1- A knight appearing in a dream, particularly a woman’s, can have the obvious connotation of a romantic liaison - the knight in shining armour. This actually is a manifestation of her own Animus (See Also: Introduction) - her own inner masculine - and is to do with her search for perfection. In a man’s dream it indicates he may be searching for the Hero (See Also: Archetypes) in himself.
2- Psychologically, the knight in a dream signifies the guiding principle. He is that part of ourselves which is sometimes known as the Higher Self, the spirit guiding the physical.
The black knight is the embodiment of evil.
It is interesting that often the white knight appears with his visor up, whereas the black knight appears with his visor down.
3- Initiation, in order to develop one’s finer qualities.
[1]Loyalty and self-sacrifice are the knight’s great virtues, along with a natural ability to get things done. The black knight donning dark armor and riding a black horse represents the shadow characteristics of this archetype, especially the absence of honor and chivalry, or loyalty to a questionable cause. In its negative aspect, the knight can fall into a pattern of saving others but ignoring his own needs. Such dreams may be urging you to find a balance between self- sacrifice and self-neglect.
[2]Vision: If you are the knight: your friends are going out of their way to support you in your present difficult situation. Seeing a knight: be prepared for a fight—in your personal life as well as on the job.
Depth Psychology: The knight is either a sign that you need protection right now, or that you are very chivalrous toward another person.
[3]Gives gender-specific: A knight appearing in a dream, particularly a woman’s, can have the obvious connotation of a romantic liaison: the knight in shining armour. This actually is a manifestation of her own animus – her own inner masculine – and is to do with her search for perfection. In a man’s dream it indicates he may be searching for the hero in himself.
[4]Material aspects: In pragmatic terms, a project or task may require dedication and focus. Since a knight is expected to show loyalty he may appear signifying this in dreams. Being made a knight in the modern day is still considered to be something of an honour and may have this meaning in dreams.
[5]The man on the horse is symbol of the virtues that have mastered instincts and passions.
It is interpreted as a sense of accomplishment and pride. The dreamer has made progress on the path of spiritual growth.
[6]A knight in a dream can mean that the dreamer is looking for a “knight in shining armor” as a mate or a savior. It can also mean that the dreamer possesses the sterling qualities revealed in the dream.
[7]Adventurous, immature masculinity, but also responsible and honest. In a psychological sense, you are protected by the armor and are unreachable, which can both make sense and cause problems.
[8]A knight relates to the warrior archetype.
The warrior divides the world into two camps: right and wrong. He is the defender of the innocent and can be called upon to right any wrong.
[9]A knight is a follower, or someone who has taken an oath of allegiance. Hence in dreams such a figure signifies initiation, in order to develop our finer spiritual qualities.
