Interpretation 2 — Dr. Mıchael Lennox

A helmet is something that provides protection. Since it connects with the head, the symbolic meaning relates primarily to thoughts and ideas.

If the helmet in your dream is connected to a particular kind of activity, such as a sport, there may be a desire to have more joy in your life as long as risk can be averted. Your interpretation should include considering whether the presence of the helmet is necessary or is coming from fear and an unwillingness to be vulnerable in the expression of new ideas.

Interpretation 3 — Pamela Ball

1- In dreams, it will depend on whether the helmet is being worn by someone else or by the dreamer.

If the former, it may have the same symbolism as the mask (see Mask) in that it prevents the wearer being seen.

If the latter, then it is a symbol of protection and preservation.

2- In olden times, the helmet was the attribute of the warrior or hero. Even today as with the motorcycle helmet it is still largely a representation of the masculine.

3- Protection by the Spiritual Self.

Interpretation 4 — Versatile - Anonymous

Gives gender-specific: In a man’s dream the helmet will represent his own virility. In a woman’s dream it will symbolize her attitude to the masculine.

The type of helmet will be relevant, since there are now cycle and sports helmets – among others – which do not cover the face, but do protect the head, the seat of the intellect.

Interpretation 8 — Martha Clarke

The helmet is the part of the armor that soldiers used to protect the face. To dream of this element, therefore, is related to our desire to hide ourselves to feel protected. You probably want to pass unnoticed before others, be it due to humility or due to repression. (See ARMOR and MASK)
