Clothing
Identity, persona, social role
Death (Own)
Transformation, ending of a phase, rebirth
Clothing
Clothing represents the social persona — the face you present to the world. The type of clothing reflects your self-image and social role: formal wear suggests professionalism, casual clothes represent authenticity, costumes indicate playing a role. Changing clothes suggests changing identity or social role. Wearing inappropriate clothing reflects feeling out of place. In Jungian terms, clothing is the persona — the mask between self and society.
Death (Own)
Dreaming of your own death is rarely a premonition — it almost always symbolizes the end of something in your waking life: a relationship, career phase, belief system, or identity. These dreams are actually among the most positive symbols in dream analysis, representing major transformation and the possibility of rebirth into a new phase of life.
