Hair
Hair has wide-ranging symbolic significance. In
popular belief, the white hair of old men and women is seen as a sign of
wisdom. Black hair is connected with great passion, while blond hair is seen as
a sigh on inconstancy. Red-haired people are considered dangerous.
Hare
In the middle Ages, the hare was a symbol for God.
Three hares in a picture symbolize the Trinity, which continuously keeps watch
and sees and hears everything. It is only recently that the hare has
degenerated from being a symbol of fertility to being exclusively a sexual
symbol.
Hearth,
kitchen-range (stove)
The domestic hearth is a symbol of marriage; it is
the focus for family activity. Its significance is, however, wider ranging. In
the hearth, the energy of the fire transforms, so to speak, foodstuffs into
all-important food for the family. (Of course nowadays its cooking function has
been taken over by the electric or gas stove). The hearth thus has the
significance of a symbol of transformation and of life itself. It is a serious
sigh if the fire in the hearth goes out in a dream. Similar dream images appear
in presentiments of death in the family.
Horse
The horse is a dream symbol of great significance.
Dream research has to some extent confirmed the popular superstition that the
horse is a messenger of death.
Hospital
The hospital appears as an image of spiritual
illness and impoverishment. The specific departments in a hospital or clinic
refer to corresponding psychic functions. Heart disease, for example, refers to
emotional disorders, eye trouble refers to the failure to see a problem or a
relationship with someone in its true light, a stomach ailment indicates that a
situation of conflict has become 'indigestible' and is thus causing illness,
etc.
Hotel
The dream image of a hotel refers to areas or
situations which bring transition or changes with them. The hotel is not a
place where people live permanently; new people are encountered there.
Translated into dream language, this would mean that the people whom the dreamer
meets in the hotel embody unconscious or unknown psychic influences.
House
There are medieval pictorial representations of man in the form of a house.
What is meant here is the house of the soul. In a dream, the house also assumes
this symbolic meaning, and the individual rooms can be interpreted
correspondingly. The cellar is the realm of the unconscious. The kitchen, in
which psychic nourishment is prepared, is the province of female and motherly
aspects. The living room and study have exactly this significance for the
psyche's area of experience. The bedroom is the marital sexual domain and the
attic has, in a dream, the meaning of an area of forgotten or suppressed
memories
Haggard
To see a
haggard face in your dreams denotes you will meet with defeat in your love
affair or it may promise business losses. Your own face appearing haggard may
mean you are in for a bout of ill health for yourself, or the ill health of a
business enterprise. Your haggard face and a feeling of being tired means you
should slow down and rest before illness strikes.
Hail
To hear hail
beating on your roof or windows shows you will be having some trying times very
soon. If you are in a hail storm all your endeavors will meet with poor results.
If you see hail stones fall through the sunshine then will good fortune smile on
you.
Hair
If you dream
of finding a hair in a piece of butter and it does not disgust you then you will
be fortunate in all your dealings. You will take a long trip if you dream of
combing beautiful hair. Ruffle someones hair and you will come into money. To
dream you are getting bald foretells your generosity will cause you loss and
mental anguish. Seeing your hair turning gray shows death or disease in the
family. If a woman dreams of comparing black and white hairs show that she will
receive two offers and must choose the best one.
Hairdresser
For a woman to
dream of going to a hairdresser shows she will soon be entangled in some family
scandal concerning the morals of a member of her family. Should she have her
hair dyed, she will narrowly escape imprisonment. For a man to dream of a
hairdresser will presage much gossip or a need to dominate a beautiful woman.
Hairy Hands
If you see
yourself with hairy hands this denotes that you will bear false witness against
someone who is guiltless. The longer the hair the worse the lie. To see the hair
fading away shows there are those who will block you from harming this person.
Hallways
There is not
much significance to a hallway other then denoting an abnormal period of worry
and concern, so this dream should be interpreted using the other symbols in the
dream and reserving hallways under, 'worries'.
