Dreaming of Hiding
Avoidance with a physical location.
The traditional read
Hiding meant guilt and the wish to escape judgment.
What it usually means now
Hiding is avoidance made spatial. Being found is usually relief in disguise; hiding successfully is the more worrying outcome, because the dream is confirming the strategy works and that's why you keep using it.
But symbols don't dream alone
A dictionary entry can't see the room, the person standing in it, or how it ended. Describe the whole dream and get a reading that uses hiding as context, not as the answer.
