The face is identity and the mask you show the world. A familiar face brings a message about that person; an unknown one, about a side of you not yet known.
When the dream feels light
A smiling face promises acceptance, friendship and recognition.
When the dream feels dark
A faceless figure, a mask or a disfigured face point to confusion about who you are, or fear of being seen.
Ask yourself
Which face do I show, and which do I hide?
