Skin is the boundary between your inner self and the world, representing vulnerability, protection and how open you are to others. Healthy skin reflects emotional well-being and a sense of safety in your own body. Rashes, wounds or peeling skin signal irritation, exposure or feelings that are not being soothed. Thick, scarred skin suggests you have armored yourself against hurt. This dream asks you to check whether your protective layer is still appropriate, or whether it has become so thick that nothing can reach you anymore.
