In dreams, dictators might represent a desire for someone to have authority in their lives or that sense of being in charge. Dictators can show fear, anxiety or powerlessness so to identify the dictator it is important to examine the relationship with the dreamer and what he is symbolizing.
In the dream state, a dictator is a symbol of our idea of an authoritarian personality. The dictates of such a person are unyielding, rigid and unmoving. The personality is also cold and uncaring, with no interest of being human or getting to know you.
If you see a dictator in your dream it may give you insights into how you view yourself. It can express your own relentless pursuit for power and this type or behavior what motivates us to do what we feel is within our boundaries of control over others.
