Undress
Undressing — shedding your covering — often touches scandalous gossip overshadowing you, with stolen pleasures rebounding to grief if you see others undressed. The dream may ask where something private about you is being uncovered, and whether an exposure, real or whispered, is about to strip away the protection your reputation gave you.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for undress, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream that you are undressing, foretells, scandalous gossip will overshadow you.
For a woman to dream that she sees the ruler of her country undressed, signifies sadness will overtake anticipated pleasures. She will suffer pain through the apprehension of evil to those dear to her.
To see others undressed, is an omen of stolen pleasures, which will rebound with grief.
Fontaine, 1862
To see your wife undress, signifies wantonness; to undress in the presence of others, slander; to undress in your room alone, the discovery of secrets.
