While eyebrows are not explicitly referenced in the Bible, their association with the face—often a symbol of identity, favor, and divine presence—allows for symbolic interpretation. The face, as in 'the light of His countenance' (Numbers 6:25), represents God's blessing and recognition. Eyebrows, framing the eyes (the organs of perception), may symbolize discernment, vigilance, and the ability to perceive spiritual truths. Ritual shaving of hair, including eyebrows (Leviticus 14:9), is linked to purification and renewal, suggesting that changes to eyebrows in dreams could indicate a process of spiritual cleansing, humility, or transformation. Raised eyebrows might point to awe before divine mysteries, while absent or altered eyebrows could reflect a loss of spiritual identity or distance from God's favor.

In Buddhist iconography, eyebrows are often depicted with serene curves, emphasizing wisdom, compassion, and equanimity. In dreams, eyebrows may represent mindfulness—the capacity to observe thoughts and emotions without attachment. Losing or altering eyebrows could symbolize a disturbance in one's meditative practice or a lapse in equanimity. A unibrow might represent the challenge of balancing individuality with the universal nature of consciousness, or the integration of personal and collective experience. The condition of the eyebrows in dreams may reflect the dreamer's current state of inner balance and awareness.

Culturally, eyebrows carry diverse meanings across societies, often linked to beauty standards, gender norms, and social status. In some cultures, thick eyebrows are seen as signs of strength or attractiveness, while in others, grooming or altering eyebrows reflects conformity to beauty ideals. Dreaming of eyebrows may mirror societal pressures regarding appearance or identity, anxieties about fitting in, or the desire to stand out. A unibrow can symbolize uniqueness or nonconformity, while the act of drawing or losing eyebrows may reflect underlying concerns about self-presentation and social acceptance.

In Hindu tradition, facial features—including eyebrows—are integral to classical dance and iconography, where they express emotional states (rasa) and spiritual qualities. Prominent eyebrows in dreams may indicate awakening of inner power (shakti), clarity of vision (darshan), or readiness to express one's true nature. Loss or alteration of eyebrows could symbolize confusion, a break from dharma (righteousness), or disconnection from one's higher self. Drawing or shaping eyebrows may reflect the desire to influence destiny or karma, or to embody a particular spiritual or emotional state.

In Islamic dream interpretation, eyebrows are potent symbols of dignity, honor, and personal protection. Classical interpreters like Ibn Sirin note that healthy, attractive eyebrows signify elevated status, respect, and security, while sparse or missing eyebrows may warn of diminished reputation or vulnerability. Altering or drawing eyebrows in dreams can reflect concerns about authenticity and the desire to manage one's public image, which Islamic teachings caution against due to the emphasis on sincerity and naturalness. Eyebrows merging or appearing unusual may symbolize internal conflict between personal values and societal expectations, or confusion in one's spiritual or social standing.

From a psychological perspective, eyebrows are central to nonverbal communication, conveying emotions such as surprise, skepticism, or anger. Dreaming of eyebrows may highlight issues of self-expression, emotional regulation, or social anxiety. Prominent or thick eyebrows can represent confidence, assertiveness, or a desire to be noticed, while absent or altered eyebrows may signal insecurity, fear of losing one's identity, or attempts to mask true feelings. Drawing or reshaping eyebrows in dreams often points to efforts to control how one is perceived, reflecting underlying concerns about authenticity and acceptance. A unibrow may symbolize the challenge of integrating different aspects of the self or negotiating individuality within a group context.

Spiritually, eyebrows can be seen as guardians of the eyes—the 'windows to the soul.' They may symbolize intuition, spiritual discernment, and the ability to see beyond surface appearances. Changes to eyebrows in dreams might indicate shifts in spiritual awareness, the need to protect one's inner vision, or a call to greater authenticity. Drawing or altering eyebrows could represent attempts to align one's outer appearance with inner spiritual truths, or conversely, efforts to conceal one's true self from spiritual scrutiny. The state of the eyebrows may mirror the dreamer's alignment (or misalignment) between inner truth and outer expression.
