Hair
Strength, identity, sexuality
Pig
Abundance, indulgence, earthiness
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.
Pig
Pigs in dreams can represent abundance and prosperity (piggy bank symbolism), earthiness and groundedness, or overindulgence and gluttony. In Chinese culture, pigs represent wealth, fortune, and honest work. In Western symbolism, pigs are sometimes associated with sloth and excess. The context of the dream determines which meaning applies — a happy pig on a farm differs greatly from a pig in filth.
