King Dream Meaning: From 25 Different Sources

King

Control, Law, Authority Figure. Special someone in your life. In African folklore, the King is said to be “the one who holds all life, human and cosmic, in his hands; the keystone of society and the universe.” In the modern world, we may not associate the King with ultimate power, knowledge or wisdom. However, historically the mythical King was highly spiritual, was the center of the wheel of life and was said to have a regulatory function in the cosmos. Psychologically, the king and the queen are said to be the “archetypes of human perfection.” As a dream symbol, you can understand the king or queen in your dream by realizing that they represent your ability for independence, self-understanding and self-determination. They also represent inner wealth that will enable you to be your best and help you to achieve your goals. Consciously, you may never have the desire to be a king or queen, but psychologically, these figures are symbolic of our highest potential and our desire to be the “king or queen” of our own world and our own lives. On rare occasions and depending on the details of the dream, the king and queen may represent a powerful force that is unkind and tyrannical.

King

The king symbolizes, in an abstract sense, the universal and archetypal man. As such, it has magical and supernatural powers. It also expresses the guiding principle, supreme conscience, the virtue of a judge, and self-control. On the other hand, the coronation means accomplishment, victory, and culmination. From here man can be named kind in the culminating instants of his existence.

If the dreamer is young, the king could represent his father or another similar figure; on the contrary, for an adult, it corresponds to the dreamer. In this case, the dream could announce that you are reaching maturity, or professional success. Carl Jung used the strange and symbolic language of the alchemists for many of his interpretations. In this sense, the king is the personification of work. Its appearance in dreams, on the other hand, could have diverse meanings.

If he is sick, it represents out of place attitudes and sometimes conflicts between reason and instinct; if he is decrepit, it signifies a limited conscience; and if he fades or comes with his mother, it is the return to the subconscious.

King

(and Queen)

(1) A king may symbolize your father - or your subjective image of your father.

(2) King may be a symbol of the self. So may king and queen together, representing a union of opposites in the psyche - for example, conscious and unconscious, masculine and feminine qualities, etc.

See also Couple.

(3) If the king and queen are chess pieces, and the king is under threat from the queen, this may symbolize (in a man’s dream) a mother- attachment that is threatening to smother his individuality and independence; or a threatening - because repressed and neglected - anima; or (in a woman’s dream) the repression of the animus. (On anima / animus, see Brother / Sister, sections (4)-(6))

[DREAM IMAGES: CHIEF; EMPEROR; LEADER; RULER]

The king is an archetype that represents the height of temporal male power and authority. He represents the father figure in your life, or the dominant ruling power—the part of you that is in control. Both benevolence and cruelty in their extreme expressions are associated with this archetype. Whether your kingdom is a corporation, community, family or your own life, such dreams suggest the need to rule compassionately.

King

One’s father; what you are ruled by; feelings of inferi­ority/superiority. Also in times past the king represented the group, the overall collective psyche of the people. He became synonymous with God, as the Pope is today.

The word God was here equivalent to ‘the collective psyche*. So the king or queen may represent our relationship with our fellows.

King

Almost invariably a king appearing in a dream represents the father or father figure.

A personality such as an emperor may indicate that some of the father’s attitudes are alien to the dreamer, but should perhaps be accepted. When the king is old or on the point of dying the dreamer will be able to reject outworn or old-fashioned family values.

King

(God Almighty; Governor; Mayor; President; Royalty; Sultan) The true King is God Almighty.

If the king is pleased with someone in a dream, it means that God Almighty is pleased with him, and if the king is angry with him in the dream, it means that God Almighty is displeased with him. Ifone sees the king frowning in a dream, it means that he fails to properly perform his prayers or show true religious devotion. Ifone sees him smiling in a dream, it means profits in one’s material as well as spiritual life.

If one sees that God Almighty has appointed him as a king over a land, it means that he will receive such a regency, should he qualify. Later on, unrest will bring tyrants, or dictators to justice, while people of knowledge and piety will survive and regain their authority.

If one sees himself as a calif or as an Imam in a dream and should he qualify, it means that he will receive such an honor, rank, trust and fame in the land, though his vice-regency will not become hereditary. However, it is a bad omen ifhe becomes a calif in the dream and does not qualify for such an appointment. In such a case, and by contrast, he will be humiliated and dispersed, and his own helpers will become his su periors, while his enemies will rejoice at his misfortune.

If one sees himself as a king in a dream, though in reality he does not qualify, it means that he may die quickly, and the same is true if a sick person sees himself turned into a king.

Otherwise, should he in the dream fear the consequences of what is happening, or if he lacks trueness, or if he slanders them, or indulges in what is unlawful for him to do, then should he reach the king’s door, it means that he will triumph against his enemies inside that palace, and they can cause no harm to him.

If in his dream, the king gives him a gift, it means that he will win victory and honor in his life to equal the value of that gift. Ifthe king gives him a brocaded silk garment in the dream, it means that he will give him a wife from the royal family.
