Dreams about woman are common, but symbolically very powerful. Women in our dreams represent our unconscious feminine energy, love, wisdom, grounding, and rebirth.
Sometimes the women you see in dreams are holding a baby, giving birth, kissing you, or sometimes crying. You might wonder if these dreams have deeper meaning or are just glimmers of your subconscious imagination. Whether you’re dreaming of a woman you know or not, she is showing up in your dreams for a reason.
You may also dream about qualities you admire in women, such as grace, strength or beauty, which you want to embody. This desire could be represented by dreams about beautiful women, while dreams about wise old women may represent intuition.
Who is the woman in your dreams?
Dreaming of women may represent your own sense of mystery. If you dream of mysterious women, it could be a sign that you are ready to uncover the darkest corners of your own personality. Do you need to discover hidden truths within yourself?
Our minds don’t often invent new faces out of the blue. Think about all the hundreds of thousands of different faces you have seen throughout your lives. Your dream about a woman may present her as any past person you’ve met or even seen in a photo.
These memories manifest in various forms like an old lady with white hair, married, or a random beautiful woman.
Women in dreams often represent the arrival of something important, like a romantic partner or a confidante. Women could also be a symbol of something you are missing, such as love or stability.
Did you marry a woman in your dreams?
To dream of marrying a woman is a very positive symbol suggesting a new unification in your life. This could be a metaphor for things in your life that are joining together.
The woman you are marrying suggests you are seeking feminine or YIN ENERGY for inner balance. Do you need this balance to feel complete?
However, it is not uncommon for dreams to give you a sneak peak into the future. Precognitive dreams allow the dreamer to see what might be in store for them down the road. Could this be your possible soul mate?

Dreaming about and Old Woman
The old woman that emerged in your dream represents the wise feminine energy that belongs to the dreamer. She is known to show love and guide the dreamer along their life journey.
Similar to a wise old man, a grey-haired woman in your dreams brings guidance and wisdom from her many years of experience. The Wise Old Woman is a well-known character in myths and fairy tales from many different cultures.
She may also represent neglected or repressed parts of yourself that you need to bring into awareness for healing and growth. If your old woman dream was menacing or scary, you need to pay attention to your inner guidance and intuition.
If the old woman in your dream was kind and helpful, she is a sign that you should trust your inner wisdom. Paying attention to what she says will help you to find solutions to the challenges you are facing. Alternatively, a silent old woman indicates that you are currently overlooking valuable life lessons.
Dreaming of a Beautiful Woman
For women to see an attractive or a pretty women in their dreams might be connected with their self-image or desires to have similar attributes. Did the woman have qualities you wish you could have?
Alternatively, dreams about women with bad qualities may alert you to those qualities in yourself. Maybe you need to temper them or at least reevaluate how you interact with others.
The old saying “the woman of your dreams,” exists for good reason. Aside from hoping for a woman with certain qualities, you may actually be dreaming about her, too! It’s possible you see this woman in your dream being the right partner for you in your life.
A man who dreams of a beautiful woman might be connected with his anima, or perhaps what Freud suggested was a wishful fulfillment dream.
Jungian Anima Archetype
According to analytical psychologist Carl Jung understood the woman in your dreams belongs to his ANIMA. The anima is a feminine image in the male psyche, and the ANIMUS is a male image in the female psyche.
The woman in your dreams holds important clues that helps you find balance. She changes depending on the attention you give this opposite energy in your life.
A man who dreams of a woman in a loving, wise, or pleasant manner suggests his inner energies are balanced and strong. Dreaming of a witches, spiders, or other negative archetypes suggests an imbalance. Remember, men still have a degree of feminine energy that serves them in everyday life.
