Beard

Beards, Mustache, Growing a beard

Growing a beard takes time, and it changes a face more than almost any haircut, which is why dreams link it with maturity, wisdom and identity. A full, well-kept beard shows confidence, experience and a wish to be taken seriously. Letting one grow can mean you're becoming more patient or settling into who you are. Shaving a beard off is about change, a fresh start or showing more of yourself. A long white beard grows slowly, so it often points to patience and things that take years to ripen.
