Beard in a dream
Tradition links a beard in a dream with wisdom, maturity and a standing that is earned over the years.
Since old times the beard has been a mark of experience and respect, so dream books read it as maturity and standing. A long, well-kept beard is taken as wise advice and a calm, composed time, and shaving as a wish for change and a fresh start. If a beard is dreamed by someone who has none in waking life, folk say they are taking on responsibility and that others take them more and more seriously. It is a dignified dream, and its message is that patience earns respect.
The most common dreams
Dreaming of a long white beard
A white beard is read in folk tradition as wisdom and the advice of elders. The dream suggests listening to someone experienced, and the road will be shorter.
Dreaming of shaving off your beard
The old folks read shaving as taking off the old for a new, fresh start. They say you will shed a habit or a role that no longer suits you.
Dreaming of your beard growing
A growing beard is read as maturing and rising standing. Dream books say those around you are beginning to regard you with more respect.
Dreaming of a bearded man
In folk belief, a bearded man in a dream stands for an adviser or protector. It may announce a meeting with someone you will learn something from.
These interpretations come from folk tradition and are meant for fun; they do not predict the future and are not advice for life decisions.
