noticed.
That's VERY true for me.
However, recently, I had a different kind of dream. Dreams have a lot to do with the way we feel about things, and recently a friend of mine betrayed my trust (and a lot of other friends and people I know have done this to me as well in the past). She also made me worry a great deal because she delayed so long in coming to see me. I was afraid of losing the friendship because of what she's like, and it made me so frustrated that it really brought back memories I don't want to remember and because of the past, the fact that I feel I'm a complete failure at so many things, and that friends keep betraying me, I'm embarrassed to say but I was on the brink of a complete breakdown for about three weeks.
Then, a few days before this friend actually came round to clear the matter up I had a strange dream (in truth the incident that started it off was incredibly minor, but this friend is...rather self-opinionated and believes that I and everyone else should live life and deal with problems in the exact same way she does).
I'll give a quick explanation of what happened...
I was diving from a high board into an open-aired pool right next to cliffs that overlooked the ocean. After the second dive, a hurricane started, and I couldn't do my third dive. There were spectators around, including family. Everyone dispersed of course, but me and a few others couldn't get away or shelter like most of the others did. We took shelter in the cliffside, moving along the coast a bit at a time. Then, tsunamis came. In the dream it seemed like roughly every 15-20 minutes a wave would rise up and hit us, so we all sheltered as best we could. Ok, there's a word I need to elaborate on - shelter. During that time, I found myself sheltering someone. I didn't know WHO it was. I thought it was a friend but I didn't know who and it was female. She was unconscious (don't know what happened, I was just carrying her (head on my left arm, legs draped over my right) and I was holding her close. Then, after quite some time I woke up.
Here's the analysis I found (same thing as in my book but worded differently). I'll post the link and then the relevant pieces into this message.

So, that's an indication of what my dream meant. It uncovered a lot of truth for me actually.
