Pirate dream meaning is explained below using 24 different sources. Each interpretation is shown with its source.

Interpretation 1 — Theresa Cheung

If a pirate features in your dream, he may be echoing a sense of someone else having taken something or someone that is important to you; he might also be a symbol of a person or dilemma that may be compromising the emotional aspect of your life, or a violation of your creative decisions or integrity may be occurring within your waking life. Sometimes a pirate is a symbol for freedom and breaking the rules.

You may have to consider taking a risk or engaging in some sort of adventure when this character appears to you in a dream.

Interpretation 2 — Martha Clarke

This dream indicates that the dreamer harbors some feeling of guilt or shame for having taken something that did not belong to him in real life. You should ask yourself if you have looted something, or maybe stolen someone’s partner. The key word is “to pirate”; therefore the dream does not have a positive interpretation. Perhaps some unscrupulous person is taking advantage of you, or you of him.

Pirates can be romantic, but they are also violent and dangerous. The dream is interpreted as a warning to work with caution.
