In life, we wear many proverbial hats, and likewise in dreams hats often symbolize a role you are playing in your life.

Noticing the details of the hat such as type and color, as well as what else is happening in the dream, will help provide clues as to the meaning of the dream.

Hats often signal to us to pay attention to how things currently appear. What are we showing to others? How do others appear to us?

Here are some common types of hat dreams:

Profession Hat: Whether it’s the hat of a nurse, construction worker, or firefighter, all of these “profession” type of hats can be a symbol of your need for a career change. Or, they can symbolize something to do with that profession in your life. For example, if you dream of a firefighter’s hat – is there something in your life ablaze or that might need extinguished?

Losing a hat: To lose your hat commonly symbolizes a loss in business or your financial situation. It can also symbolize losing something else of value or importance to you. If the wind blows away your hat, it signifies a change that has occurred in your life.

Taking Off a Hat: Taking off your hat in a dream can be a sign of respect towards someone or something. It can also mean uncovering something about yourself.

Top Hat: A top hat can symbolize illusions or deception (such as a magician’s hat), or it can symbolize wealth, prestige, and power.

Sports Hat: A sports hat can simply be a reminder of your favorite team, or it can symbolize your competitiveness.

Fancy Hat: A fancy hat symbolizes that you desire attention and admiration. It can also be a symbol of popularity or social status.

Many hats: To see many hats in your dream symbolizes a number of choices or confusion about what your role in life may be.

Here are some more tips for interpreting your dream about hats:

Pay Attention to Color and Size: The color and size of the hat can have a lot of weight in what the hat means in your dream. For example, if you are wearing an orange hat it may mean you are feeling friendly and outgoing, whereas a red hat may symbolize anger or embarrassment. See Color Symbolism and Meanings to find what the color of the hat means.

What are your personal associations with hats? What or who do you think of when you think of hats? For example, hats always remind me of my Dad, who always wears one. If I dreamt of the type of hat my Dad wears, I would look in the dream for other symbols in the dream to see if there was any correlation between the dream and my Dad. You may have a favorite style of hat or other personal association with hats that can give you further insight into the meaning of the dream.

What “hat” are you wearing in your waking life? We often wear many different hats and play different roles in our lives. What role are you playing in your life right now? Does the hat you dreamed about correspond?
