  And in my nightmares I end up at school, and I graduated 30 years ago.

    As someone diagnosed with PTSD that also has nightmares related to it, I think it’s way underplayed how much public schools give people long term emotional trauma. Not even just bullying, a lot of the expectations schools put on kids are just developmentally unreasonable. It’s not random that so many people have school related nightmares decades after they’ve graduated.

    I think nakedness in dreams is just a common theme for vulnerability, but there’s a reason it’s so tied to school for many people, and it’s not because they’re healthy environments that produce well adjusted young adults.

    I had the wildest dream where my entire class had to repeat senior year because Covid somehow invalidated our credits. Even though I graduated in 2019…

  I think it’s because of the steps removed you are from becoming non-naked. With no shoes, you’re simply an underwear away from being non-naked. But with shoes on, you must bend over, remove your shoes, remove your socks, and only then are you free to install underwear on your naked dingaling. Now imagine if your landlord unexpectedly knocks at the door, and you were naked with no shoes versus with shoes. In the first case, you’d be non-naked in a matter of seconds. Whereas, in the second case, you’d be non-naked in about 15 seconds. Not to mention, you’d be in a very compromising position during those 15 seconds, as you’d be bent over in a strange position fiddling with your shoes over your own naked body. Never discount your brain’s ability to plan ahead. And don’t think this all isn’t taken into account when considering how naked you feel with or without shoes. This, I believe, is one of the primary reasons. Okay, thank you for coming to my TED talk, have a blessed day, and fare thee well!

    Just toss on a dress and go commando. No need to remove the shoes.

  So if you’re completely naked in public does putting on shoes make you feel less naked? We need a science.
