Barber Hairdresser

Change of attitudes, thoughts or opinions about oneself. Because we can change our social appearance by a haircut or style, it depicts changes of mind, change of image. Therefore being in someone else’s hands – the barber or hairdresser – shows the influence someone else might have on the changes we make in our life.

In some dreams there appears to be a lot of anxiety or fear surrounding the barber dream.

Sometimes having a hair cut can mean you are getting rid of so much thinking. In that way your inner life has a chance to open more. The hair and dealing with it can point to the way we deal with our thinking, controlling it, or allowing it to be out of control. Our thoughts can build up to become labyrinths we lose ourselves in, or terrifying scenes of fear we torture ourselves with. So sometimes our dreams point out what we are doing in that way, and perhaps how quieting or surrendering our thinking can open us to a transforming influence.  And usually, while you are having a hair cut you are looking in a mirror. This is the gift of reflection, the ability to see your Self. The image you see might not be to your liking, but is a true reflection of you, warts and all. See: Hair; Roles.
