Bald

Baldness in a dream often touches exposure and the loss of what once covered or adorned us. To see a bald-headed man can mark sharp dealers angling against our interest, asking to be outwitted. The dream tends to ask where we feel stripped or unprotected, and who might be moving against us in the open.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for bald, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
