Dream Interpretation: In dreams, the adult body symbolizes the person’s complete image (including personality and characteristics) or conscious self. Even when a person is still a hungry infant, their body becomes their most important source of information.
Psychological Analysis: Hair represents strength and reproduction. Noticing hair in a dream indicates a desire to resolve a question within yourself. Dreaming of having your hair cut suggests a desire for a peaceful and orderly life. Dreaming of cutting someone else’s hair suggests a strong sense of subjectivity. Dreaming of being bald suggests confidence in your own intelligence.
Dreaming of Gray Hair: A Case Study
In my dream, I was sitting in the sun, the warm sunlight shining down on me, so comfortable! My hair had grown considerably, and I was slowly stroking it with one hand while combing it with the other. There was no mirror in front of me, yet I suddenly noticed a surge of gray hair. (Female, 28 years old)
Dream Interpretation: Dreaming of someone else’s growing hair suggests a growing dislike for worldly life. Dreaming of combing your hair with a comb indicates a happy and comfortable life. However, dreaming of suddenly growing white hair, especially in a comfortable situation, could mean you’re about to face sadness.
Hair is often called “love threads.” Turning white can indicate a void in your emotions. If you don’t have a partner, you should invest more in your relationship; if you already have one, you should maintain it.
