What Could Be The Meaning Of This Dream? by JezB: 10:17am On May 10, 2023
I keep seeing myself in the dream having a very long hair on my head. Sometimes the hair may be in thick locks like dreads or other times they may just be huge. I have been having this dream repeatedly and I don't know the meaning. I am a bit anxious because I want to know the meaning. I feel like it has a significant meaning that is why I keep dreaming about it. I have searched for the meaning on Google but they are different interpretations leaving me even more confused and worried.

PS: I don't imagine or fantasize about keeping dreads. I keep a low cut and I am comfortable with it.

oh OK. Hair most times simplifies one's glory, probably God is beautifying your life.

I'm no Joseph the dream interpreter, but the dream is self explanatory and quite simple to construe..

here's my two cents concerning your dilemma, since you've never fantasized about dreadlocks, neither do u have the least inclination towards keeping n maintaining one. I think u should start reconsidering your hairstyle and opt for long dreads, maybe you're Samson 2.0 (lite version) lol

u might as well see your pastor or any trustworthy elder around your neighborhood to seek their opinion, best of luck man...

Do you have some sort of anxiety regarding your hair? Are you desperately trying to grow your hair or have you been shedding a lot for some time now? I have dreams of myself with different hair lengths but I never find myself waking up anxious about any of that at all since it is to be expected in dreamscape. Now, if you have some low self-esteem issues where your hair is concerned, I can see how that can cause stress. You may want to go see a mental health counselor and probably a doctor about your hair issues. undecided

I did and it led me to wonder then why you worry about your hair's appearance in a dream. Sometimes we say things that we don't really mean because we feel it is the right thing to say. So, maybe in a talk therapy session, you can maybe come to realize why you are fixated on finding answers to this hair dream puzzle even as you claim that you are fine with your hair as it is. undecided

1. Oh, I thought you meant you keep having dreams where you hear different lengths but the same dream. Check out what the dream foundation says about recurring dreams, and a recent scientific release on how recurring dreams have to do with fear of failure
https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/09/health/recurring-dreams-meaning-cause-wellness/index.html
What Do Recurring Dreams Mean?
The idea that dreams have hidden meanings in their content was a popular component of Freudian dream theory. But, there is little evidence to support the idea that dreams with the same content or themes have the same meaning for everyone. However, examining what your dreams mean to you personally can still be meaningful, particularly in a therapeutic context.

Experiencing recurring dreams may point at underlying issues regardless of the dream’s content. Adults who experience frequent recurring dreams tend to have worse psychological health than those who do not, and many experts theorize that these dreams may be a way to work through unmet needs or process trauma. Another theory is that recurring nightmares may have given our ancestors the chance to practice detecting and avoiding danger. People who are under more psychological stress tend to have more negative recurring dreams, although a lack of stress is not related to having more pleasant recurring dreams.

One peculiar thing about Nazrites is the hair.
As a symbol of consecration, to separation.

Go to the Bible and read about Nazrites.

Interprete it symbolically.

The article never said recurring dream as to do with fear of failure alone.

The dreamer is the only person in a better position to understand why they have a recurring dream.

You're the only one that can correctly decode the meaning of the dream.

Recurring dreams may be telling you that something you are currently involved in, or facing in life, has some similarity with what you have experienced in the past.

Your mind is reacting as if the current situation is the same as before. If you understand what the dream symbol (long hair or dreadlocks) mean personally for you, then you're closer to understanding the cause of the dream.



What do you associate dreadlocks with?


How do you regard or feel about people who carry long hair or dreads?

Answer the above question sincerely ,and don't be surprised that the next time you have the same dream you will wake up with the instinctive knowledge of what it means.

I'm tempted to interpret your dream because of the clue contained in your last statement, but won't do so since I don't know you personally.

And it's not good thing to allow strangers to interpret your dreams as they may use their own personal experience to do so and give you a wrong interpretation.

Please, feel free to give your own interpretation. Nothing is absolute. At the end, I still have to decide if I want to take it or not.

