Why do people have dreams about being nude?

Question

This clearly can have nothing to do with the genetics (as we aren't born with clothes). If this is social, then do Chimps have dreams about walking outside and having clothes on?

Answer 1

I been in plenty of dreams but never noticed if I had clothes on or not? Nah monkeys enjoy walking around nude they don't have hang ups about it like we do.  

Answer 2

lol.

Answer 3

Dreaming is simply thinking while you're thinking. Whatever you dream about is simply due to whatever is in your mind. It can be affected by social norms, just as your mind can be, but dreaming of nudity doesn't necessarily imply something general. Just as any other dream, no matter how similar to others, has no general meaning or definition since every dream is unique to each person. If you dream of being nude, think back, something must have made you dream about that.

Answer 4

Nudity in dreams is usually symbolic of a vulnerability. (Unless the dream is a sensual one.)  

Answer 5

It's very natural to be nude....like that's how we are born.Society tells us we must wear clothes....so the dream is like some primeval way of reminding us how normal it is to be nude.So nude up, and try how liberating, it can be to be nude....have a "nude day" at home some day,or visit a nude beach.....once you see how regular nudity is,you'll enjoy it!!!
