Case Study of Dreaming of the Head
[Dream Example 1]
In my dream, I seemed to have just woken up. I pulled back the blanket, and sunlight shone through the window onto my face. There was a mirror on the wall, and I suddenly noticed that my head had grown much larger, as big as a washbasin, and I woke up with a start. (Female, 26 years old)
Dream Interpretation: If your head has grown significantly in a dream, it means you have confidence in your own faith and perseverance. Given this, everything you do will be particularly smooth these days, especially when it comes to numbers, as this involves using your head for calculations.
If you dream of someone wielding a sword and attempting to chop off your head, this is a reminder for you and your family to be careful when crossing the street. Dreaming of eating the meat of an animal whose head has been chopped off indicates wealth. Dreaming of looking at your head in a mirror is a good omen, suggesting you may become an official.
[Dream Example 2]
I’ve rarely dreamed lately, and even when I do, it’s the kind I look at right after waking. However, I’ve had two consecutive dreams in the past two weeks. These two dreams occurred about two weeks apart. I hadn’t thought anything of the first one after the first one. But last night, I had the same dream again. It was terrifying. I was having fun with my friend, and my head suddenly fell off. I picked it up and put it back together. The cut was very clean. The dream was incredibly real. I still remember my neck feeling numb. This morning, the first thing I did when I woke up was touch my neck! I was terrified.
Dream interpretation: Limbs represent action, and the head represents thinking. If your head fell off, it means you encountered a very vexing problem that left you baffled for a while, but you later reattached it, indicating you finally solved the problem.
