King of Olympus: authority, decisiveness, a position of leadership.
Category: World mythology (how to read this category)
Psychology
The king of the gods may represent authority, a father figure, or your own power to decide; bosses or parents may appear through him. Being Zeus yourself may show hope or pressure about taking charge.
Folklore and history
Zeus overthrew his father Cronus to become king of Olympus, ruling the sky with thunderbolts. The eagle and oak were his emblems; he was prayed to as guardian of justice and oaths, yet many myths tell of affairs that angered his wife Hera.

This site's view
In this site's view, Zeus mirrors how power is used: a guardian of order who indulged himself. A fair Zeus means a decision will be entrusted to you; a capricious one reflects frustration with someone in power, or fear of becoming like them.
Going deeper: our reading
The ancient games at Olympia were also a festival in honour of Zeus, and he was worshipped as protector of travellers and guests. The Roman poet Ovid tells how Jupiter, the Roman Zeus, and Mercury visited a village disguised as shabby wanderers; turned away at every door, they were welcomed warmly only by a poor elderly couple. The king of the gods was watching how people treated strangers. In this site's reading, people who dream of Zeus are sensitive to how others treat them, and how they treat others. Hosting an unknown guest suggests kindness given without expectation will be repaid in an unexpected way. Cowering under his thunderbolts means fear of a superior's judgement is growing. This is our speculation, but a king's dream may ask about the size of your heart, not your power.
