Biblical meaning of dreams about losing hair
The Bible does not contain any specific information about the meaning of dreams about losing hair. However, Samson’s story, in the book of Judges, reveal some very important truths.
Samson got his superhuman strength from the vow to God he took. He wasn’t strong due to his hair but because of his connection to God. Once that connection is broken, his strength wanes. The Bible is teaching us that we can do all things through Christ. This requires connection. Connection requires trust.
When we willfully break our connection with God and place our faith in things that break down over time or things that can be stolen, we are like Samson losing our hair. Remember the fact that whatever you place your faith’s focus on grows. Choose carefully. You can grow grow your problems by focusing on them or God can become bigger and stronger in your dreams as you trust him moment by moment. It’s your choice!

Thanks for joining me in my exploration of the amazing intersection between our conscious waking world and the rich expanse of our subconscious-the home of our intuition, instincts, and hidden potential.
