The Big Dictionary of Dreams

by Martha Clarke
Your skin is an essential part of the image of your body that you project to others.

If you dream that it does not look very good, it might suggest a fear of giving a bad impression or even that you are ashamed of something and harbor the illusion of being able to hide it. Also, it is associated with the idea of time. Therefore to dream of wrinkled skin is expresses your fear of aging and loss of physical attractiveness. But if the skin is soft and smooth, this suggests sensuality, delicacy, caresses, etc. In short: the need for affection.

Some Omani women believe that a dream about pale skin portends the arrival of a lot of jewels. To dream that you change your skin is omen of troubles.
