Psychological Dream Interpretation
Beards represent career. Hair typically represents strength, but beards also have another meaning: longevity. In my country, long-lived people often have long beards; there’s also a popular belief in the West that a beard represents health.
Dreaming of a long beard is auspicious, foreshadowing career success and promotion, as well as longevity. A short beard suggests weakening strength, implying a decline in prestige and status.
Dreaming of a curving beard suggests excessive resistance, preventing normal growth. This suggests you’ll face career difficulties and be in a dilemma. You should seek help to overcome them as soon as possible. Dreaming of someone pulling out your beard suggests your strength and dignity will be despised, and you’ll be insulted. Be open-minded and learn to be tolerant.
