Wide-brim hat
A hat that shields the whole face — chosen privacy and shade in public space.
A wide-brim hat in a dream is the dream's image of self-contained privacy carried out into public. The hat creates shade and obscures the face; it lets you be seen without being read. The dream brings the hat when you are moving through a public phase — a job, an event, a city — and need a way to keep part of yourself unobserved. A wide-brim hat sitting comfortably on the head is the dream telling you the chosen privacy is working. A wide-brim hat blown off by wind is the dream noting that the cover you depended on has been taken from you and the face is now in full view.
