Dreaming of an abbot represents someone of authority controlling your actions, or limiting your potential. Seek out who this individual is, or what task this abbot represents and confront them with your utmost focus. Reverse the feelings of helplessness due to these self imposed restrictions by leaving the past behind, and forge forward in a life of new experiences.
If one sees an old and wise-looking abbot in their dream then this could often indicate an authority figure or someone who is experienced and well-respected. On the other hand, if one sees a less respectable looking abbot with dirty clothes and blood on his hands then this may represent a hinderance as someone who is making decisions that are not good for the individual or society as whole.
