Wig

Interpretation

Wigs allow transformation and concealment. Dreaming of wearing one can mean experimentation with roles or fear of exposure. Seeing someone else in a wig might reveal suspicion or admiration for their adaptability. A wig falling off points to truth emerging despite carefully crafted images.

Use the dream to examine how you present yourself and what feels authentic or performative.

Common Meanings

• Confidently wearing a wig: Empowered reinvention; celebrate chosen expression
• Itching under the cap: Discomfort; adjust boundaries or seek authenticity
• Discovering deception: Clarify expectations; prioritize honesty even if vulnerability rises

Cultural Context

Wigs hold diverse meanings—from protective styling in Black communities to ceremonial headdresses and theatrical props. They also intersect with disability justice for those experiencing hair loss. Acknowledge cultural significance and avoid shaming protective choices.
