Hat in a dream
According to old dream books, a hat in a dream speaks of reputation, a new role and how you wish others to see you.
Old dream books say that what you wear on your head shows how you present yourself to the world. A nice new hat is read as good standing, praise or a role that suits you, an old one as a habit you gladly keep. In folk belief it also matters whether you put it on or took it off: the first means taking something upon yourself, the second showing someone respect. Whatever it looked like, this dream is believed to bring a little extra confidence.
The most common dreams
Dreaming of wearing a new hat
It is read as recognition or a new role at school, at work or among friends. Folk belief says it will suit you nicely, just like the hat from the dream.
Dreaming of the wind blowing your hat away
People say a small, harmless mishap awaits, one that first confuses you and then makes you laugh. There is no need to take it seriously.
Dreaming of buying a hat
In folk belief you would like a small change in your looks or habits. The dream encourages you to try something different, because change suits you.
Dreaming of a big straw hat
Old dream books link it to summer, rest and carefree days outdoors. It is said to announce an outing or a break you have been daydreaming about for a while.
These interpretations come from folk tradition and are meant for fun; they do not predict the future and are not advice for life decisions.
