Dreadlocks are a symbol of freedom, individuality and spirituality which has been worn by many cultures for centuries. They are also known to represent one’s own identity and who they are. To dream about dreadlocks means that you are being challenged to consider your true essence and what sets you apart from other people.
Dreadlocks in dreams signifies you feel restricted or controlled by external forces but know that you have the power within yourself to do something about it. You’re feeling overwhelmed with responsibilities or life events but find a way out through creativity. You’re feeling too much pressure in your family relationships and need some space from those people. You want to avoid mass-culture or conform; instead, you want to be yourself more than ever before.
In dreams, dreadlocks signify that one’s head is being restrained by the hair without them knowing it. With this symbolic state of mind, the dreamer is not able to think or act freely. This can represent an uncomfortable feeling of self-restriction in daily life.
