The martyr in a dream represents an action or task that requires a person to give their all and put their life on the line for something they believe in. A martyr is one who dies for their beliefs, not only do they die but they choose to die as well. They sacrifice themselves for something greater than themselves that does not hold any kind of monetary or material value. In your waking hours, the sacrifices you make to overcome near impossible challenges will be recognized by all those around you.
