Disguise
Being in disguise, Disguised, Incognito
A disguise is meant to fool people: a fake mustache, a hat pulled low or a new way of walking. In a dream it's often about wanting to move through the world without your usual reputation, free from expectations for a while. Putting one on may come from a wish to try something new where no one will judge you. A disguise that fools no one suggests that people know and accept you more than you think. Recognizing someone through their disguise hints that you see past appearances. Slipping past someone in disguise means you're dodging a conversation you'd rather not have.
