To dream of seeing naked shoulders, foretells that happy changes will make you look upon the world in a different light than formerly.
To see your own shoulders appearing thin, denotes that you will depend upon the caprices of others for entertainment and pleasure.

Original source (English)
SHoulders thicke and fleshly are good to all men▪ excepting them onely that are imprisoned: to the first, it signifies much strength and prosperity: to the other, that they shall be long in captivity: if the shoulders be diseased, lean, or broken, it signifies the contrary to all before said, and oft times foretels the death, or sicknesse of brethren.
