Dreaming of a Head
head · mostly positive, with exceptions
A head is mostly a good sign, pointing to distinction and powerful support; a severed or aching head points to disappointment and worry.
What happens in the dream
- You have two or more heads: a dramatic but unstable rise
- A child's head: much pleasure ahead and real financial success
- You wash your head: people will seek your counsel, and you'll escape a danger
- A well-shaped head, or someone with a large head: influential people will help you
- You dream of your own head: nervous strain is a risk
- Your own head is very large: distinction and esteem; if you are ill, headaches and fever
- Your head aches: you'll be weighed down with worry
- A bloody, severed head: bitter disappointment and dashed hopes, or the loss of someone close
- You have a lion's or wolf's head: a good sign; a donkey's or horse's head: hardship and servitude
How you felt
- Mental overload: the dream often reflects a mind running at full speed
- A need for recognition: you may want your judgment to be heard
Ask yourself
- What keeps going round in my head?
- Am I thinking too much at the expense of what I feel?
