Authority

Might depict what has arisen in your life out of relationship with father; ones relationship with authority; a view of how one uses power of authority. The authority figure and the way we relate to them often gives clues to the underlying dynamics of our paternal relationship. The dream might also show our general ways of meeting authority or being in that role.

Useful questions are:

Does this character have any signs of being like your father – if so what does it illustrate?

What is the way you are relating to the authority, and is that how you usually respond?

If you are the authority, what is your stance and manner?
