A king is the ruler or final authority, someone with power. The trick to figuring out what a king character means in a dream is to decide whether it represents something about you, about someone you know, or about a situation, and match that with the role the king plays in the dream-story and your associations. When connected with you, a king can symbolize the ability to rule over your own life, to make decisions, and create your own little kingdom. Everyone has an inner “King” or “Queen” involved in leadership and vision for life. In dreams it can be depicted in a form other than a king, such as a president, CEO, or famous person who embodies the qualities and characteristics of a king. When connected with someone you know, a king can symbolize a father, boss, or husband. It is a characterization of a person’s status, authority, or style. For example, if your father rules the house like a king, he can be presented that way in a dream. The king won’t necessarily look like your father, but some detail will connect the two together. For example, the king in your dream sits at your father’s desk. A king in a man’s dream can characterize a role he plays in life, such as head of the family or owner of a business. He is a king to his wife and children, or to his siblings, friends, and neighbors. Strip away the pretensions and what is a king? An authority, a leader. When connected with a situation, the symbolism of a king can stretch to create more possibilities for symbolism. At its simplest, to rule means to be on top, to have the power to make decisions. Thoughts can rule your mind. Ideas can compete for supremacy. For example, choosing a new king from among candidates can symbolize choosing among competing ideas. Only one will come out on top. The symbolism of a king can derive from associations with the stereotypical image of a king, such as strength, ambition, and wisdom. The image of a good father and husband is a reflection of what makes a good king. On the other hand, some kings are arrogant, demanding, and indulgent. How does the king in your dream act? A king is someone you want to please. Someone who inspires. Someone very important. Remember that in dreams, you can substitute some-thing for some-one. So, for instance, a crown can symbolize authority or an authority figure. The figure doesn’t have to be present in the dream. See: Hugeness A king is the highest authority, and that idea can branch out in many directions. Because the king is a character, it’s tempting to assume it represents a person, including you, perhaps, but a king is a set of ideas, traits, and qualities that can be embodied by a person, or by something impersonal. For example, if you live by a code, such as a code of honor or ethics, or a spiritual code, it’s the highest authority in your life. A king can symbolize the highest figure in a spiritual or religious tradition. And just because a king is a masculine figure doesn’t mean a woman can’t play the role. It can characterize her style of leadership or personality. Also, a king can represent her animus, the male face of her unconscious mind. See: Animuses Males have the King archetype deep in the psyche that can play the role of king in your dreams. It shapes energy related to ruling your life, having a vision, and marshaling resources in pursuit of it. The female equivalent is the Queen archetype.
