Dreaming of
Hair Falling Out

Miller considered hair loss in a dream a sign of losses and misfortune. Hair falling out in clumps — serious trouble or illness. Going bald in a dream — a loss of authority or position. Hair falls out but grows back — temporary difficulties that end in recovery. Pulling out one's own hair — you yourself are creating your difficulties.

Vanga saw in hair loss a symbol of the waning of vital forces and protection. A lot of hair on the comb or in one's hands — energy is flowing in the wrong direction. A head going completely bald — serious changes in one's fate. A child's hair falling out in a dream — worry for children or for whoever you are caring for.

Freud linked hair with sexual strength and vitality. Hair loss in a dream — fear of impotence, loss of attractiveness, or sexual inadequacy. For women — anxiety about femininity and appeal. For men — fear of castration in a symbolic sense. The more hair lost in the dream, the more acute the anxiety about one's own strength.

Nostradamus saw in the loss of hair a portent of the loss of power or influence — an image of a ruler deprived of his crown in a metaphorical sense. Sudden baldness — an abrupt loss of positions or authority. If hair falls out gradually — a slow but inexorable change in one's place in the hierarchy.

Hasse interpreted hair loss as a sign of anxiety and nervous exhaustion. Hair is the threads of life, and losing it speaks of vital forces running low. Gathering fallen hair — an attempt to recover what has been lost. Seeing someone else's hair on the floor — the anxiety concerns a loved one.

According to Tsvetkov, hair loss in a dream brings worry and unpleasant changes. Losing some hair — partial losses: money, status, or health. Complete baldness — radical changes in life. If hair falls out painlessly — the changes will be softer than expected.
