Goosebumps – Goosebumps are either a symbol of fear or coldness. If you dream about having goosebumps because you are cold, it means only that something cold is about to happen. See Cold. If you dream about having goosebumps because of being afraid it could mean two things. The first and most common is that there is a fear of something happening, especially regarding another person. Perhaps you fear that you will be attacked in some way by another person. These are many times true in character, but not in reality. In other words, while a person might be creepy, they probably will never hurt you in reality. The other thing that this dream could be is that you could be in real danger.
