I often have dreams that I still have AA but so much of my hair has grown back (in the dream) that I have long thick hair again and I look "normal" On a side not I have been having several Lucid Dreams lately (Dreams where I realize I am dreaming) those are cool. Does anyone else on here have those? My Dr. recently prescribed valium for my back tension and I think it may be affecting my dreams.

It's exactly two years since I lost my hair. I don't know how long it's been for you.

During the first year of baldness, I had many dreams that my hair was suddenly back. I was always really upset when I woke up. Sometimes my hair was long, sometimes it was just short regrowth. I remember one dream where I was standing on a rooftop and feeling the wind blowing through my hair - that great sensation. I started crying in the dream because I was so happy my hair was back, then I woke up from the strong emotion of that, and started crying for real when I put my hand on my bald head.

Since I've been going out in public bald all the time for the past year, I've had very few upsetting "hair" dreams. Most of the time I'm bald in my dreams. Sometimes I'm talking to people about it. Most of the time I'm just who I am in the dream...just like in real life now.

So, it seems that for me at least, acceptance of myself as a bald woman has translated into acceptance in my dreams. I think it's normal to dream of having your hair restored...it just means you want it. I'll probably have more hair dreams, but they're not so upsetting anymore.
