Herald
An official messenger of a court — an appointed voice that arrives ahead of a more powerful figure.
A herald in a dream is the dream's image of an appointed voice that arrives ahead of a more powerful figure. The herald is not the ruler; the herald is what comes first to say the ruler is coming. The dream brings the herald when something in your life — an early sign of a coming event, a preliminary announcement, a small advance notice of change — has arrived in a form that should be heard, because the larger figure is right behind. A herald received and respected is the dream affirming the right reading of the early signal. A herald dismissed because they were not the main figure is the dream noting that the warning was real and the household decided it could be ignored, and the main arrival will now be unprepared for.
