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.
Hiding
Hiding in dreams represents avoidance, the desire for protection, or shame about something in your life. What you're hiding from reveals what you're avoiding in waking life. Successfully hiding may indicate relief from pressure, while being found despite hiding suggests that avoidance isn't working. Hiding someone else may represent protecting someone or concealing a secret.
