Dreaming of taking off a face mask - dream meaning with inherited lore

You take off the mask covering your face, or someone else removes it. Once the face beneath is revealed, you may feel at ease, or anxious that you will be found out.

Korean lore: Traditionally, taking off something that covers the face has sometimes been interpreted as a hidden matter coming to light or an attitude in a relationship changing. It may also be seen as an opportunity to reveal feelings you have kept hidden. (In folk dream interpretation, covering and revealing the face are sometimes read in connection with appearances, secrets, and changes in relationships.)

Through the mind: You may have this kind of dream when you’ve been suppressing your true feelings while acting according to your role at work or in a close relationship. Considering who you want to be honest with and what you’re afraid of may make the emotions in the scene a little clearer.
