Going back to your old school or a place of work. |

I notice a pattern of certain dream categories that are common to a lot of people. |

Funny you should mention. |

I think that it says somewhere here that dreams of being naked in public, having our teeth fall out/crumble, being chased, device failure, excessive conflict, and a number of other things are actually a sign of stress and/or anxiety (I forget which). |
|
My dreams always involve comradery and guns. |

We often look at dreams from the predictability of our own waking life. That is why having your teeth fall out seems odd for us, because in waking life that would be a major event that would impact us in all kinds of socialized ways. Yet in dreams, it can happen a lot. |
|
I've had so many dreams of screaming but not having much of a voice or no voice (including last night), as well as dreams where I was too weak or gravity felt too heavy to walk/run/climb onto anything (also including last night). |

I have had CHANGING dreams before, where I'm changing in public, with both guys and girls, but never being naked. |

If you see a strange typo in my post, blame my iPad for that.

What about the one where you find out you actually need to take one last test to graduate? Turns out, you never turned in that last project for that class you forgot about. I get that one a lot. |

Clothes are not necessary in a purely temporary plane. Neither are life and death circumstances. In the purely temporary, there is only aware and unaware. If you are aware of your nakedness, and you reflect that against your own standards of being clothed, you'll be shocked and look for clothes to put back on. If you are naked but unaware, then it will mean nothing. |
|
Flying is a common dream of mine (thankfully when Lucid).I have read that it means feeling care-free.I doubt that is the case for me somehow. |
|
The Phosphorus of the imagination, abandoned to all the caprices of over-excited and diseased nerves, fills itself with Monsters and absurd visions.
I've always assumed the "oops i forgot to dress" dream has something to do with our morning routine. When you first wake up, one of the first things you do is get dressed for the day. It makes sense that it is on your mind when you sleep. I think it is even worse for people who sleep naked, or nearly naked. A part of you knows you are not in your normal state of dress. |

It makes us feel vulnerable, and it is often a sign that we have some insecurity, be it of our bodies, or something else. In many cultures, there are few things more degrading than being without clothes. Clothing is a form of protection, both literally and symbolically. Even in the most "primitive" (I hate that term) societies, clothing is used to cover up and protect what are, arguably, the most important parts of the body, being the genital areas. This may be a cultural development (as in reproduction, etc became taboo) or it is simply a practical evolutionary instinct (as in, to reproduce, you need these things, and need to protect them from damage). It may be a combination of both factors. |
|
I frequently find myself out in public with no pants. These dreams have never become lucid even though I should do a reality check if I find my pants missing! I have read that this is due to insecurities. But I don't think of myself as an insecure person in my waking life. So I don't know for sure why this keeps repeating. |

To help understand this, I think we can further divide these types of dreams into subcategories. |
|
While sleeping, watch.
I've been out of school for 2 and a half years, but I still get things like this. I'll go to a class and have a test I didn't know about; I'll go to class and realize there's something due that I didn't know about (or have a false memory of putting it off and then forgetting about it); I'll have this overwhelming fear that there is a class that I'm supposed to be going to but I haven't for many weeks or months. |

Well luckily your clothing standards are lax enough that you are not as easily distracted by being naked. I'm fairly certain that nakedness is a distraction to the mind to keep it less aware of our surroundings. When we are naked, usually we focus on being naked and will not try to see through the illusion. A reality check on nakedness would be a good way to go lucid. |
|
I actually used to have those naked dreams when I was more insecure about my body. (Think 5'6", 105 pounds) when I was a teenager. I would never get lucid. I would just think, "Hmm, no one seems to care that I'm naked, I guess I shouldn't." |