Halter
If you dream
of putting a halter on a horse this denotes that you have someone you wish to
lead around to your way of thinking, etc.. If you see a halter on a young horse
shows that you will have prosperous business dealings with a certain person.
Ham
If you dream
of eating ham then you will lose something that means a lot to you. Dreaming
about curing a ham denotes that you are being thrifty and that success will be
yours in due time. If you dream of seeing hams then this shows that you are in
some sort of emotional danger from a person close to you.
Hammer
If you dream
of using a hammer to drive a nail cleanly into wood then you will meet with much
success in whatever you choose to undertake in the near future. If you hit your
finger with it this will denote pain and loss from the treachery of a loved one.
To see a hammer means you will be easily discouraged.
Hand
If you dream
you see blood on your hands this denotes you will feel guilty if you do not aid
a person for whom you could help better their life. If you have an injury to
your hand it shows that someone else will garner the rewards that are rightfully
yours. Large hands show that you will go far in life towards achieving your
goals. If you see a detached hand then you are destined for a solitary life if
you do not change your ways. If you dream your hands are tied you will have
difficulty in completing something that you have begun.
Handbills
If you dream
of printing and distributing handbills this denotes that you will hear some
unfavorable news concerning a pending lawsuit. If you dream you are writing them
for distribution you are about to let a secret out that someone has trusted you
with.
Handcuffs
If you find
yourself handcuffed in a dream this shows that you will be beset by enemies. If
you see a pair of handcuffs this will show that there is a possible illness for
you in the near future. If you see someone else handcuffed then you will
overcome all your enemies and win out.
Handkerchiefs
If you lose
your handkerchief in a dream it is an omen showing that your engagement is in
danger of breaking up. If your hankie is torn then the lover's quarrels will be
so bad that you will not be able to make up. If you see a stack of pure white
handkerchiefs it shows that you will hold yourself true to your betrothed and
enter into wedded bliss. Waving good-bye with it may denote disgrace for the
dreamer.
Haunting
To dream you
are the victim of haunting by the spirit, or supernatural side, shows that you
have many things on your mind, and/or things that 'come back to haunt you'. Use
all the parts of your dream to find out just what situation in your life is
haunting you and put your mind at ease.
Hats
This is a
variable dream and depends more on the action in the dream rather then the hat
itself. These are a few meanings: A new elaborate hat denotes a rise in status
and good luck, while old shabby hats are a wide range of bad luck; if you lose
your hat you will have a loss of finances, etc..
Hieroglyphics
If you dream
of seeing hieroglyphics it foretells that you will be experiencing many
hardships as you try to figure out the right job or career for your personal
advancement. If you are able to read, and make sense of them, you will be able
to overcome many obstacles that are in your path.
Home (family)
If you dream
of visiting your old family home you will hear some very good news. If the home
itself, is in a dilapidated condition and general neglect, this then is an omen
that you will soon hear of the death of a close relative or a very dear friend.
If you go home and find everything much the same as it was and you feel and
express joy in the dream you will find love and joy in your present home.
Horse
If you dream
of a herd of wild horses roaming wild and free it could be a fantasy wish
fulfillment for your waking daydreams of freedom from cares and responsibility.
To dream of riding a dark horse shows that you will be successful in your
business but use shady dealings to get where you are. If your dream is of white,
or light colored horses then your fortune or your love is assured.
Hospital
To dream that
you are a patient in a hospital shows that you may soon be exposed to some
contagious disease and there is the possibility that you will contract it. If
you are only visiting a hospital then you will be able to avoid the illness. To
see a friend in a hospital shows that you will soon here some distressing news
about that person.
Hugging
If a woman
dreams she is hugging other men then her husband, she will become involved in an
affair that could threaten her marriage. If you dream of hugging in a general
way, you will lose your lover or your business. Hugging itself is a show of
affection, but in a dream it is not a very good omen, the effects of which could
be toned down to a general warning if the other signs in the dream allow it.
