Skin

To dream of your skin, represents protection or shield of your inner self. It serves as a physical boundary and how close you let others get to you.

Alternatively, it may indicate that you are being too superficial or shallow.

To dream that your skin is covered with rashes or other skin deformity, signifies your fear in facing a harsh reality. This may also be a pun to indicate that you are making a rash decision.
