Dream of a Young Face Beneath a Mask - dream meaning with inherited lore
It may be a scene where you become aware of the difference between your outward age and your inner feelings.
In front of a mirror, you wear a mask over an aged face, then take it off. Beneath it may be a younger face than expected, or an unfamiliar face may appear and leave you flustered.
Korean lore: Traditionally, covering and uncovering the face has sometimes been interpreted as a process in which one's dignity or hidden feelings are revealed. If a younger face appeared, it may be seen as a wish to regain fresh energy. (In folk-dream traditions, faces and masks have been treated as symbols of dignity, identity, and hidden intentions.)
Through the mind: At work or in a relationship, you may have been acting more mature and fine than you really feel. You may also be caught between what you still want to do and the thought that you should now act your age.
