Stepfather

To dream of a stepfather represents a substitute conscience or decision-making ability that you have no control over needing to accept, adjust to, integrate with, or adapt to. Fathers in dreams typically reflect the conscience or our ability to make a decision. A stepfather is then symbolically a substitute form of conscience or choice that we feel forced to accept with current conditions. You may feel a choice has been made for you or that you've been pressured into a decision. The respect or challenges associated with adapting to new rules, guidance, or support from someone who doesn't make decisions in a way you are accustomed to.

Feeling that you have to accept someone else's decisions controlling you with no say in the matter when it isn't what you wanted. Not liking putting up with someone else's substitute choices that were made for you.

Alternatively, a stepfather may reflect tension or disappointment with your real father.

Example: A woman dreamed of seeing her deceased stepfather standing up from a coffin with bullet holes in him. She told him to rest and he didn't listen. In waking life, she got into a big fight with her sister over an issue which she had no control over. She had accepted losing the argument so that she could move on with her life and stopped talking to her sister. She started talking to her sister at a later time which brought up the old arguments. In this case, the stepfather may have reflected her feelings about needing to accept her sister's decision-making with no say in the matter.
