Complete Dictionary of Dreams
by Dr. Mıchael Lennox
The guard is an archetype whose job it is to protect. Guards can show up in a number of different settings, from the government to a prison, but their essence is the same. They keep danger and violence at bay. As a character aspect in a dream, any guard is the part of your own psyche that is there because of a sense of the danger that may befall you from the outside world. Conversely, a prison guard may indicate that there may be feelings of violence inside of you that must be contained.
My Dream Interpretation
by myjellybean
To see a guard in your dream, or to dream that you are a guard, suggests that you may be experiencing a lot of insecurity in your waking life.
The dream is compensating for your lack of security. You need to feel well-protected, both physically and emotionally.
Islamic Dream Interpretation
by Ibn Seerin
If one sees himself guarded in a dream, it means complications in his life, business, security or health. Ifone is experiencing difficulties at that time, then his dream means relief and reversal of his condition for the better. Being guarded in a dream also may mean status, rank or peace for the guarded and difficulties for his guard.
