Dreaming of the Pope

pope, holy father, pontiff · mixed

The Pope stands for authority: submission if you keep your distance, honours if you speak to him.

What happens in the dream

  • You speak to the Pope: high honours are in store, the happy sign
  • You see the Pope without speaking to him: you will have to bow to someone else's will
  • The Pope looks sad or displeased: beware of a vice or a sorrow

How you felt

  • Respect mixed with fear: the dream may reflect how you relate to authority
  • Feeling small: perhaps a sense of having no say

Ask yourself

  • Whom do I feel I have to obey?
  • What would I like to say to a figure of authority?
