Hiding

A part of you, just out of view

What it often means

Hiding in dreams suggests a part of you wanting protection from being seen. The question is whether the hiding is wise self-care or a smaller version of yourself you are not yet ready to outgrow.

When it tends to appear

  • When visibility feels unsafe
  • During shy or self-protective seasons
  • When you are deciding which parts of yourself to bring forward

Sit with these questions

  1. 1

    Who or what were you hiding from?

  2. 2

    What part of yourself wants to be safer before being seen?

  3. 3

    Where, with the right people, might you start to show up?
