General meaning

Hair is one of the most personal symbols of the human body, carrying cultural and psychological meaning in every civilization. In the Bible Samson lost his strength when his hair was cut. In India hair is a gift to the gods. In European tradition cutting hair symbolized mourning or punishment.

In a dream, hair reflects your vital force, sexuality, and inner state. Its appearance speaks of how you feel about yourself: lush and beautiful — you are in full bloom; dull, falling out, or tangled — something is draining your energy.

A special place is held by dreams of a haircut. Who is cutting and for what reason is crucially important. A voluntary change of style speaks of a shift in self-perception. A forced haircut — the loss of something precious without your consent.

What to keep in mind
