Plait dream meaning is explained below using 7 different sources. Each interpretation is shown with its source.

Interpretation 1 — Pamela Ball

1- In olden times, a plait using three strands indicated the interweaving of body, mind and spirit. It also represented the influences which were assimilated by a growing girl and taken into her understanding of herself as a woman. In dreams it therefore represents womanhood. In the present day, as men become more sensitive, the more creative will often plait longer hair.

2- Plaited hair was formerly a means of creating order and cleanliness. Often in dreams to see a plait reminds us of the talisman or favour belonging to his lady which a knight of old would carry into battle. Nowadays it is more of a lucky charm.

To be plaiting string, rope, hair etc. highlights our ability to weave the different influences of our, or someone else’s, life into a coherent whole.

3- Very subtle influences come into play when we begin to develop spiritually. Hair plaited into the shape of a crown - or wound round the head indicates spiritual attainment.
