In simplest terms, a principal is an authority figure and can symbolize authority structures. School is generally the first authority structure that a child encounters outside the home, and it makes a lasting impression. A principal is generally someone you see when caught misbehaving or breaking the rules; the principal is the person who dishes out consequences. Therefore, a principal can symbolize consequences of misbehavior, and the dream character represents a specific person you don’t want to encounter, or sums up in one image fear of getting caught or punished. This use of the symbolism is often shown through actions of running from, hiding from, or defying a principal. If the principal in your dream is a familiar person from your life, consider associations based on what you know about the person and the time of life when the person was an active part of your life. A principal can symbolize a strong authority—he or she is the highest authority in a school. See: Presidents A principal can symbolize someone admired for leadership or concern for children. A principal can symbolize the part of yourself that governs anything in life related to learning and academics. A principal can be a reference to childhood and school days. See: Schools Another definition of principal means “chief” or “central person,” and dreams can branch out from there to mean “chief concern” or “central idea.” It can refer to a principle, meaning “a fundamental truth.” Dreams play with words and create symbolism through comparison and substitution.
