I've officially started the countdown to my 40th birthday: 8 days. I haven't spent too much time consciously thinking about this typically dreaded birthday, however, last night I had a dream that is making me feel as though I must be trying to deal with it on a subconscious level.
I can't recall all the specifics of the dream, but I do remember being with a group of people I knew and was getting prepared to go for a run with them, a sort of group activity. While I was gathering my hair to put it into a pony tail, a large clump, pretty much my whole pony tail, fell out into my hand. In my dream, I was alarmed by it, but then threw the mass of hair off to the side and began running.
Anytime anything weird like that occurs in my dreams, I like to Google possible meanings and below is what I found about both loosing hair in clumps and running.
Powerlessness if losing hair – The loss of hair mostly shows the lack of strength in the dreamer’s life. It could also show the fear of becoming older and unattractive. The hair is one of the most important part of the beauty, especially to women, where it looks playful, innocent and feminine.
To dream of running in company with others, is a sign that you will participate in some festivity, and you will find that your affairs are growing towards fortune.
I'm clearly afraid of getting older but at the same time, looking forward to celebrating my birthday, right?
Carl Jung, I think you were on to something.
