The head often symbolize intellect, the rational process as opposed to intuitive thought. Growing a second head, especially out of the right side may indicate you are thinking too much and not letting your instincts operate as they should.

Seeing a head in your dream means wisdom, intellect, understanding and rationality. It may also represent your accomplishments, self-image, and perception of the world. Dreaming that someone is trying to rip your head off, suggests that you are not see a situation or problem clearly. Perhaps you are refusing to see the truth. You have to confront the situation or the person despite the pain and discomfort you might feel in doing so.

{1} A head may be a symbol of intellect: rational as distinct from intuitive thought {see Personality Types}.

{2} It may symbolize the conscious ego as distinct from the unconscious {which might be represented by the abdomen or solar plexus}.

{3} It may be a symbol of masculinity.

{4} A monstrous, horrifying head probably represents negative - because repressed - drives or processes in your unconscious. Try to follow Perseus" example. The Gorgons" eyes turned to stone anyone they looked at; but when Perseus succeeded in cutting off Medusa's head, the winged horse Pegasus sprang from her body. This may be seen as symbolizing the psychic or spiritual development that results from facing up to whatever is fearsome in one's unconscious.

{5} A two-headed creature may symbolize either duality, antagonistic opposites in your psyche or the {needed} union, or bringing together, of opposing psychic qualities/functions/forces - for example, masculine and feminine; conscious and unconscious.

Flowing from the head (intellect); stimulation for new growth.

A beheading {being headless or having your head cut off} may symbolize punishment, punishing ourselves, unconsciously, as a result of guilt feelings or emotions. The dream may be showing you a negative pattern in your life that needs to be death with. It could also symbolize a need to get free of a too dominating head-you rely too much on your intellect and neglect your instincts

The highest room in the house {you} where all types of things are stored {past experiences, emotions, attitudes}, most likely to do with eccentric self. They may be repressed or just stored until something wakens them. The thinking mind {as opposed to intuitive and instincts}. The human head.

Your intellectual abilities, perhaps relying too much on intellectual thinking and too little on intuitive feelings. Your problem solving abilities, or lack of. Being an organ of the body, it may symbolize an aspect that is thought to be the highest self but in reality is subordinate to the heart chakra. Too much thinking and not enough giving.

If the child in your dream is you as a child, the significance of the dream may have to do with a childhood experience.

The child may be a symbol of your true self, That which is essentially you and which you are capable of unfolding. The fact that your real self is represented by a child suggests that your true self is a a beautiful unspoilt product of Nature; that is worthy of unreserved love; and that it needs the nourishment of your love if it is to grow.

The child may represent the transcendent nature of the self; it is much more than just your conscious ego or your present image of yourself; it holds together the opposites that are within you, "head" and "heart", extroversion and introversion, masculine and feminine.

The child may represent a new beginning, a new development in your psyche - a new attitude to life, a new set of values, a new reconciliation of previously conflicting forces.

There is in all of us a child - our emotional self - that often needs reassurance, to be told that all is well and there is no cause for fear, or anger, or guilt, and that love makes all things good and dissolves all pain. At the same time the child sometimes needs to be chided and corrected if it is eventually to - as it should - grow up.

Unconscious contents that can grow to be consciously nutritious. Not very intelligent {potato head}.

May symbolize those fearsome qualities within the unconscious. A grotesque product of the imagination, it may represent an inability to sort out your thought or emotions.

Perhaps it symbolizes some part of you that needs to be expressed. Soreness or tension in the throat may indicate conflict between head and heart, intellect and emotion or instinct, or between the conscious mind and the unconscious also see neck
