Clothing In Dreams : Part 3 : Grooming and Accessories
March 23rd 2008 10:03
Usually when we are dressing, we also spend some time grooming. As in the waking world, if you are; you are highlighting the need to perfect your image which you are creating in your waking world. Dream grooming is about changing the ‘spiritual’ things we don’t like about ourselves, or perfecting them to show a more realistic ‘face’ to the world.
The area, or part, of the body being groomed is vital to understanding dreams in this genre and you should start your interpretation with a familiarisation of the A-Z of Body Parts <<here>>
Bouquet ~ If you see this symbol you are looking at a spiritual offering being made. Take note of what precedes and follows this dream. Very often on a psychological level, a bouquet is significant of the many talents and gifts you have to offer but are not utilising.
To be Given One – says you are starting to recognise your own abilities and want others to recognise them too, so will carry them in front of you, or wear them on your lapel.
To Be Giving One Away – suggests that you fully recognise that persons higher qualities and gifts.
Gypsy folklore has it that if the bouquet is bright and colourful in the dream you will inherit a legacy of some sort from a rich unknown relative. It also means the joyous gathering of young people.
Bracelet ~ In olden times to clearly see a bracelet was an indication of a wealthy marriage, health and happiness.
See Body Parts<<here>> for individual Wrists (Left and Right hands etc)…
See next post for necklaces and Jewellery.
Comb ~ Like the many ‘teeth’ on a comb, your self image is most likely being damaged, primarily by scattered energy. It is time to tidy up your act and put things into their prospective places when combs are a part of your nightly grooming ritual.
Cosmetics ~ You must first identify what you are preparing to do with your cosmetics... Are you going to cover up what you see as negative features and flaws, or use them to enhance what you see as your natural beauty?
Seeing cosmetics is a pure symbol of imbalance, in that it represents a deep feeling that there is something very wrong with our public image. Maybe we think we are too beautiful, maybe not beautiful enough. Either way, it is a dream which is clearly showing us that we are ‘putting on some sort of front’ to feel more acceptable to society, perhaps even lying to ourselves in some way?
See ‘Make-up’ Below for more meaning.
Hair ~ Our hair when seen in dreams is about our strength and virility within and about how we project that into our freedom and standing in the outer (waking) world. Are we empowered citizens, or victims of circumstances always beyond our control?
Combing Hair – This is certainly about trying to untangle a particular attitude that you have which you no longer feel is applicable to your current life situation.
Dishevelled Hair – According to the ancients, denoted coming sorrows and annoying disappointments.
Cutting Someone’s Hair – Suggests you may have been thinking about, or trying to restrict a certain activity or addiction…this symbol suggests success is possible if you try to temper it now. Good luck!
Greying Hair – To see your hair turn white slowly, denotes that you may loose your good fortune if you are not more prudent in your dealings and do not learn to ‘feel’ gratitude, daily..
White Hair – To dream that you have white hair is said to denote that a high honour will be bestowed upon you.
Short Black Hair – is believed to predict the coming of bad news and misfortune.
Look up Black in Colours <<here>> and Also Head <<here>>
Hair Falling out – A spotlight here on your very deep subconscious feelings of insecurity. Inferiority is starting to drain all your energy, possibly to the point of illness? You must shift your beliefs, and re-position yourself in your waking life to help reflect more positive energy. Address any negative ‘mind-talk,’ or ‘negative programs’ you may have ‘running in your head.’
Replace ‘I’m no good,’ with things like ‘I have perfect joy in a perfect way and my perfect joy has come to stay…’ or perhaps I have perfect work, in a perfect way, I give perfect service, for perfect pay.
Try to learn to turn every negative thought into a positive affirmation, including any ‘programs’ you may have 'running' that repeat - Love equals Abandonment. Love does not equal abandonment at all, that may just be something your parents did to you by being emotionally unavailable ... and not real anymore.
Baldness – Ideally it’s about finally recognising your form of intelligence. However gypsy folklore says;
A Bald woman – indicates coming famine and drought.
A Bald Man – Abundance, riches and health.
Hair in a Tangle – According to old European folklore when hair is too tangled to comb out, this dream is said to be a forerunner of coming quarrels and problems in which you will be the looser. You cannot win as the odds will be stacked against you… possibly even a lawsuit. It might be wise to eat humble pie and see if it lessons the severity of punishment.
Long Hair – Long flowing locks are a universal symbol of a longing or yearning for more freedom than is presently available. For a Man it is particularly significant that you be aware of current situations which are making you feel effeminacy and weakness beyond reasonable limits. You must extricate yourself from these situations as soon as possible, or make the changes necessary to change your waking parameters, if this dream is a recurring one.
Thinning hair – suggests lean times ahead financially and health wise. Schedule some rest to gain strength, least serious illness visits you… and save your pennies. This is not a time for loans, or shopping sprees as you will regret them.
Hairdresser ~ In psychological terms (as when any professional visits you in a dream), your hairdresser is also a representation of that part of yourself which you trust and like. People talk to their hairdressers freely… in this case, perhaps that part of yourself that deals with your image quite freely, too.
It is possible that you are looking at ways of radically changing your image …through the safety of our dream hairdressers lens and be they male or female, on the intellectual level the hairdresser represents the healer within us. The intimate, yet objective relationship where she/he can help us enhance our beauty, which is essential to grow … for we cannot grow spiritually if we do not like ourselves first?
To Be Having a Hair Cut – foretells that your efforts to create some order in your life will succeed.
Having Your Hair Coloured – Suggests that you will be scorned by society in some way as jealous enemies seek to blight your reputation in some way. Perhaps it is a good time to lay low in the waking world after this Celestial Hairdressers appointment?
