An interpretation of intruder dreams
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. The symbolism of an intruder can be found in the root word, intrude. When you feel intruded on, you can dream about an intruder breaking into your home or barging into a private situation such as while you’re using the bathroom or taking a shower. Many situations in life can be symbolized this way. For example, hosting a house guest can intrude on your regular routine. Or missionaries show up at your front door uninvited. Dreams turn such situations into symbolism. Dreams use comparisons to create symbolism, so an intruder can compare with something that makes you unsettled or uncomfortable. For example, you can be unsettled by rumors at work that layoffs are coming. You can be uncomfortable with a person who is too forward or demanding. You can feel intruded on when someone asks you personal questions or pries into your private life, such as during a physical exam. Unwanted thoughts and feelings, or something that interferes with your concentration, can be intrusive. Thoughts that keep you awake at night are intrusive. Bad memories can be intrusive. An intruder can symbolize an unknown, repressed, or rejected part of yourself trying to get your attention. It wants to be consciously recognized and integrated into the personality. It’s like a family pet left out of the fun. Everyone is inside the house, warm and together, while the dog is outside in the cold. If the situation prolongs, what is the dog likely to do? Whimper, cry, bark, act out. When a part of yourself is left out, it will find a way of getting noticed and making its presence felt. To the ego, this is an intrusion because it is unwanted.
