Curly Hair Dream Meaning

Curly hair (I have this) is so deep on many levels. Let me tell you something, this is about looking at a situation and coming back with a solution. This can be about how the world has tried to straighten out of you, flatten out of you, chemically burn out of you.. Even.

Yes, I know that is harsh. That curl? That spiral? That twist that refuses to lie down and properly behave? It is a crown that you were born wearing, it is telling me you don’t follow the rules, you are unique. And, more importantly in life (as someone with curly hair) we are told that straight is pretty, straight is acceptable. God did not make a mistake. If you woke up with curly hair in your dream last night and thought about what that meant, maybe you had a perm or something.

What does curly hair mean spiritually?

What nobody tells you about curly hair in the spiritual realm: represents resistance. And not the angry sort. This is the matra like no-one is going to be bigger than you is the vibes here. Curly hair spiritually represents wild wisdom, creative energy that does not follow a pattern, and the chaos of divine femininity. In many ancient cultures, people who wore their hair curled or coiled were considered closer to God because their hair extended outward in all directions like antennae for receiving messages from the universe. Straight hair falls, it falls due to gravity. But curly hair? It is all over the place, hard to control.

In some African spiritual traditions, tightly coiled hair was thought to be strong enough to trap evil spirits before they entered the head. Spirals were considered sacred geometry and the same patterns you find in tornadoes, in DNA, in the cochlea of your inner ear. This means if you have curly hair (in real life or even ad ream) there is a sort of blueprint of creation on your head.

Wild curly hair was considered to have the gift of second sight in Celtic folklore. The Victorians thought curly-haired people had passionate, unpredictable temperaments - and honey, they were right. But what they called unpredictable we call unwilling to do on demand.
If curly hair came into your dream, what is the universe asking you: where have you flattened yourself to fit? Where are you chemically treating your nature to make people comfortable? What parts of you need permission to spiral, to coil, to reach in every direction at once?

What does curly hair mean?

Curly hair symbolizes, that you don’t follow rules as I said before. And we all know it grows so so slow. The spiral represents growth, it is a spiraling plant that grows not in a straight line but toward light. Regardless of how you come to know life, your path to enlightenment or maybe your path to healing, it isn't linear. And that's how it ought to be. Dark curly hair indicates feminine divine energy. Looking into mythology I read that goddess Kali has wild, untamed hair. And, don’t forget the crazy ability to petrify men was contained within Medusa's serpentine hair. Whoever wears curly hair, can’t be controlled. If your dreams or your meditations include curly hair symbolically and you have straight hair, this means you want to break the rules so how.

How can you tell in case your dream is a sign from God?

Let me be straight with you: not every dream comes from heaven. Some dreams come from your brain of stuff that happens in daily life. Or from that late-night documentary about something really weird. But some dreams? Some dreams represent divine communication, and there are certain markers that separate the two.

A dream from God may sometimes be clear, like vivid. Dreams usually really vivid in my view some are foggy, scattered, some just straight out weird. But warning dreams are vivid, this is because you remember colours, words, faces and just about anything. And when you wake up the dream does not go away. Joseph remembered in a dream that he should take Mary and Jesus to Egypt and acted on it immediately. In the bible, pharaoh had seven fat cows seven thin cows and seven healthy heads of grain in dreams. God gave him the message twice in different forms: this isn't random. A warning dream makes you act, there's a difference. If your dream od curly hair tells you to harm yourself or others, that is not divine. If what you know in your spirit you were ignoring in your dream is confirmed in your dream. 

What does your dream about hair mean?

Hair in dreams is never hair about only. In  dreams it's never just hair, you wear hair because it represents your thoughts, your identity, your power; your connection to the spiritual realm. You may be dreaming your curly hair is falling out, this means you lose some personal power in life. To dream of curly hair being cut means that something is draining you. This is your subconscious mind, to dream of seeing a hair dresser or barber cutting your curly hair: may represent a situation or company stripping you of your authenticity.

To dream your hair is growing fast: then expansion is coming. This means you are growing internally, and maybe your thoughts are powering up. It might be a signal that you are working really hard. Dreaming about tangled hair, this means your internal thoughts are tangled. It helps to sit down, sit down and work through what's tangled. This isn't about getting the comb to work through the knots, it's about patience and working out what is important in life. Seeing, long, healthy hair means longevity and good fortune. Hair is part of the nervous system - cutting it can mess with your intuition. Some faiths consider hair sacred and never cut it, as it brings divine energy into the body. That means your spirit is communicating with you about power, 

My last thoughts on this dream

So taking everything above that I have written, your curly hair dream is about the rules in life. It is basically saying you were made to spiral, stop trying to be straight! The world will keep selling you straighteners. Keep bringing you chemicals for that perm. Keep giving tutorials on how to control what can never be controlled. But that curl keeps coming back because that's who you are. This means your path should be spiralled, instead of straight forward. One last thing: you were not made to lie flat, and you were made to rise.
