Missionary
A dream missionary signals an unexpected gift—notice where generosity wants to land.
Interpretation
Missionaries travel to share hope, resources, or wisdom. In dreams, this figure hints at a gift arriving—perhaps material, emotional, or spiritual. It may be surprising, even humbling, to receive help you didn’t request.
Stay open to benevolence in unusual forms. Whether the gift comes from someone devoted to a cause or from your own inner conviction, explore how you can honor it and pass it forward responsibly.
Common Meanings
- Welcoming a missionary: Accepting support, expanding worldview, or aligning with purpose
- Becoming the missionary: Feeling called to serve, expressing values through action, or seeking community
- Resisting the message: Guarding autonomy, examining cultural sensitivity, or questioning motives
Cultural Context
