Hat Dream Meaning

Dreaming of a hat points to an inner search about your identity or your place in society. A hat sits on your head, right above where your thoughts live, so the dream hat shows you are thinking about your role, or about how you present yourself to people. The style of the hat and its color both change the meaning.

• Wearing a new hat

  Putting on a smart new hat fits with getting ready to take on a new role, whether a new responsibility or a new identity.

• An old or torn hat

  An old, torn or faded hat shows that a role you once had no longer feels right for you.

• Your hat blowing away or getting lost

  Dreaming that the wind carries off your hat, or that you lose it, comes from a fear of losing control or losing face, especially in front of others.

• Borrowing someone else's hat

  Part of you is curious to try out how another person's way of life or profession would feel on you.

• A dark hat

  Dark colors usually speak of authority.

• A light-colored hat

  Light colors point to an easygoing frame of mind.

Taken together, the dream hat raises a single question: how do you want to appear to the outside world?
