A vicar is a man of God and spiritually has authority over us. He is often the authority figure to whom we have given control. When a vicar appears in a dream, we are usually aware of the more spiritual, knowledgeable side of ourselves that part that sits in judgement on our own actions. Just as the priest was given spiritual authority over many, and was often a figure to be feared, so the vicar is also given this authority. He is perhaps less daunting than the priest in dreams.
