The meaning of a particular man, or men, in your dreams varies considerably with the setting, other characters, action, and any other apparent symbolic in the dream. If known to you, a male can refer directly to concerns or issues or feelings you have regarding him; or he could represent another, possibly new, man in your life with similar aspects that you may need to consider.

An unknown man and his actions can represent your ideal man if you are a woman; aspects of yourself, possibly inner resources such as assertiveness, fortunes, business acumen. A man’s behavior toward you can also highlight anxieties or feelings about that aspect of your behavior, possibly within a relationship, but not necessarily.
