Skins and Pelts

Dreams about coverings and interfaces--like skin, fur, pelts, and leather. What do they mean in dreams--protection, insulation? The power of "No, thanks!"? Or maybe just themselves. How is your skin (or fur)?

And is it time to shed it?

RELATED TOPICS: animal people - other coverings: clothing and fashion - masks and disguises - armor and shells, from turtle to snail - behavioral shells: dreams of self-defense - See also the full INDEX OF SUBJECTS.
