This interpretation is from ""The Dream Interpretation Dictionary: Symbols, Signs, and Meanings" and is provided by J.M. DeBord aka "RadOwl". He is the author of several acclaimed books about dreaming, the host of The Dreams That Shape Us podcast, and is a moderator of r/Dreams, one of the largest dream sharing communities on the internet. To interpret the meaning of a hero in a dream, or of playing a heroic role, begin by thinking about the classic traits of the hero: courage, prowess, morality, faith, skill, conviction. Everyday life can be filled with moments when we draw on those qualities and others associated with heroism. Dreaming about a hero can come in response to playing a role of hero, even in seemingly small or everyday ways. For example, maybe your young children see you as a hero, or you come to the rescue of a friend or family member. Portraying you as a hero is exaggerated but ultimately true. If it’s hard to see yourself that way, a dream might project it onto a character. Most of us have people we model ourselves after or admire. Sometimes these people are directly involved in our lives, such as parents, teachers, coaches, and pastors. We can view them as heroes and dream about them in that role, but keep in mind that maybe you are the hero now. Most dream characters reflect aspects of yourself, after all. When you dream about someone who is a personal hero to you, you might be seeing yourself in that person. Along a similar vein, you might have heroes you admire from afar, such as sports stars and celebrities. When one of them is dreamed about, it’s often because you see something about the person in yourself, or aspire to be more like him. Our inspirations to become the best we can be often begin with seeing someone else do it, often someone who has successfully faced the same challenges we face. A common type of dreams involves meeting and hanging out with your heroes, and generally these dreams are a good sign that you are absorbing something from their example. It’s a way for something deep inside you to say “Hey, keep up the good work.” Remember that dreams can bring balance to the psyche and produce images that are the opposite of your conscious attitude or self-perception. An image of a hero in your dreams might be showing you untapped potential, or compensating for your feeling unheroic or cowardly. See: Compensation, Cowards The opposite of the hero is the bully and coward, and related behaviors, attitudes, and feelings are actually immature attempts to be a hero. Dreams can respond to your fantasies, and dreaming about being a hero can reflect your fantasy life. This is especially true for teenagers, because it’s quite common for them to imagine themselves as heroes. It’s healthy because doing so plants ideas in their minds and connects them with the hero inside of them—the hero in all of us. For females, a hero can symbolize their animus. In the early stages of this archetype, animus is presented as a man of action who appears when needed and saves the day. He’s a sort of knight in shining armor. See: Animuses The hero is an archetype, the Hero, with generally the same meaning across all cultures. As a universal part of the psyche, the Hero archetype is a blueprint to follow, a set of traits, qualities, and characteristics for accomplishing the heroic task of becoming a fully developed and matured person and tackling the challenges of life. Just look at how it all starts: first a helpless infant, then childhood, then puberty and the teen years, and figuring out what you’re going to do as an adult. Get through school, start a career and a family. It takes a hero in you to courageously march forward in life. Then, when you consider the adversity almost everyone faces along the way, you see why we all need to be heroes. It often begins by playing the hero in your dreams.
