What does it mean to dream of beheading? Is it good to dream of beheading? Dreams of beheading have realistic impacts and reactions, as well as the dreamer's subjective imagination. Please refer to the detailed explanation of dreaming of beheading organized by the official Zhougong Dream Interpretation website below.

　　Dreaming of someone else being beheaded indicates that you will encounter significant resistance.

　　However, if you dream of your head growing back after being beheaded, it means you will experience a new lease on life.

　　A dream involving beheading indicates heavy concerns in your mind, signifying effort and resistance.

　　Dreaming that you are being beheaded suggests that what you are doing requires greater effort, or else it may fail.

　　Dreaming of beheading indicates punishment.

　　Therefore, it might be telling you that a certain negative pattern in your life should be improved.

　　It signifies a need for freedom from overly strong rationality. Hence, more room should be given to intuition.

　　For those who are bookish and overly rational with a lack of emotional coloration, dreaming of being beheaded is something to be celebrated.

　　After being beheaded, you will notice that you not only possess a head and thoughts but also a heart, emotions, a body, instincts, and intuition. You will become a more complete and well-rounded person.

　　In dreams, such people often feel relaxed and happy when beheaded.

　　For example, a lady dreamed of people lining up to be beheaded. Her head was also cut off, but she did not die and felt very good.

　　We can infer that this is probably an overly rational woman.

　　The "head" is the source of human thought and the rational center. Therefore, "decapitation" means abandoning rational thinking.

　　Beheading also has another meaning, symbolizing castration.

　　If a man dreams of his head being cut off, especially if it is a bald head, it often has this meaning. This kind of dream makes one very anxious.

　　Ms. S dreamed: "In a long queue of people, I followed the line and moved slowly. Because the progress was very slow, I had plenty of time to look around. I discovered that the line was full of young women, including some people I knew.

　　The queue kept moving forward, but I didn't know what the group of people was silently walking towards. Then I craned my neck and saw a guillotine ahead.

　　Each woman who reached the guillotine was beheaded. However, the headless women walked away nonchalantly.

　　I didn't find this scene scary at all, so I continued to stay in the queue and moved slowly with it. I thought, when it's my turn, I will also willingly have my head chopped off… A psychologist analyzed this: Willingly going to the guillotine is a form of dark humor that exists only in dreams. For Ms. S, who is a strong woman, this was quite unfamiliar.

　　Ms. S graduated from a top domestic university with outstanding grades and later earned a Ph.D. from an internationally renowned university. After returning home, she was recruited as a professional supervisor by a large company. She is married and has no children yet, although she has always wanted one or two children, but she is currently using contraception.

　　Her relationship with her husband is generally good, but not intimate. Her relationships with colleagues are good, but not close.

　　In fact, due to her high level of knowledge and her role as a supervisor, she tends to view herself highly. Her subordinates are also cautious around her temper. She often scolds others, including her husband, who also keeps a respectful distance from her.

　　Despite having an enviable life, she often feels empty. She wants to change, but despite her meticulous thinking, she can't come up with a satisfactory plan.

　　And in her sleep, in a moment of relaxed consciousness, her subconscious revealed a guillotine.

　　The "head" is the source of human thought and the rational center. Therefore, "decapitation" means abandoning rational thinking. Ms. S saw many women being beheaded in her dream without feeling afraid and was even mentally prepared to willingly go to the guillotine.

　　This might be because Ms. S's subconscious has realized that while "rational thinking" made her an outstanding strong woman, it also prevented her from having intimate relationships, and her emptiness and dissatisfaction stemmed from her alienation from others.

　　In reality, decapitation means death. Ms. S was not afraid of decapitation in her dream, perhaps because she realized that the end of one form of life would be the creation of another, and she had to go through a "death" to achieve rebirth. Indeed, Ms. S accepted her inner self's advice. After considerable effort, she not only became more amiable but also became the mother of two children!

　　The psychologist's analysis that "in reality, decapitation means death…" was not very good because "decapitation means death" is the logic of a waking person, not the logic of a dream. In the logic of dreams, decapitation does not mean death, "the headless women walked away nonchalantly." Therefore, "death" has nothing to do with this dream. The analysis that decapitation represents the elimination of "rational thinking" is very appropriate.
