Complete Dictionary of Dreams

by Dr. Mıchael Lennox
A helmet is something that provides protection. Since it connects with the head, the symbolic meaning relates primarily to thoughts and ideas.

If the helmet in your dream is connected to a particular kind of activity, such as a sport, there may be a desire to have more joy in your life as long as risk can be averted. Your interpretation should include considering whether the presence of the helmet is necessary or is coming from fear and an unwillingness to be vulnerable in the expression of new ideas.

1- In dreams, it will depend on whether the helmet is being worn by someone else or by the dreamer.

If the former, it may have the same symbolism as the mask (see Mask) in that it prevents the wearer being seen.

If the latter, then it is a symbol of protection and preservation.

2- In olden times, the helmet was the attribute of the warrior or hero. Even today as with the motorcycle helmet it is still largely a representation of the masculine.

3- Protection by the Spiritual Self.
