Acne

These dreams bring your attention to self image and how you are perceived in your daily life. This might be unconscious feelings of feeling ugly or not confident in yourself. A metaphoric dream for something that has broken out and it shows on your face. Acne on your back reflects something ugly behind you, something that you might be ashamed of since you cover it up. Dream of popping acne or pus coming out is a positive symbol of removing negative associations about your appearance.

Whenever a dream focuses on the face - it can be a message about 'keeping face' or credibility. Generally your appearance in a dream is a way of exploring self esteem or your self image. If something on your face (like a pimple or acne) diminishes your attractiveness, you may be exploring the idea that you are not expressing your true self or acknowledging your own beauty. If you are picking a pimple or trying to remove a blemish - the message can be about releasing ideas or feelings that are undermining your self image.
