Costume
Costumes, Costume party, Fancy dress
Pulling on a costume gives you permission to play. For a few hours you can be a pirate, a queen or a superhero, and nobody asks why. In a dream the costume you picked says a lot about a quality you'd love to show more often, such as courage, glamour, humor or a little mischief. A homemade costume speaks of creativity and care. One that's falling apart can come from worry that people will see through an act. Being the only person dressed up may mean you've misread a situation, or simply that you're more playful than the people around you.