Why keep mentioning me abeg, for attention or what? By the way, I hope you are not advising OP to seek knowledge from the very same Maker who made clear that He does not have direct dealings with the unrighteous or are you insinuating God lied or something? undecided

You see, Scripture states that God does not answer the prayers of the unrighteous; the pleas and requests and every petition, praise, offering, work, plea, sacrifice, etc., of the unrighteous are tainted by their sins(disobedience/unholiness) and are hence an abomination to God. So, what is definite is that even your many pleas for the forgiveness of sins are not answered by God given that God made no special exemptions for that kind of plea. No amount of praying can cause God to change His mind regarding that which concerns the unrighteous by the way. So if you are thinking of prescribing more prayers that only means you really don't understand or know God at all. undecided

God, however, openly bragged about how He only answers the prayers of the righteous; He delights in granting them the desires of their heart meaning that they are those who are loved by Him. For this very reason, Jesus Christ urged His followers to seek first the Kingdom of God and God's Righteousness in order that all things— the blessings and rewards of the Kingdom of God(holiness), answers to prayers included—shall be added on to them. And as Jesus Christ explained in His Gospel, the only way to become Holy, and then also Righteous, is by way of continuous submission and obedience to the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ, god's Truth and Law in the Kingdom of god - John 8 vs 31 - 36 & John 14 vs 15 - 23. Jesus Christ is the only way. Obedience to the Truth of God is the one and only path to righteousness. No amount of praying and other religious rituals can accomplish that. undecided

God deals indirectly with the unrighteous, the same way He deals with the unbelievers including the wicked and the ungrateful and that is by pouring out His mercy and kindness on them daily. So every time as an unrighteous you feel that God has answered your prayer know that at that same moment, or moments before that, God also provided the same mercy or similar to someone else across the world — or maybe just across from you— who does not even believe in God, nor asked God for anything. So, if answers from God are what you seek, then do what Jesus Christ said you should, which is to seek first the Kingdom of God(holiness), and then God's righteousness, in order that all these things —the blessings and rewards of the Kingdom of God(including answers to prayers) can be added to you. undecided

This is why many of you are spiritually lazy. Instead of working hard to pass, you want expos. You can't grow in spirituality not churchianity if you don't know how to connect with your higher self/angel to get answers to what is revealed to you. They distance themselves from you or stop giving you revelations if you are not making any effort to grow in knowledge. When you get such revelations, meditate on them. Pray and ask for clarity. Then sleep. The answer might come. All you need is to grow. Also ask for clairvoyance

What am I going to do with attention from you, kobojunkie?

I mentioned you because I knew exactly what you would say and how you would react about the op and you didn't disappoint.

Who is a righteous person?

Is it possible for you to ascertain if a person is righteous without even knowing who he/she is?

You even mentioned dream foundation? You referred jezb to a website for dream interpretation or whatever and kicked against my assertion that he should go to his Maker for knowledge. Are you ok, kobojunkie?

1. To answer your question, yes, it is possible to ascertain if a person is righteous or not without knowing who he/she is. Jesus Christ said that you will know those who are His by their fruits. A righteous individual, for instance, will be a light towards which those who are of the world — the Lost sheep of Israel in particular — would be drawn. Even an unrighteous born-again thirsting/seeking after the Kingdom of God(Holiness), and God's righteousness wouldn't even ask people for an interpretation of dreams. Why? Because Jesus Christ said it can't be. undecided

2. Um... If God Himself made clear that the prayers, offerings, sacrifices, praises, giving, "good" work, petitions, thanksgiving, etc., of the unrighteous, are an abomination to Him because their sins make them all a filthy abomination which God rejects, why would you still go and ask an unrighteous to pray to God for a real-life problem that you know God will not hear nor resolve for them? Why not send such a person to get answers that can at least help him along the path to resolving the said issue without needing to wait in vain for God? (And yes, an unrighteous man waits in vain for God to answer his prayers because God said He will not answer the prayers of the unrighteous.) undecided

It is obvious your dream interpretations do not come from God. So, what do you want me to do? Ask OP to pray when OP could instead get a resolution to the anxiety resulting from the dream by speaking to a mental health counselor. undecided
Re: What Could Be The Meaning Of This Dream? by elated177: 6:55pm On May 12, 2023
Kobojunkiee, you are an unstable soul. You can be delivered if you seek the help of YHVH Almighty, our Father in heaven.


How do you ascertain the fruits of a person you don't know and have never had any direct dealing with.

I am not disputing the Scripture. I know the prayer of the enemies of YHVH Almighty are abominations before him. You can't work for Mr A and expect to be paid by Mr B. It doesn't work that way. Unless, of course, there is an agreement between Mr A and Mr B to that effect. The servants of Satan and the demons are the enemies of their Creator, YHVH Almighty, and will never get any attention from him whenever they pray to him. Do they even pray to him?

Did I submit any interpretation here? I said that the Op should seek knowledge from his Maker. If he is righteous, fine and dandy. He will be just asking the Father for clarification of his recurring dream. If he is unrighteous, then he is going back to his Maker just like the prodigal son. Why would anyone who claims to be a follower of the Word of YHVH Almighty have problem with such recommendation. Again, kobojunkiee, are you sure you are alright?
