As spiritual leaders, pastors and related characters such as priests, rabbis, imams, and ministers can be used in dreams in connection with spirituality, religion, faith, and belief. But don’t stop there, because pastors are also associated with clean living and helping the less fortunate, for example, and dreams have many ways of telling stories using your personal associations and common ones. For example, pastors are people to turn to when advice is needed, someone to talk to who can help see the good in people and ourselves. In that role, a pastor-character is a mask that a dream puts on an aspect of yourself, that delivers answers or gives advice. Even if you dream about a pastor you know, it’s still likely to connect with an internal issue—something about your thoughts, feelings and perceptions. The pastor is a mask for what that person means to you. A dream can help you to digest an interaction with that person or lesson he or she taught you, such as in a sermon. Anything new to integrate into yourself is likely to be dreamed about with some reference given to the source, because a primary function of dreams is to help integrate things into your personality. So the pastor represents something about the person’s influence on you. A bad pastor in a dream can symbolize something about yourself that resists a call to clean living or self-sacrifice, is hypocritical, or is basically the opposite of what you expect from a good pastor. It’s not to say that you are like a bad pastor—although it’s possible—just that the idea fits the dream-story. A pastor can symbolize your ability to delve into spiritual life and see into the spiritual world, your ability to minister to others and bring into the world the goodness of spiritual teachings. You are the medium through which the message is delivered, in word and example. Related subjects can be referred to obliquely, such as in a dream a man has about being told that the pope is coming to his friend Christian’s house and he’s responsible for making preparations, terrifying the man. The dream is about the man’s fear of dying without being ready to go. The pope and the friend Christian are both references to Christianity, and preparing for the pope symbolizes being in the right place before the man dies. He’s an atheist who, deep inside, fears the consequences of being wrong about the existence of God. See also: Afterlife, Altars, Churches, Heaven, Hell, Temples
