The Big Dictionary of Dreams

by Martha Clarke
Unless you tend to wear a wig in real life, to see yourself wear one in dreams indicates an alteration of your self image. Some of what you project to the exterior does not reflect your true desires, feelings, or emotions. It points to the intention to conceal, disguise, or distortion. To see someone else wearing a wig expresses a feeling of distrust toward them, or the fear that their attitude or feelings will change. For men, baldness is often the companion of a fear of impotence. A wig can be, in this case, a sign of the desire to hide a feeling of insecurity or disguise some other facet of his personality that he may be ashamed of.

There are many interpretations of this figure. A blonde wig, for example, predicts that you will have many admirers; a dark one brings loyalty; a white one, wealth; and a brunette one predicts that the person you marry will be poor.

The idea of obscuring or covering up your real self or personality (possibly due to shame, feeling inferior, or a desire to be accepted or to project a different image).

Disguise or secrecy.

An attempt to control others’ reactions to you.

A desire for fun, adventure, variety, a temporary change, or to express yourself differently than usual.

Taking a shortcut or wanting to save time somewhere in your life (since a wig is a hairstyle “shortcut”).
