Dreams about Hiding

Hiding from someone, in a game of hide and seek or something more fear-driven and sinister, reveals your reluctance in giving up valuable possessions or sentimental items especially when you are thinking about tidying up your space. This could also represent your unwillingness to let go of grudges and similar emotional baggages. If you were found during a hide and seek game, then you can expect blessings to come pouring your way. However, if enemies find you in the vision or you are driven into hiding because of fear, then this means that you may soon lose someone near and dear to your heart.

Dreaming that you are hiding something, whether it is a secret or an object that you are keeping in a safe and concealed place, points to possible involvement in a complex and challenging situation. This may or may not lead to a negative outcome, although you would have to go through a lot of troubles for this. For women, this dream symbol means being talked about behind your back. Although this would be put to an end or put to rest once the truth comes out. You may even have to put out an official statement just to clear things up.

Hiding your flaws, using makeup and concealer or a wig to hide bald spots or a balding head, signifies deception on your part. You may be intentionally concealing your true nature or motivations from others, perhaps even including close friends and family. Your reason for putting on a mask, so to speak, may not necessarily be bad. For example, you may be putting on a strong front to keep your loved ones from worrying and to keep enemies at bay. However, this constant facade of strength or perfection could be exhausting and emotionally draining.

Seeing an ostrich that is hiding its head in the sand, such as when you go to the beach or at a zoo, speaks of your attempts at avoiding responsibility or a lack of accountability. Even though you know that you are to blame for a mistake or error committed recently or in your past, you still publicly deny your involvement because you are afraid of the negative repercussions to your reputation and your career. Unfortunately, this kind of attitude prevents personal growth and self-improvement.

Hiding in a bunker or a panic room out of fear, such as in an apocalyptic dream scenario or a home invasion context, suggests that a recent action or decision is weighing heavily on you. You could be worried that you did something bad or you made a terrible decision that would have serious consequences to you and to other people involved. This guilt may be giving you a lot of stress that could also be manifesting in your health and well-being. As such, you may have to accept what you have done and prepare yourself for whatever comes next.

Playing hide and seek in a dream, with kids in a playground or with your siblings in your house, means you may be neglected by loved ones which causes a lot of resentment and familial conflict. Perhaps they are too self-involved that they do not take the time to catch up with important things in your life. It is also possible that you may be too busy with your work or other commitments that you forget to prioritize the people who actually matter and care for you. As such, this is likely a wake up call for you to value your loved ones before a serious issue blows up.

If you dream that you are unable to find someone who is hiding, such as in a game or a loved one who has gone off-the-grid, it suggests brewing problems and conflicts that would lead to a falling out with this person you are trying to find within the dream. Fortunately, this dream symbol means that this is still preventable, serving as a warning and a reminder for you to be more sensitive to other people's feelings so you can avoid unnecessary arguments or misunderstandings that could permanently damage relationships.

Dreaming of hiding something before giving it to someone, whether it is a birthday present or cash you hid somewhere in their belongings as a surprise, means there are secrets you refuse to share with this person, perhaps because the information could potentially damage your friendship or relationship. It is also possible that this secret deals with sensitive topics about the other person and to avoid awkwardness between the two of you, you have decided to just keep this knowledge to yourself.

Dreaming of fictional characters often reveals a desire to escape reality, but they can also represent hidden sides or aspects to your personality. In your case, the presence of horror characters means you have a side which you are either repressing or refusing to acknowledge. The fact that the killers in your dream are joined by lighthearted cartoon characters indicate the duality of your nature. Whatever it is you are trying to hide, it may not be all that bad. On the one hand, some of your loved ones may not approve, but it could also be a source of comfort and happiness. Hiding in the closet is an allusion to a secret. As illustrated in your dream, you are unsure whether revealing this secret would hurt your loved ones or be a cause for celebration.
