The belt indicates the place where love and beauty (and the fascination with it) reside.
The belt (waist), as a physical expression of the connection between the conscious and unconscious, asks us to decide if we want to walk the path of physical urges and drives or the path of the spiritual. Ideally, both paths lead to harmony and balance between body and soul. This image also asks how we deal with sensuousness and the pleasures of life.
The image, however, usually appears when we feel restricted and bothered by something.
If that were not the case, our unconscious would see no reason to produce such an image.
For that reason, the belt usually points to restrictions imposed by the spouse (often the wife).
The belt is a symbol of power, strength, and the influence of the woman (as in the Nibelungen Ring—the belt of Kriemhilde—or the belt of the Queen of the Amazons in Greek mythology). In today’s terms, the belt is clearly a sign of repressed emotions, particularly sexual repression, for men as well as for women.
If the belt appears in the dream of a woman, it is usually a symbol of virtue and purity; in the dream of a man, it is energy and fertility.
[1](Cincture, Cummerbund, Fastening, Sash, Waist belt) In a dream, a belt depicts the carrier of burdens. It also implies travels, money, savings or stinginess. It also could mean serious endeavors and assiduity in seeking knowledge.
A belt or a waistband in a dream could represent one’s wife or his property.
If a woman sees herself wearing a waistband, then it represents her brother, brother in-law, or father in-law.
If she is pregnant, it means that she will beget a daughter.
If a man sees himself wearing a waistband in a dream, it represents a woman in his family to whom it is unlawful for him to marry.
A broken belt in a dream means a fight with one’s wife. Ifone’s waistband becomes a snake in the dream, it means enmity with his brother in-law. Ifhis waistband is drenched in blood in the dream, it means that he may get killed because of his wife, or that he may conspire to kill his wife. Wearing a belt in a dream also represents bundles ofmoney one carries, or an unanticipated misfortune he may attract. Buying a new belt in a dream means protecting one’s property, money or knowledge.
