What does it mean to dream about jester?

A comical, often wise dream figure who speaks truth through humor and paradox, symbolizing the liberating power of play and unconventional perspective.

The Jester is archetypally linked to the Trickster figure — a being capable of breaking customary rules and speaking uncomfortable truths precisely because he stands outside the usual hierarchy of seriousness. His appearance in a dream often reflects the need for a lighter, paradoxical perspective on a current serious situation. In the Raido archetypes, the "Jester" rune directly names his role: the only one at court who speaks the truth.
