Dreaming of wearing a mask - dream meaning with inherited lore

In the dream, you put a mask directly over your face and face other people. You may feel stifled and reassured at the same time.

Korean lore: Traditionally, covering one’s face has sometimes been interpreted as protecting one’s dignity or hiding one’s private circumstances. Wearing a mask in front of others may also be seen as representing feelings left unspoken or a cautious relationship. (This interpretation is based on the folk tradition of reading masks and covering the face as defenses involving secrets, dignity, and relationships with others.)

Through the mind: This may appear when it’s hard to show your true feelings at work or with your family, or when you’re tense because you don’t want to make a mistake. At the same time, if the mask felt comfortable, it may reflect a need for boundaries that protect you for a while.
