A Dream of Being Too Thin - dream meaning with inherited lore
Seeing yourself excessively thin may reflect how you currently feel as though your energy or confidence has faded.
Your bones stand out in the mirror or beneath your clothes, and your body looks gaunt enough to feel unfamiliar. You may worry about why you have become so thin or try to hide it from someone.
Korean lore: Traditionally, becoming thinner or wasting away has sometimes been interpreted as a sign of dwindling energy or less ease in daily life. But it is difficult to see thinness in a dream as a judgment of your actual condition or future. (In folk dream interpretation, scenes of losing weight are sometimes read as reflecting changes in physical energy or daily circumstances.)
Through the mind: The image of your body may be expressing a recent sense of exhaustion or having too little time to care for yourself. Such exaggerated images can also appear after long periods of pressure about dieting or appearance.
