Wounded Hooded figure in dreams

A hooded figure in a dream is the dream's image of an approaching presence whose identity is deliberately withheld. The hood is not accident; someone is choosing not to be recognised. The dream brings the figure when something is moving toward you in your life — a decision, a person, an event — whose identity you have not yet been allowed, or have not yet allowed yourself, to see clearly. A hooded figure faced with steadiness is the dream telling you the meeting can be survived, even without the name. A hooded figure that you flee from is the dream noting that the approach is happening regardless of whether you turn around, and the unknown identity is part of what is making it frightening.
