Seeing a Hat

Seeing a hat in a dream is treated as a positive sign by most interpreters. A new hat points to a new job, while a fabric hat stands for honor and reputation. An old, dirty hat, on the other hand, suggests poverty and a loss of standing. The brim of the hat represents caution and safety, and wearing a hat in general is tied to abundance and good fortune.

Buying a hat suggests that someone's help will make things easier for you and boost your earnings. Wearing a hat is read as news of a move or a job change — and this change is said to work out in your favor. Losing a hat, though, points to trouble at work.

Wearing a new, attractive hat is linked to a new position or a new romance, while an old, torn hat signals distress and sorrow. One interesting detail: if a boy or girl places a hat on your head in the dream, it means you'll marry that person. Buying a hat brings good news, tearing a hat suggests a family quarrel, burning a torn hat points to divorce, and selling a hat is read as bad news.

The type of hat matters too — a straw sun hat means relief from hardship, a fedora brings ease, and a fabric hat represents distress and grief. A hat can also symbolize one's father in a dream; depending on the context it can point to a rise in rank, marriage, a long journey, government work or military service, or, on the darker side, losing a job and falling into poverty.

An official uniform hat represents power, authority, honor and prestige, while an overly decorated or odd-looking hat suggests a fondness for foreign things and a frivolous, unserious character. Broadly speaking, seeing a hat means leaving your current job for a better, more fulfilling one. If a widow has this dream, it's read as a sign of remarriage; if your hat falls off in the dream, it points to receiving sad news.

Color plays a role as well: a black hat means growing respect, a red hat suggests getting caught up in a violent fight, and a yellow hat points to illness.
