Priest

Pastor, Minister, Clergy

A priest, pastor, rabbi or imam in a dream is often a figure of guidance and conscience. This person can stand for wisdom, moral questions or the wish for someone to tell you you're on the right path. Talking with a member of the clergy may point to something you've been carrying alone and would like to share. Receiving a blessing can show you'd like someone to confirm a choice. If the priest seemed stern, you may be judging yourself more harshly than anyone else would.
