In colloquial terms, hair is a symbol of financial abundance. In the Bible, there is a notable story about hair – that of Samson’s story in the Book of Judges. His hair symbolized his tremendous power.
His lover, Delilah, however, was the one who eventually had it shaved while he was asleep. This caused him to lose all his strength, which led to his defeat.
What does hair in your dreams represent?
As mentioned, hair can represent a lot of varied things. Here are some of them.
Symbolic of financial abundance
Hair is symbolic of abundance in general. People who have a lot of it are revered and thought of to be well-endowed and blessed.
To dream of hair means that there is great abundance in your life. It is a reminder for you to rest in this knowing, no matter what your reality is at the moment.
Often, you can create your own reality just via how you look at things. This empowers you to look better and adapt a better view so you can also see things in a way that pleases you more.
Symbolic of fertility
Apart from abundance, hair also symbolizes fertility. Whatever you sow, you will reap greatly. So, make sure that you sow good seed so that you can be fertile with goodness, and harvest this plentifully.
Symbolic of beauty
In a lot of cultures, hair is also a symbol of beauty. Those with long, thick hair are thought of to be the most beautiful people.
There have also been a lot of hair growing and hair thickening products that have been developed over the years, so that those who are aging do not have to worry about losing their hair.
Dreaming of hair means that you have some thoughts about your beauty, how you are perceived, and the beauty of the people that surround you.
Symbolic of strength
In the Bible, Samson was the character that would let his hair grow endlessly because this is where he draws his strength.
Hair in your dreams could symbolize strength that you possess, and how you are able to wield influence towards others.
Symbolic of flexibility
A person’s hair is one of the easiest things to alter in one’s body. You can cut it, and even shave your head bald, and it will grow out again.
You can dye it a different color. You can style it however you want. This symbolizes a flexibility and grace that you possess or may be needing in your current life situation right now.
Symbolic of change
Sometimes, dreaming of hair can also be symbolic of change. Because hair can be so easy to change, seeing it in your dream means that there is something that will change in your life very soon. Don’t worry because you will be able to adapt to this change very easily.
Symbolic of chaos
Unruly hair can sometimes look chaotic and unbecoming. Dreaming of hair could also symbolize chaos in your world or in your life right now.
Do the best that you can to get yourself out of the chaotic situation so that you may be able to think more clearly.
Also, you may consider looking at things from a different angle. This usually works wonders, even if it may seem like such an uneventful shift.
Symbolic of seduction
Hair can sometimes be a seductive symbol. Hair in your dream could mean that something or someone is calling to you in a seductive way.
You feel as if you are not in your right mind, but really want to say yes to the offer of this situation or this person. Make sure that you get to clear your head before making any big decisions in your life.
Symbolic of betrayal
Hair in your dream could also be symbolic of betrayal. In the Bible, Delilah was the one who cut Samson’s hair. She was actually his lover. This ultimate act of betrayal is what carries this symbolism of hair in your dream.
This could also symbolize that someone is being untruthful to you. Someone in your life could be pretending that they are doing you good when they are really not.
In these situations, just follow your gut instinct and do not overthink things. You will realize the value of this maybe in the future when things become much clearer to you.
Symbolic of personality
Hair can carry a big part of any person’s personality. Seeing hair in your dream could be a gentle pull towards establishing your personality in a stronger way.
This could also mean that there is someone in your life whom you are drawn to because of their great personality.
Common Situations in Which you Dream of Hair
Dream of luscious black hair
This dream symbolizes luck and abundance for you. There is a lot in store for you in your future. Continue to await this expectantly and let this reality unfold for you.
Dream of long hair
A dream of long hair symbolizes health and vitality. Not everyone can grow their hair long. Cherish this gift and continue the habits that propagate it.
Dream of dyed hair
This dream is tapping on a certain vanity of yours. You may have encountered someone who woke up this sensibility in you.
Maybe you are seeing yourself in a different way, and have decided that you want to change some things in order to appear more beautiful to others. Go ahead and do what feels right for you.
Dream of white hair
Dreaming that you have white hair is a symbolism of wisdom. You may be thinking about things in ways that other people aren’t. You may also be getting insight that you don’t usually get.
Check on what this feels for you and listen to what it is telling you if you get to dig down and things feel good. This is a wisdom from the deeper spiritual Source that lies in you, so heed whatever it is saying.
Dream of black hair
This dream is symbolic of attraction. Maybe someone in your life feels like they are seducing you in some way, or in any case, you feel drawn towards them. This could also symbolize romance and a relationship in the future.
Dream of hair loss
This dream means anxiety and worry. You may have been burdened so much lately in your life and you have let this affect your mental health and stability.
Do your best to step back from these situations so that you may be able to get a breather and be able to decide how best to proceed with the situation.
If there is a particular person bothering you, try to take a step back and see the whole view. Often, they don’t really mean to irritate you. They just don’t know how to better behave, and this is the only way that they know how.
See them with gentler, more compassionate eyes, and remember that they are also a product of their own upbringing, experiences, and conditioning.
Dream of cutting your own hair
This dream symbolizes feeling out of control. You are trying to take control but you are only making it worse.
Imagine cutting your own hair in your waking life – you can’t really see the whole picture, and so you will end up doing a not so good job.
You have to learn to trust others as well. Do your best to let go when you can. Try it a little at a time – eventually, with continued practice, it will get easier.
Dream of cutting someone else’s hair
This dream could symbolize your desire to control other people. Maybe there is someone you’d rather behave a certain way, and your attempts are not working. You must realize that you can’t really control other people.
You have to let them be who they are. The only way you can effect change in anyone is to focus on the one thing that you can control – which is yourself and how you react to things.
Manage this, as this is the only thing you can actually get a hold of, and see how things transform for the better for you.
Dream of having your hair cut
This dream is symbolic of letting go and trusting. This is a reminder from your subconscious to let go and to trust more, the same way you do in the salon or the barber shop.
It almost always turns out exactly the way you want it to or even better – so there is no reason to not do the same in other areas of your life.
Dream of eating your hair
A dream of eating or sucking on your own hair is symbolic of going back to childhood desires and fantasies.
You are being called on to move towards your childhood dreams and not be ashamed of doing it – in fact, you should go at it with pride and full confidence that nothing is better to do at this moment in time.
Conclusion
Dreaming of hair has a lot of different connotations. Choose the one that best applies to your life, and follow the reminders that your subconscious is trying to tell you of.
