I had a dream right before I woke up this morning, and it seemed interrupted by the alarm.

There was a man standing facing four 'people' to the right, in front of me. They were lined up, facing left, and he was facing them, to the right. He was in front of the fourth one ahead of me, which was the first one in the line which appeared ahead of me.

It was dark. I could barely see what was happening. The gentleman (my impression) to the left was either placing a mask on or removing a mask from the first man. It seemed almost ceremonial.

The mask was simple, and had cut out eyes and mouth. No decoration. I had the feeling the mask was being removed, but there is no way to know, from what I remember.

I don't have any emotions associated with the dream, but it seemed to me to be an odd event to occur in semi-darkness.

Thanks for the listen.

Hmm... if I'd be your analyst and would know everything about you I maybe could make some remarks...

Taking off or taking on a mask is a big difference of course.

It's an odd dream. Not of the normal kind.

Spooky

Maybe this was more like an OBE. I had some experiences where everything seemed dark, as if watched through black stained glass. This could have to do with developing out-of-body vision.

Masks have to do with identity, projected image, roles we play. Like old plays where actors wore masks. Pulling off a mask is like "revealing the true self" or "looking behind someone's projected image".
