Armour dream meaning is explained below using 6 different sources. Each interpretation is shown with its source.
Interpretation 1 — Eric Ackroyd
Armour may symbolize efforts to protect ourselves against emotions that fill us with anxiety. Whereas the armour on an animal or a tank protect against external dangers, the armour-plating we construct is a defence against internal threats. Needless to say, such construction is misdirected labour: the ‘foes’ within must be disarmed, but this can be done only by accepting them, which means, first, acknowledging their existence, and secondly, entering into dialogue with them, giving them a fully sympathetic hearing.
