Hiding – Hiding is a very common dream symbol. We are likely to dream of hiding when forces in our life are causing us to feel out of control of events. Though this is a common symbol, it can also indicate that a certain abuse is happening. You may be emotionally hiding from an abusive parent, boss, significant other, or anyone else you feel you cannot get away from. If you dream of hiding, you need to self-reflect very seriously to determine whether this is a signal of stress, or if one of your relationships has become abusive. Note that you may or may not run and hide from the actual person who is abusing you, and it can be difficult to know if you are being abused, especially if the cycle has been happening for a long time and is emotional rather than physical.
