hi folks,
Had this really bizzare and distressing dream last night,it involved..losing hair!! I had shaved my head!! Not the entire head,just the front half of it.the back half was left untouched (much like how Kane had it when he still weared his mask).After I had got done buchering it,I immediately regretted it,and was like "what was I thinking?? "
Now,there are a lot of dreams where I actually know that I'm dreaming lol!!but not in this one!!It was really surreal!!Needless to say,I was really releaved when I woke up!!upon opening my eyes,my hand went straight for my head,to see if I still had my long locks,hehe!! *phew*
how about you guys?any hair dreams as of late?
I often dream that I have to have my hair cut. I think it is the aftermath of being in a strict school for 7 years.
I had no such dream, but in one recent dream...
I experienced some really weird things. Among other stuff, there was a young man, who pretended to be nice to me in some whiles, but for the most time he was a real psychopath, endangering me, but by the way I felt guilty when I protected myself. Really insane feeling. In fact, he looked quite like you, including the long hair :)
If I remember well, he ended up eaten by a shark in a water pool of shiny fractal purple patterns on surface. Later in this dream some girls told me that they drugged me by a heroine :) I woke sweated and very confused. (I believed in the dream reality totally)
Hi Jacob,
I have had both good and bad dreams. In the bad ones, huge clumps of hair are falling out all over, probably related to the fear I have of losing hair due to MPB.
The best one I had was last fall, when I dreamed I had a thick, waist length mane. It was actually that dream that made me even more inclined to grow my hair super long.
I have also been aware in dreams that I am dreaming, in fact, many times! I dream very frequently, probably because I am a restless sleeper and wake up many times in the night. (chronic insommnia)

Man! That doesn't sound like a dream to me. It sounds like a nightmare! I haven't had any of those so far... I hope i don't have them anytime soon either!
The last hair dream I had was several months ago, maybe even a year.
In my dream I was looking in the mirror, wondering why I had decided to cut my hair back to medium-length (just touching my shoulders). I wasn't upset about it, and even thought the style and length looked good on me; but I was puzzled as to when and why I decided to do this... I was also very slim & fit in this dream, and looked like I did when I was 23 years old (my "favorite year" - lol).
When I cut my hair short in real-life (in Y2K), I was not that "mellow" as I was in this dream: I was VERY upset about the haircut, in fact (an understaement)!
I like to look at dreams as sometimes a reflection of our sub-conscious thinking... Two things were very positive to me about this dream: one was that I must have had enough common sense in this dream to not cut my hair truly "short" (meaning, I must have learned a lot of valuable lessons from my real-life horrible Y2K cut); the other was that I was relieved to know i was more relaxed & accepting of the change, knowing from experience that it would indeed grow back!
Oh, well. Enough about getting all philosophical about dreams! I've had hair dreams all my life. When it was short, I occasionally would dream of it being long, --- and visa-versa. I also dreamt one time that I had suddenly gone almost totally bald... But I'm happiest not dreaming anything too drastic about the subject (lol)!!

Hi Jacob
No hair dreams just the odd going to work naked dream, which scary as that may be I still had my hair.
Yeah, I've had that dream. What's weird about my dreams is I never see anyone but I know that they're there but interact with them all the same. I mostly see places and situations that I've never been in before but it will actually happen in the waking world months or years later. Precognitive stuff. It worrys me when I have bad dreams... Especially when I die in them. Is there a literal or metophorical meaning? It really messes with my head sometimes.
Funny thing, but not all that long ago I had my 1st and only dream in my entire life that someone (while I was sleeping) cut off my hair.
Funny. I had a very similar dream a few weeks ago. I dreamt that my ex-girlfriend had hired my roomate to shave the back of my head while I was asleep. I awoke(in my dream) and was absolutely furious and I confronted her about it. It was actually a very empowering dream. Needless to say I was relieved when I awoke for real and found my locks intact.
Aint no Dream you mean Nightmare or Bad Dreams Lets hope they dont come true !!!!

You have to be kidding dude! I had the same dream!! ..... that you shaved your head!!!!
Okay .... just kidding ... lol. That wasn't a dream ... that was a nightmare! Keep it growing.

A while ago I had a dream where I noticed over a couple months that my hair had started growing again from (the current) terminal length...it was down to past knee and clicking along at 1/2" per month...not other changes though.
And a few days ago, I dreamed I was a bit behind a pair of twins, young women with identical floor length, shiny, golden, slightly wavy hair, accompanied by their brother with less wavy dark brown hair to calf length. I was frustrated because I was blocked by random people keeping me from complimenting them on their hair. My hair was normal and down.
Friends,
I have to admit that I am a psychologist, and I have had similar dreams. They all seem in their individual colors and shapes to express the struggle we have had in going contrary to conventional social expectations. We might lose it, it might be taken from us, or we might go past our previous expectations and be even more successful (Trolly Pup), i.e society can't hold me back.
The interesting aspect of this to me is that we long hairs have already won. At least 1/10 men in the world I live in have longish hair. I do not hear of school or work oppression, and I see long haired men in every profession and working for almost every merchant I patronize. Long hair does not keep you from getting jobs.
I rushed to the grocery this afternoon to pick up a gallon of cow juice, and observed an apparent heterosexual working class couple: her hair did not desserve comment. His hair was not shiny clean, but casually parted in the middle, and culminating in a totally neat and long bob in back. Had I not been in a hurry I would have said "Good haircut, where ?" But I was in too much of a hurry to get involved, and this is the sort of conversation that cannot be hit and run.
Mentally healthy as we all are or we could not have withstood the social pressure to be ourselves, most of us are a little scared from the presssure to get in line -- the emotion leaks out in dreams, and the dreams represent reintegration of our sense of self. I.e., we withstood the assault and wok up in tact.
Of course, in addition to this structural observation, our dreams are very personal.
