What does dreaming about nakedness mean in the Bible?

Exposure and shame — met with covering grace

In Scripture

Dreams of being exposed in public tap the oldest fear in the Bible — "I was afraid, because I was naked, so I hid." Shame entered the story early, but so did God's response: He Himself clothed them. Those who look to Him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame.
