Dreaming of an authority figure represents your relationship with authority figures in general. Further, an authority figure can appear in a dream as a way of showing you deeper parts of yourself, such as your own intuition, or a deep wisdom that you might not otherwise recognize. Authority figures telling you something or transmitting information in a dream represents your subconscious mind/ Higher Self transmitting information to you. In this case, the authority figure is used as vehicle for transmitting information because you are more likely to understand the message and take it to heart if it comes from someone outside of yourself, and from someone whom you respect as having some “authority” or knowledge in a particular area. Dreaming that you are authority figure suggests that you have gained some mastery in your own life. Depending on the dream it can indicate wisdom and control of your life and express the idea that you are your own best guide. Alternatively, this can also indicate feelings of being better than others, knowing more, and being above others. Look at the feelings present in the dream and the context to determine the appropriate meaning for your dream.
