Entity psychology — hair

Embodied self — hair as body part maps directly to agency, health, or identity anxiety. Visibility — Wound or change on hair is seen by others or hidden under clothes. Function fear — What hair does waking (speak, walk, see) informs the dream read. Aging or loss — Decay, removal, or damage to hair often tracks mortality anxiety fairly. Boundary — Skin, edge, or joint imagery on hair marks where self meets world. Care access — Can you treat, cover, or ignore hair in the dream—agency check.

Attribute psychology — broken

Structural failure — Form cracked but life may continue. Repair window — Fix possible before stillness. Guilt of cause — Did you break it or find it so. Partial function — Still works crippled—complicated hope. Break vs shatter — Clean crack vs total loss.
