Dreams related to hair are mystifying and intriguing, especially when they involve long hair. In many cultures, hair is seen as a symbol of power, identity, and vitality, and cutting it can have both positive and negative connotations. I personally, as an interpreter of dreams, perceive it as a negative symbol, though.
If you’ve had a dream about someone cutting their hair, and this dream seems to be stuck in your head, there’s a reason, and you should probably know its meaning. Here’s what your dream means spiritually, along with its symbolism.
Spiritual Meaning
On a spiritual level, a dream about someone cutting their hair is a sign of weakness, vulnerability, and lack of will to fight in life. Hair is a powerful symbol of wisdom, strength, and vitality, and when someone cuts it voluntarily, it means they are giving up something or no longer have the will or strength.
The person in your dream may be going through a difficult time and may feel down, helpless, or powerless. Just because they don’t talk about something with you or anyone else about their problems or seem fine on the surface doesn’t mean they are fine. They may be losing control of their lives or feeling helpless.
Change of Identity
Hair is also seen as a symbol of identity. It is not for nothing that they say that “the hair makes the man.” And you yourself have surely noticed that when you change your hairstyle, you feel and maybe even look like a different person. When someone else cuts their hair in a dream, they may desire to change their identity. Perhaps they feel bored or stuck in a stereotype and long for a significant change.
In some cases, it could literally mean a desire to change identity, i.e. change gender, along with name and everything that reminds them of the past.
Cutting Past Ties
The act of cutting with scissors in dreams is a metaphor for cutting past ties, relationships, or old beliefs. Hair, on the other hand, represents strength and wisdom. Combining these two symbols could indicate that the person in the dream is trying to cut something that was making them weak or taking control of their life.
When hair is cut, it begins to grow back after a while, which indicates that the person is getting rid of something that no longer serves them and, at the same time, making room for something new; for new growth. In this sense, it would be a positive interpretation. But it is still important to remember as many details as possible from your dream before jumping to a hasty conclusion.
Weakened Intuition
It is no secret that hair is interpreted in spiritual books as a symbol of intuition and spiritual awareness. Some old books even claim that the longer and more voluminous the hair, the better the intuition. After all, look at the photos of witches. All of them had long and voluminous gray hair, so there must be some truth to that.
One possible spiritual interpretation of this dream is that it symbolizes a loss of intuition or psychic ability. When someone is cutting it off, it could represent a disconnection from these energies. This dream may be a sign that they need to work on strengthening their intuition and reconnecting with their inner self. And you’re probably the one who should remind them of this.
You Should Take Someone As An Example
In a positive sense, cutting hair is often associated with shedding old layers and starting anew, and the person who was in your dream could be an example to look up to.
For example, if you had a dream about a friend cutting her hair and she is someone who was able to get that dream job that you also want, this dream could be telling you that you can do it too and that you should be inspired. Perhaps it’s time to get rid of all self-limiting thoughts and beliefs and start thinking big. It may also be time to reach out to that person for advice or tips.
It should be noted that there are various ways to interpret the situation, and not all interpretations may be applicable to everyone. I suggest that you try to recall all the specifics and emotions from the dream.
Biblical Meaning
During the biblical era, hair was frequently regarded as a sign of might and authority, and the act of shaving it off was occasionally employed to humble or disgrace people. In this sense, dreaming of someone getting their hair cut might indicate a decline in power or sway in their existence. This might be linked to their spiritual path, occupation, or interpersonal connections.
