Psychology
Becoming transparent may reflect loneliness at being unseen, or a wish to stay unnoticed. Fear at seeing through your own hand, or relief at going unnoticed, shows which feeling is stronger.
Folklore and history
Japanese folk tales feature the tengu's kakuremino, a straw cloak of invisibility that tempts its owner into mischief. The power to vanish was told as both a dream of freedom and a path to ruin if misused.

This site's view
In this site's view, ask whether anyone could still see you. That person is the thread tying you to this world. If no one could, you may be erasing your own presence without realising it.
Going deeper: our reading
Many Japanese ghost paintings show figures without feet, their outlines fading away, and the Edo-period painter Maruyama Okyo is often credited with popularising that image. Becoming see-through has long marked those standing on the border between this world and the next. In this site's reading, people who dream of turning transparent often feel treated like a ghost while still alive. If the dream was set at work or school, you are losing sight of your role there. At home, you feel distance from those closest to you. If your hand passed through objects, you are frustrated at reaching for something and feeling nothing. This is our speculation, but if your transparent body glowed, it may not be vanishing at all, only being released from a heavy role.
