What does it mean to dream about crowd?

A multitude of faceless people in a dream, often embodying collective pressure, societal expectations, or a loss of individuality.

A crowd symbolizes the collective psyche in its impersonal form—the pressure of norms, expectations, and public opinion dissolving individual identity. Feeling like a part of the crowd or separate from it often reflects the balance between belonging and autonomy.
