A middle-aged person dreamed of playing with many faceless people in the dream. They were having a great time, but he couldn't see their faces, only their outlines.
Dream Analysis: Psychologically, having fun generally indicates that the dreamer is a person with infinite creative ability, not bound by any rules, and loves freedom. Faceless people usually indicate that in the dreamer's real life, there is someone who doesn't want the dreamer to discover their true self. Additionally, faceless people also represent "anonymity" and might suggest that the dreamer doesn't know others well enough, leading to an inability to understand their emotions. Therefore, the dreamer should be cautious in recognizing people and beware of betrayal.
