Pope
The Pope, Pontiff, Meeting the Pope
For Catholics around the world, the Pope is the head of the Church and the successor of Saint Peter, so meeting him in a dream can feel like a rare honor. Even people outside the faith recognize the white robes and the crowds in St. Peter's Square. In dreams, the Pope can stand for the highest kind of approval, the sense that a decision has the blessing of someone you deeply respect. He also carries a long tradition handed from one generation to the next, so the dream may turn your thoughts to what you've inherited. How he treated you, warmly or from a distance, shows how close or far that approval feels.
