Wrinkle

According to an African legend, death entered the world in this way: “A long time ago, people could shed their skin like snakes. Everyone did this and lived forever, regaining their youth. Once a woman forgot that she had to do this and put on her old skin again, and death came into the world.

Dreams about wrinkles can be disturbing because they conjure up images of old age and death. You may feel like you're wasting time in real life, and your subconscious is reminding you that life is short.

Another variant of dreaming about wrinkles is accelerated aging, in which your skin seems to dry out or become wrinkled within minutes. This dream reminds you that you are not getting any younger as you move toward your life goals. These dreams can be disturbing, but it doesn't have to be. Dreams of this kind often serve as a way for your mind to say, "Hey, it's time for something new," and prompt you to take steps in that direction: change your old hat for a new one. Are you resisting the aging process on some level? Do you feel as if others are preventing you from displaying the qualities or wisdom that would normally be your age? Are you experiencing a revival or elimination of "old" restrictions?
