Dreaming of a Hat

hat, fedora · mixed

A new hat points to progress and success; a lost, damaged or wind-blown one, to setbacks.

What happens in the dream

  • You wear a new hat you like: joy, profit, admiration and a favourable change of position
  • An old, shabby hat: you'll soon fall in love
  • You lose your hat: unsatisfying business and broken appointments
  • The wind blows your hat off: sudden changes, mostly for the worse
  • A torn or dirty hat: damage and dishonour

How you felt

  • Concern with image: the dream often reflects the role or status you display
  • Insecurity: you may fear losing your place

Ask yourself

  • Which hat am I wearing right now?
  • Do I want to try a different role?
