Spiritual Meaning:
A girdle represents spiritual wisdom, strength and power. Its appearance in dreams indicates we are progressing in the right direction, with some degree of protection. The girdle is a length of material which symbolizes time, yet, because it encircles the body, it also symbolizes completeness. It thus represents the inevitability of life and death.

Psychological / Emotional Perspective:
Like a belt, in dreams a girdle can represent an insignia of honour or of power, but perhaps of a more intuitive feminine kind. Mythologically, the magical girdle of Aphrodite had the power to influence desire.

Everyday Material Aspects:
For those who have an interest in magic and magical practices, the cingulum or witch’s girdle – in itself a magical tool – will often appear in dreams.

Gender / Specific Meanings:
In a woman’s dream the girdle may depict her sense of her own femininity, for instance when she feels bound or constricted by it. In a man’s dream it is more likely to show his understanding of his power over his own life.
