Gargoyles, though sometimes considered grotesque, are protectors that ward off evil spirits. In dreams, they can symbolize guardianship, the need to protect oneself from harmful influences, or aspects of your personality that you find unattractive but serve a protective purpose. They may also represent a fear of the unknown.
