Psychological Dream Interpretation
Dream Interpretation: In dreams, an adult’s body symbolizes their complete self (including their personality and characteristics) or conscious self. When a person is still a hungry infant, their body becomes their most important source of information.
Psychological Analysis: The head is the most important part of the human body, controlling all life activities. Dreaming of a person’s head warns you to be more intelligent in your actions. Lowering your head represents a humble request. Dreaming of covering your head or wearing a hat suggests that your intelligence is being suppressed or that you are accepting another person’s ideas and perspectives. Dreaming of being hit on the head suggests that you should reflect on your behavior in a particular situation.
Case Study of Dreaming of a Head
[Dream Example 1]
In my dream, I traveled abroad with a travel agency. After a 10-hour flight, I boarded a boat. We eventually arrived on a small island. Upon landing, I was shocked by the people on this island, who had multiple heads. It was truly terrifying. (Male, 30 years old)
Dream Interpretation: The meaning of a head in a dream depends on the details of the dream. Generally speaking, dreaming of a head indicates success. Dreaming of yourself or someone else having multiple heads, or your own head growing larger, foretells a sudden rise in status. Dreaming of someone chopping off your head is a reminder to be mindful of your words and actions. Dreaming of holding your head in your hands signifies frequent good news.
Also, dreaming of a face suggests making new friends, gaining new experiences, or experiencing new financial gains.
Dreaming of a forehead suggests you have a sharp mind and are a very intelligent person.
[Dream Example 2]
Usually, I’m in relatively good health and rarely get sick year-round. But a few days ago, I dreamed of feeling dizzy and heavy, as if I were about to faint. I felt like I would faint if I wasn’t careful. (Male, 21 years old)
Dream interpretation: Dreams of dizziness are a reminder to be cautious and careful. If you’re truly unwell, dreaming of dizziness suggests you should go to the hospital for a checkup. If you are healthy, for men, this dream is a reminder not to get carried away by success. If you are healthy, for women, this dream is a reminder not to get too obsessed with new people.
