Soldier Dream Meanings

Soldiers symbolize duty, obligations, and social hierarchy. They reflect a feeling of submission from which you would like to liberate yourself. Soldiers are also associated with aggressiveness and a spirit of conquest. In this sense, this dream can indicate how you impose your feelings over others in real life. On the other hand, you may be getting ready for a battle regarding some issue, or you may be needing to defend yourself against an emotional attack. You must be really careful when using your power. (See BOOTS, ARMY, ENEMY, and WAR)

For a man, this dream means that he will change job. For a woman, it is a warning of a casual relationship. According to some oracles, it foretells a law suit. For the gypsies, on the other hand, it means that you will be honored soon.

An archetypal character aspect, the soldier resonates with the warrior.

The job of this particular archetype is protection and aggression, but primarily through the ability to divide all things into the two categories of either right or wrong.

A dream with a soldier in it may be asking you to tap into this inner wisdom to face a life circumstance in a very black and white way. Since we live in a time in which war is a very present reality, a soldier also connects to sacrifice at the community and global levels, as they are the individuals in society who are willing to risk their lives to fight for high ideals.

If there is someone in your life who is a member of the armed services, such a dream image may be more personal.
