Psychology
Eyes are called windows of the soul, and sunglasses cover them. Wearing them may mean you do not want your feelings or weaknesses read, or need distance from a reality too bright to face. If someone else wore them, you may fear not knowing their true mind.
Folklore and history
Sunglasses protect eyes from glare, but in films they often mark someone hiding their identity or keeping others at bay. The Japanese phrase "seeing through coloured glasses" means judging with prejudice. Dream readers often link them to self-defence or secrets.
Getting to a haunted spot over mountain roads or unpaved surfaces makes a gravel- or nail-caused flat more likely. A compact compressor that runs off the cigarette lighter socket lets you top up air on the spot, and doubles for a spare tire, a bicycle, or a ball.

This site's view
In this site's view, what did you see after removing them? A brighter, vivid scene means you are ready to drop biases and accept things as they are. A frightening change suggests a reality you avoided is asking to be faced.
Going deeper: our reading
Facing someone in sunglasses, you cannot see their eyes, yet your own face appears small in the lenses. You cannot read them, but you are shown yourself. In this site's reading, sunglass dreams often carry that lopsided relationship of being seen without seeing. Wearing them yourself suggests caution: watching others' reactions while keeping your own feelings hidden. If someone else wore them and you fixated on your reflection, worry about their judgement may be making you lose sight of yourself. The setting matters too. A summer beach hints at freedom with a touch of showing off; wearing them on a dark night road suggests you are choosing not to see something. This is our speculation, but wearing the grown-up sunglasses you admired as a child may reflect a present self straining to look strong.
