Hair Dreams: What Do They Mean

Introduction

Many experts, from psychologists to coaches believe that our dreams reveal most, if not all, of our secrets. Dr. Jung (pronounced Young) was a big believer is dreams as a part of the therapy process. Many of these experts, like Jung, believe that dreams can help us unlock the secrets in our subconscious.

Although not everyone agrees that dreams are the direct reflection of our deepest hopes, fears or wishes, many people do. Dream analysts and other experts spend years trying to understand the symbolism of dreams. Many books have been written on the subject of what the various symbols that pop up in dreams actually mean.

Recently I started dreaming about my hair. Weird as it seems I had a dream that I was looking for hairpins to use on my long hair.

I called a friend of mine, who is a psychologist, that is well versed in dream interpretation. I told her about my very vivid hair dream. After listening carefully to my various dream symbols, she said that dreaming about long hair is the sign of good heath. She also told me that hair pins mean that the future looks bright.

I became curious about all the different hair symbols that could potentially show up in my dreams and spent some time talking to my friend about these different meanings.

After taking detailed notes, I have listed the most common hair related symbols as a reference. Please note that the meanings are based on my dream interpretation friend's notes and studies. If you study dream interpretation, you might have a different opinion of some of the hair symbols that are listed below.

If you have other hair symbols that should be included or feel that some of the definitions should be expanded please email me.

I have a little confession to make. I really love writing articles for HairBoutique.com. Not only does it allow me to temporarily escape from the business and software parts of my brain, it allows me to learn all sorts of new things about hair. Who would ever believe that there are tons of hair related meanings for dream symbols. I can not begin to tell you how much fun it was to research all the different meanings. If I missed any that you know of, please let me know.
