Our spiritual mentor or Higher Self will sometimes be seen as the Pope. He may also be someone to whom we have given authority. The Pope often appears in dreams as a substitute for the father, or as a personification of God. Often to meet the Pope in a dream is to meet the side of ourselves that has developed a code of behaviour based on our religious beliefs. He may be benign or judgmental, depending on how we perceive the head of the Catholic church. It will also depend on how the figure of the Pope was presented in childhood.