To Be Having Your Hair Dressed or ‘Set’ – Suggests that you are spending too much time running after frivolous pursuits and may be letting important decisions go by the wayside. These things will mount up and may come back and bite you on the bum.
According to the Gypsy folklore, to visit a hairdresser in your dreams foretells that you be connected to a scandal, or a sensation caused by the indiscretion of a very attractive woman.
Handkerchiefs ~ A big symbol in the original five volume dream book, Oneirocritica compiled by Artemidorus Daldianus (120 AD). Supposedly a generic representation of the darker side of our flirtatious human nature and our ability for conditional group affairs.
You should look up the colour of your hanky <<here>> for more clues.
A Lost Hanky – was said to be a clear symbol of a broken engagement through no fault of your own. Today it can translate as the end of a relationship or separation, through no fault of your own.
A Torn Hanky – is a sad sight by all accounts and suggests that lovers quarrels will become so bad, that reconciliation may no longer possible. If you see this symbol take it as a serious warning to hold your tongue if you still care for a significant other in your life, least you say too much.
A Soiled Hanky – Be very careful ‘who you hang out with’ as you may be tainted by association, worse; corrupted by unwholesome friendships. If you have no choice, it would be prudent of you to seek out knowledge of how to protect yourself, through prayer, using white or blue light, and/or special protection meditations and mantra’s.
A Pure White Hanky – a signal of ‘a wolf in sheep’s clothing’ is trying to flatter you, but you will be successful in deflecting the meaningless flattery, and go on to win the heart of someone in a much higher and more honourable position.
Coloured Hankies (generally) – suggest that whilst your intentions are not purely moral, you will be able to handle yourself discreetly enough, and with enough ingenuity, so as to avoid disgrace… but will your conscience be clear?
Silk Hankies – You have a magnetic personality which will help you to make a good place for yourself in the world, primarily because of the ‘radiant joy’ you bring to others through your cheerfulness and optimism.
Waving Adieu With a Hanky – This is one from the Gypsy camps of Europe and is said to foretell that ‘…she will soon embark on a questionable ‘pleasure trip.’ You must guard against temptation of running the ‘gauntlet of disgrace’ by trying to secure some fancied pleasure at this time. Bide your time and things will work for the better, without the scandal you may otherwise invoke by being reckless now.
Shaving ~ Of course the interpretation of this symbol will vary on whether you are a man or a woman dreaming this dream.
If a Man – (shaving your face), then it is a clear indication that you are trying to make some changes to your image and should pay attention to all the symbols around this action.
If a Man’s Face Appears Smooth – A peaceful time ahead where you will not have to justify your behaviour to anyone.
If a Man’s Face Appears Old and Rough – folklore says there will be quarrels with your wife, or partner. Be clear in your communications and slower than usual to answer… think things through before you do.
If Your Beard Seems Grey – You are about to go through a phase of being able to judge things clearly at all! Guard against misfortunes by suspending your judgement, until this time passes.
If a Woman (shaving other parts of her body) – then the suggestion falls to her fears of becoming too masculine. This dream is showing you trying to remove a layer of your personality in order to change the eventuality of becoming ‘blokey.’ The shaving of this layer is an attempt to make yourself more beautiful to your peers.
This is a serious dream if you are in a relationship where your personality is not allowed the space and time it needs to be its feminine self or for prayer, meditation and ritual. .. or even the right to say no, when you mean no. Perhaps your boundaries are being compromised by a possessive partner. This dream is a sign that you need to address the situation immediately by gently asserting your right to a space that is your own and the freedom to rituals that bolster you true femininity.
In both cases to be ‘Closely Shaven,’ suggests that openness and honesty in our dealings with other people is now called for if we are to grow from the interaction in any way. Self deception will only hurt you, the dreamer, in the long run.
To Contemplate a Shave, But Not Actually Have One – Suggests that even though you plan for the successful development of all your enterprises, you will probably not raise the energy to see any of it through to successful completion. Perhaps it is time for you to look at this character flaw in previous failures. What stops you from seeing plans through to their conclusion?
To Shave Yourself – foretells that you have the abilities you need to be able to manage your own business and run your household satisfactorily.
If Your Razor is Dull, or Blunt and Pulls Your Skin – The Gypsy’s believe that you will give your friends cause to criticise your bad behaviour in coming months.
Teeth ~ See Body Parts 2 <<here>>
Wig ~ Symbolises false ideas, and unnatural attitudes, along with giving false impressions… Often this is a message that you have something to hide and need to deal with it soon before you loose friends over obvious lies are noticed… people do not respect people who are not true to themselves, for long.
You may end up only deceiving yourself in the end.
The Gypsy’s will go one step further and say it is a warning dream of dangers and peril ahead if you do not repent and come clean.
Warts ~ like any blemish, a sign of dual nature, which comes to your attention in your dream, alerting you to major distortions in the way you are perceiving the world right now.
As such, it also signals a time of great insight for you to make important decisions that can affect your life or of those around you by realising your possible errors of perception right now and changing course.
Some dream experts believe that as a symbol warts (and blemishes) link us to some deep part of ourselves that may still be superstitious.
According to the Gypsy folk it is not a good omen at all and to have a wart, suggests that you will not be able to adequately counter upcoming accusations made against your character in time.
To See Warts Leaving Your Hands – is considered slightly better, in that you will eventually be able to overcome obstacles and that your affairs will return to better than normal in the near future.
To See Warts On Others – is said to foretell that you have many bitter enemies nearby, who will – for a time – hold back your progress.
To Be Removing Warts Yourself (surgically) – you will struggle with low energy levels in trying to ward of threats and danger from all around you.
