I had the underwear dream again. Goes like this. I am back on the campus of Grand Valley State and though it has changed and expanded, the core buildings I knew when I was there are still there, just surrounded by new looking structures, etc. Not sure how it happens, but there is an incident and my clothes get a messed up, stolen, torn or something, so that I am in only my underwear and spend the rest of the dream moving down halls in dorms, up and down stairwells, trying to not get spotted, ducking into rooms, being scared and frightened by a sense that people are after me, custodial types. I try finding a phone to use so I can call someone but all the phones are in highly visible places, then I finally give up and just start walking across campus through crowds of students, hoping no one will notice, or at least think wearing underwear in public is some new trend. This time, as I am walking I try and explain to some girl I pass that I lost my clothes. My attempt to downplay it all. I notice a new building, a kind of small one story stone structure and slip inside. It's a daycare place and I go to the closets in front and find small art smocks, too small mostly, but then one I can wrap around me like a bath towel, so then I go back outside again and start my journey somewhere. Never know where it is I am trying to get to.BTW: tighty whities in the dream. Scary.

i just came to your site through a google search. (and no, i wasn't searching for new tighty whiteys) your dream is pretty interesting. i used to have a similiar dream generally involving shoes and schools. it would never be the same dream, but always the same story. i would misplace my shoes, usually in my locker or at the front door. when i wanted to leave, i could never find my shoes. sometimes, i would find one of the pair, but i never found them both. so i would just wander the halls searching and running into familiar people. i would make small talk and sometimes ask them if they can help me find it. i used to have the dream about once or more a week at it's highest frequency about five years ago. according to the dream doctor (on the radio while talking to a caller with a similar dream) he says shoes symbolize something quite important in our everyday lives. it is something we put on before we go out into the world. for someone to be searching for them and not finding them, it could mean that the dreamer feels something very important has not been accomplished and therefore they cannot leave the safety of wherever they are now. in your case, if you are missing your clothes it may mean you feel you don't have something important and you are afraid and/or embarrased about it. this might be something that makes you unique or covers up your flaws. in your dream you try to play off the fact that your clothes are missing and continue on through the dream. sometimes you even cover up with something else, but this very important piece has not been found or is insufficient. now you just gotta figure out what this something is... hope that sheds some light on your dream.
