Preacher
A preacher often touches ways not above reproach and affairs moving unevenly, with misfortune in hearing preaching and disputes with egotistical people. The dream may ask where you sense your own conduct falling short of what's preached, and whether the moralizing figure mirrors a self-reproach or a coming clash with the overbearing.
