Young Judge in dreams
An authority who decides — a figure whose role is to produce a binding verdict.
How young changes the reading
In its young form, the symbol is past the early-vulnerable phase but not yet at its full strength — a part of your life that has begun to come into its own and is still learning the shape of itself.
The base reading of Judge
A judge in a dream is the dream's image of an authority whose function is to issue a binding decision. The judge does not negotiate; the verdict is the deliverable. The dream brings the judge when a dispute or a question in your life — internal, familial, formal — has reached the stage of needing a final ruling. A judge listened to calmly is the dream telling you the verdict, even if hard, is needed and is being accepted. A judge feared or fought is the dream noting that an internal authority of yours has already begun to issue a ruling you are not yet prepared to live with.
