Because hair grows from the head and thoughts are associated with the head, the primary dream symbolism of hair relates to thoughts and thought processes. For example, crazy hair can indicate crazy thoughts. Knotted hair or dreadlocks can indicate confusion or inability to think something through. Kinky or curly hair can symbolize convoluted thoughts. Combing hair can symbolize putting thoughts in order. Cutting hair can symbolize simplifying thought processes. Then there are common metaphors that use hair as symbolism. Letting hair down can symbolize relaxing inhibition. Messing up hair can symbolize a “bad hair day” or disorder. Pulling hair out can express frustration or stress. It can be a sign of illness. Washing hair can symbolize the nightly process of clearing the memory banks to make room for the next day, or cleaning up your thoughts or thought processes. It can symbolize trying to forget a bad memory. Washing hair is associated with the routine of getting ready to go out in public or just face the day. Washing hair can be part of the ritual of getting ready for work or school, so the association can be used to create symbolism related to preparation. For example, you prepare ahead of time for a meeting by thinking through what you want to ask and say. See: Showers Dreaming about changing your hairstyle can symbolize a new approach or self-image. The idea ties in with how a change in hairstyle can indicate a new phase of life or other big change. For example, you change your hairstyle before taking a new job, so you project a more professional image. A great haircut can change your life. It can show a new outlook or perspective, a new phase of life, or a “new you.” Because hair is used to cover the head, it can symbolize wanting to hide something about yourself, especially your thoughts or appearance. It can mean you’re uncomfortable showing who you really are. This use of the symbolism will show in details such as the face being covered or obscured by hair. Very long hair is associated with being instinctual or natural. It can symbolize the long, slow process of growth in your mind, emotions, or inner being. It can be a sign of a deep intellect. Vanity is a possibility for symbolism when you dream about being obsessed with your hair, or a character makes fun of your hair. Being made fun of can be a way of having your ego punctured, or indicate self-consciousness. Dying your hair an extravagant color can symbolize a desire to stand out or express your individuality. It can mean you don’t care if some people think you’re eccentric or weird, or you do things your way and don’t care what other people think. See: Colors Touching someone’s hair has sensual and intimate connotations. It suggests personal or physical closeness, because you generally have to be close with someone to touch the hair. It can be a sign of trust and letting your guard down. It can symbolize understanding a person’s thoughts or connecting on a personal level. Removing body hair can symbolize cleaning up your image or getting ready for a big personal change. For example, after a summer away from college, a student dreams about plucking long hairs from his feet, symbolizing that he knows when school starts again he’s going to busy. Removing body hair can mean you’re willing to make sacrifices to fit in socially. Or it can show discomfort with instinctual drives. For example, a man dreams about shaving off his pubic hair, showing that he’s uncomfortable with sex and disconnected with something that should come naturally. Removing body hair or head hair can symbolize wanting to see what’s inside or beneath, such as when one is truly getting to know a person, or trying to understand a subject or situation. Hair that grows or covers the body like fur can symbolize something that protects or guards you physically or psychologically, such as a protective instinct or even your persona. It can symbolize a period of being idle, such as being on a long vacation or home for summer break and “letting it all hang out.” To explore the symbolism of baldness, see: Bald. Removing fur from the body can symbolize denying your instincts and instinctual drives. It shows discomfort with the body or bodily processes.
