Garuda Interpretation: Vision: Seeing your own decapitation: either illness or shame and embarrassment.
If you are decapitating somebody else: you arc possibly the winner in a conflict or a legal argument. Watching someone you know being decapitated: you are losing a person you love. Watching a stranger being decapitated: you might either defeat an adversary or create new enemies.
See Execution, Head.
Depth Psychology: Decapitation is a sign that you are revising your present attitude about a specific event. Are you being ruled too much by your head? Maybe you should start trusting your intuition more and living accordingly!
This dream suggests that the dreamer is losing control. In a decapitation there is a dramatic and violent separation of the head from the body. Under normal circumstances the mind controls and directs the body. This dream suggests that the dreamer may be under the control of his bodily drives and may be separated from rational thoughts and feelings. Disassociation may be occurring in regard to some behavior or issue in life. However, this dream may have other meanings. This includes excessive concern about punishment and indicates that there may be severe pressure and anxiety in the dreamer’s life.
As with all dream symbols, the feeling, tone, and setting of the dream indicate which interpretation is appropriate. (See also Beheading, Guillotine).
You are “losing your head” and consciousness, and cant clearly see your present situation. Suggests you either disregard your head—the control center—or be reasonable again.
This dream suggests you feel you are losing control in your waking life.

Dreaming about being decapitated could mean that you are afraid of “losing your head,” acting dishonorably, or being thought of as a weakling in a certain situation. But often the unconscious is trying to remind the dreamer that changed attitudes and new ideas are important for emotional survival, and can give life more meaning. (See also “Head” and “Amputation.”) DECEASED PERSON Dreaming about a deceased person suggests that you are expecting or looking for advice in real life. Or, the dream could be an indication that you are recovering from an illness, or being rescued from some kind of danger. (See also “Corpse” and “Urn.”)
