Clothes represent your attitude towards the subject matter of the dream, as we dress to suit our mood or to suit the role we feel obliged to play (e.g. career). In the dream context, we are free to wear anything we want or to even wear nothing. How we dress, particularly the colors worn, can be very revealing. Old fashioned clothing indicates you have adopted an old fashioned attitude towards the subject matter of the dream. This is most likely handed down to you by one or both parents. Being given hand me downs belonging to your father would be clearly showing you have adopted your fathers attitude.
Being naked in a dream is a very good symbol and shows that you are being asked to be yourself when it comes to the subject matter of the dream. The disturbing feeling usually associated with this type of dream, indicates the level of discomfort you would have in being yourself. If you are currently undergoing therapy this type of dream shows it is working well and restoring your sense of identity.
Washing clothes can represent anxieties with regard to the subject matter of the dream.
