Death (Own)
Dreaming of your own death is rarely a premonition — it almost always symbolizes the end of something in your waking life: a relationship, career phase, belief system, or identity. These dreams are actually among the most positive symbols in dream analysis, representing major transformation and the possibility of rebirth into a new phase of life.
Hair
Hair in dreams symbolizes strength, vitality, and personal identity. Losing hair may reflect fears about aging, loss of power, or identity crisis. Growing long hair can represent freedom and natural expression. Cutting hair dramatically may symbolize a major life change or desire to reinvent yourself. The Samson and Delilah archetype connects hair to power.
