For a man, the priest can embody his spiritual nature and the mystery of sexuality. For a woman, the priest can symbolize the authoritative influence of the father. Your interaction with the priest will offer clues to how you are currently approaching your spiritual side. There is usually a sense of reservation associated with the priest.

Islamic (Ibn Sirin)

A priest in a dream connotes faith, renouncing the world, staying away from suspicion, or he could represent an Imam, a guide, an example to be followed, or a wise man whose instructions people respect and obey. A priest in a dream also could represent someone who follows conjecture, or someone who does not see his own faults. If a regular person sees himself as a priest in a dream, it means benefits for others, rising in station and fame. If a layman sees himself speaking like a preacher, a soothsayer, a fortuneteller, an astrologer or a priest in a dream, it means that he lies and engages in falsehood.
