General meaning
Fog is a special state of the world when familiar guideposts disappear and only the immediate sensation remains. In dreams fog almost always means one thing: right now you do not see the full picture.
This is not necessarily bad. Fog is a transitional state. It never lasts for ever. In nature morning fog disperses with the rising of the sun, and the world appears fresh and clear. In the same way a life situation concealed by the fog of uncertainty will in time clear.
Foggy dreams often come in periods of waiting: waiting for a decision, an answer, an outcome. The psyche says honestly: while there is no answer, one must learn to exist in uncertainty.

What to keep in mind
What colour and density was the fog? Was anything visible through it or nothing at all? Were you alone or was someone nearby? Were you moving or standing still? The sensation — anxiety, mystery, or calm — substantially affects the meaning of the dream.
