What does a badge mean in dreams?
1. The traditional interpretation

A dream about wearing a badge often hints at a desire for recognition or validation. But the dream can be more nuanced than just that.
It may indicate that you're seeking approval or acknowledgment for your efforts.
Alternatively, if someone else is showing you a badge in your dream, it could suggest that you're being called to take responsibility or authority in a situation. It might also represent a figure of authority in your life, or a need to respect rules and regulations.
A badge can often be a complex and fascinating dream symbol to to give you a single interpretation of. To know without any doubts, I'd need to take a deeper dive into the dreamer's background and circumstances.
2. The psychoanalyst's interpretation

Ernesto Andrahi
Psychoanalyst,
Contributor: "3 of Dreams Book of Dreams"
Dreaming of donning a badge may be a representation of an internal yearning to embody a certain role or identity, a Freudian manifestation of the ego's quest for self-definition.
Thinking a bit more creatively... It could also signify a subconscious grappling with issues of authenticity and legitimacy. Conversely, if one dreams of being shown a badge, it may symbolize a confrontation with external authority or power dynamics. This could be a reflection of the superego's struggle with societal norms and expectations. It might also suggest a latent anxiety about judgement or evaluation from an external authority figure, a manifestation of the fear of the 'other's gaze'.
3. The spiritualist's interpretation

Dreaming of wearing a badge can be a spiritual symbol of your soul's desire to be seen and acknowledged for your unique gifts and contributions. It's a call from your higher self to step into your power and embrace your true identity. Conversely, if someone else is showing you a badge in your dream, it's a divine message asking you to respect and acknowledge the authority and wisdom of others. It's a spiritual reminder that every person we encounter is a teacher in some way, and there's always something valuable to learn. This dream is a call to humility, respect, and mutual recognition.
