Psychology
Beards speak of dignity, maturity and a wish to appear strong. Jung's Wise Old Man archetype is often pictured with a long white beard, so a bearded figure may show a longing for guidance. For a woman, growing a beard may express suppressed assertiveness.
Folklore and history
In the Meiji era, Japanese statesmen and officers grew grand moustaches and beards after Western fashion, making them symbols of modern authority. Sages and old men in folk art are usually white-bearded, and dream lore reads a full beard as rising status.

This site's view
In this site's view, ask whether you shaved it or let it grow. Shaving it off means wanting to set down titles and bravado; a beard that will not stop growing shows the fear of losing your true face behind your dignity.
Going deeper: our reading
For many, shaving at the bathroom sink each morning is a small ritual for switching into today's self. Skipping it on a day off can make you feel slightly off duty, released from your title. Some remember the prickle of a father's or grandfather's stubble against their cheek as a child. In this site's reading, whose beard it was colours the dream. A father's or grandfather's beard suggests the safety of being protected by them, or a wish to become someone others rely on. Your own beard suddenly turning white may show unease about ageing alongside readiness to accept it. Being embarrassed when someone pointed out a missed patch reflects tension at being watched down to the details. This is our speculation, but people who play their roles without rest may dream of endlessly tending a beard, mirroring days with no chance to relax.
