Seeing “cutting person head”
in your dream

• Hanging upside-down in front of a crowd: The dreamer has done something wrong, feels sorry about it, and is repenting, but will live long, in view of a verse in the Holy Quran: “He whom We bring unto old age, We reverse him in creation 
(making him go back to weakness after strength). Have ye then no sense?”  (“Ya-Sin,” verse 68.)

• One’s head being reversed:  (1) If planning a trip, there will be a hindrance, but the trip will take place at a later time. 
(2) If already abroad, will return to the homeland but a bit late, unintentionally.

• A cold sore and pain in the head or neck: An epidemic will strike the people.

• Seeing oneself with a dog head, a donkey head, a horse head, or the head of any domestic animal: Will suffer from vexation, trouble, fatigue, and servitude.

• Seeing oneself with the head of an elephant, a lion, a tiger, or a wolf: The dreamer is handling matters beyond his capacity or surpassing himself, but not without success, and he will rise to the top and subdue his enemies.

Pounding one's head, or smiting one's forehead, or shaking one's head in a dream means begetting a son at an advanced age.

(Arrogance; Deception; Defeat; Death; Giant; Mocking; Slingshot) Goliath's head in a dream represents a perfidious man who entices people to engage in treachery, deception and falsehood. If one sees himself nicknamed as Goliath's head in a dream, it means that he will be accused of treachery, deceiving others or defaming them, though he maybe innocent of such allegations.

If a person sees himself shaving the head in any month other than the Months of Hajj or the Sacred Months, either his capital will be lost or that of his employer's; or he will lose his job. If seen during the months of Hajj, it could only mean something good coming his way; perhaps he will proceed for Hajj.

Shacking one's head in a dream means begetting a son at an old age.

If a woman sees her head shaved in a dream, it means her divorce, or the death of her husband.

To see one's head detached from the body without being struck suggest one of the following : that one's leader or patron will break off his relationship with him; or the observer will lose his capital; or his present means of livelihood will come to an end.

Jabir reported that a'person came to Prophet Muhammad (Sallallaahu-Alayhi-wasallam) and said:
Prophet Muhammad, I have seen in the state of sleep as if my head had been cut off. Thereupon Prophet Muhammad (Sallallaahu-Alayhi-wasallam) laughed and said: When the satan plays with any one of you in the state of steep, do not mention it to the people; and in the hadith transmitted by Abu Bakr (the words are):" If one of you is played with, and he did not make any mention of the word:" Satan." (Muslim)

(Headdress; Scarf) If a religious Muslim woman sees herself without a head cover or Hijab in a dream, it means that her husband has left her with the intention not to return to her again. If she is not married, it means that she may never marry.

Dreaming of oneself as having shaved one's head during the month of Hajj is a glad tiding that one will proceed for Hajj. But if such a dream is seen during any other month besides Hajj it means that his capital (in monetary terms) will become exhausted. (This will be discussed in greater detail in this book).

Jabir reported Allah's Messenger (Sallallaahu-Alayhi-wasallam) as saying:
There came to him (the Holy Prophet) a desert Arab and said: I saw in a dream that I had been beheaded and I had been following it (the severed head). Allah's Apostle (Sallallaahu-Alayhi-wasallam) reprimanded him saying: Do not inform about the vain sporting of devil with you during the night. (Muslim)

Jabir reported that there came to Allah's Apostle (Sallallaahu-Alayhi-wasallam) a desert Arab and said:
Allah's Messenger, I saw in the state of sleep as if my head had been cut off and I had been moving on haltingly after it. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (?) said to that desert Arab: Do not narrate to the people the vain sporting of satan with you in your sleep and (the narrator) also said: I heard Allah's Messenger (?) in his subsequent address: None amongst you should narrate the vain sporting of devil with him in the dream. (Muslim)

(See Handkerchief)

(See Hair; Nit)

Hair symbolises a man's wealth and assets or that of his employer's.

If a grief-Stricken, hard-pressed, poverty-stricken person sees Prophet Muhammad (Sallallaahu-Alayhi-wasallam) in his dream then his afflictions and anxieties will soon come to an end.

• A highwayman stealing something from the dreamer: The person seen in the role of the highwayman will lie and contradict the dreamer.

• Seeing oneself as a highwayman or stealing someone’s belongings: The dreamer will be severely ill, then recover.

• A gang surging from nowhere to manhandle the dreamer: The dreamer will triumph over enemies in view of a verse of the Holy Quran that reads: “That 
(is so). And if one has retaliated to no greater extent than the injury he received, and is again set upon inordinately, God will help him; for God is the One That blots out 
(sins) and forgives  (again and again).”  (“Al-Hajj” [The Pilgrimage], verse 60.)

The highwayman symbolizes the evil person who easily gets angry or loses his temper. Contradictory interpretations are not uncommon.

• A highwayman taking the dreamer’s belongings: Tragedy for the dreamer or some of his folk.

• Being robbed of one’s purse and other belongings by such a bandit: The dreamer will come across a man who will support and benefit him inasmuch as was taken from him in the dream.

• Someone intercepting the dreamer and seizing his belongings: The dreamer will make life tough for the one seen in the role of the highwayman and stop dealing with and stand against him in a matter that will harm him.

• Highwaymen ganging up without being able to take away anything from the dreamer: The dreamer will get so ill as to be nearly dead, then recover and become healthy.

This is a glad tiding that the one who eats this will be blessed with a long life and plentiful of wealth. And the head of a human being is regarded as better and more excellent.

A wife's head-cloth (ie. Hijab, Odhni, scarf etc.). izaar, or burqa represents her husband. Any excellence or defect seen in any of the above is a reflection of a similar excellence or defect in her husband.
