Dreamers Dictionary

Vision: Putting on a pair of pants: you would like to be in charge of your family and your surroundings (this is the case for men’s and women’s dreams). It may also indicate that you resent the power others have over you. Taking off a pair of pants: you seem to be leading a very superficial life.

Losing your pants: other people are mocking you.

See Clothes.

Depth Psychology: Pants in a dream are a sign of your need for protection; or are you afraid that others will expose you? See Shirt. Are you paying too much attention to your appearance? Have you been “caught with your pants down”? Are you afraid of getting caught without your pants on? and if so, why?

Complete Dictionary of Dreams

by Dr. Mıchael Lennox
As an article of clothing, pants relate to both protection for the physical body and personal self-expression. Though this is less so in our modern world, pants are still archetypally a masculine symbol, so wearing pants in a dream connects to where the ability to be decisive, take action, and make things happen is focused. Who is “wearing the pants” has long been an expression to connote the person with the power, and this may be reflected in your dream.

The state, style, color, and other elements of the pants must be added to your interpretation.
