Dreaming of Throwing Away a Mask - dream meaning with inherited lore
This may be a dream about wanting to let go of an attitude or defense you’ve relied on for a long time.
You remove the mask you were wearing and put it in a trash can, or throw away several at once. Afterward, your face may feel lighter, or an uneasy feeling may remain.
Korean lore: Traditionally, throwing away something old is sometimes seen as clearing out lingering worries or an uncomfortable situation. Dreaming of throwing away a mask has sometimes been interpreted as wanting to move away from hiding your true attitude. (This interpretation comes from reading the folk symbols of discarding and tidying up as a process of easing current burdens.)
Through the mind: The expression or tone of voice you have kept up while adjusting to someone else may have worn you out. It may reflect a wish to meet people in a more comfortable way now.
