Dream Dictionary
 
 Definition: Dreaming that you have a mustache when you don't actually have one means that you are hiding an aspect of yourself. You are putting on a disguise or showing a different aspect of your personality. Dreaming that you shave off your mustache indicates that you are revealing your true self. You no longer have to hide under some disguise or some shield. Alternatively, you will try to attempt to reinstate yourself to a position of honor and status and abandon your associations will illicit pleasures and evil companions. If you are a woman and dream that you have a mustache indicates that you are expressing your power through your words and your verbal expression.
