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]
A beautiful and rich belt is, according to ancient oracles, a sign of good luck.
If it is jeweled it announces the birth of a child. A broken belt is a bad omen for your children’s life. [2]
Depth Psychology: The belt is a symbol of erotic needs for power and influence over other people (particularly in a man’s dream). Do you want to tie somebody to you? Or punish a person physically with a belt? [3]
A belt may also indicate that you must tighten your belt, thus curtailing expenditures.
For a woman, cinching a belt may indicate her desire to appear curvier.
A belt may also be associated with physical ab ise for a child who was frequently whipped. [4]
An ornate belt can represent a symbol of power or office (as in regimental or nurses’ belts).
2- Intellectually wc mav be ‘hide- bound’ through outdated material.
3- A belt may be an insignia of power, and can represent either the power we have, or the power we can obtain. [5]
If a belt is too tight, the constriction that results is also a symbol for limitation and feelings of restriction. [6]
If you wore or put on a belt, you wish for a change in your surroundings.
If you took off a belt in your dream, this indicates a need for more security. [7]
If the belt is tight, it represents restriction or lean times.
If the belt is loose, it represents vulnerability. Consider the feeling tone.
2. Austerity (“tighten our belts”).
3. Punishment.
4. Constriction between subconscious feelings (stomach) and conscious intellect (head) if the belt is too tight.
5. Wealth (loosening). [9]

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.
