Soldier
To dream of a soldier represents an aspect of your personality with a rigid mindset. You or someone else that is doing everything possible to confront a problem or maintain a belief. A part of you that is disciplined, rigid, and stubborn in the face of opposition. They symbolize a part of you that's sacrificing everything to resist unwanted thoughts, emotions, or negative life experiences.
Alternatively, a soldier means that you are preparing yourself to defend your beliefs, values and opinions. Negatively, a solider may be a sign that you are imposing your views on others.
If you see evil soldiers, or soldiers from an opposing side (e.g. Russian soldiers in an American citizens dream) this represents aspects of your personality that are rigid in a negative or oppressive manner.
To see a retired solider in a dream represents an aspect of your personality that has finished or overcome a period of confrontation. You no longer have to try so hard or be so stubborn about something.
