Category: Objects (how to read this category)
Psychology
A mask can be read as the gap between the face you show and the feelings you hide. Jung's term persona originally meant a theatrical mask and refers to the face we wear to fit society. A mask is not bad; what matters is whether you can take it off.
Folklore and history
In Noh, masked actors play gods, ghosts and women maddened by jealousy; the hannya mask is said to hold anger and sorrow in one face. In festivals and rites, masks let people borrow the forms of gods and demons. Dream lore reads a mask falling away as showing your true self.
Haunted-spot exploration often means long hours driving and waiting in the car from late night into early morning, often in mountain or rural areas with no convenience store nearby — a car fridge keeps drinks and snacks fresh for hours. Adjustable from -20°C to 20°C, for either refrigeration or freezing.

This site's view
In this site's view, did the mask come off? If easily, you are finding people and places safe for your real face. If it stuck, the role may have lasted so long you can no longer tell it from yourself. If no face lay beneath, first get to know your own.
Going deeper: our reading
Today the word mask may bring to mind festival masks, Halloween costumes or party masks. Many remember wearing a festival mask pushed to the side of their head, a fun way to become someone else. In this site's reading, people who dream of masks are often asked to show different faces at work, at home and online, and are losing track of which is real. Everyone around you masked suggests unease in relationships where you cannot see true feelings; being the only bare face, the vulnerability of being the only one exposed; removing someone else's mask, a wish to know their real feelings or ease their burden; a strange mask on your reflection, meeting a new side of yourself. This is our speculation, but enjoying wearing a mask may show you are accepting your roles in a positive way.
