What Does Dreaming of a Dwarf Mean?
Traditional Interpretation
In the Turkish-Islamic tradition of dream interpretation (Ibn Sirin and al-Nabulsi), seeing a dwarf can mostly indicate contentment with modest means, small but blessed gains, or a hidden good within an undertaking that appears less than expected. Some interpreters have read the dwarf as a person deemed weak in appearance yet in truth clever and skillful — and at times as a gossiping troublemaker.
Psychological View
In modern psychology, the dwarf figure can represent a part of the dreamer that feels "small," inadequate, or overlooked; at the same time, in connection with Jung's "inner child" and shadow archetypes, it may point to a suppressed potential that carries great wisdom or creative power despite its small appearance. Like the helpful dwarfs of fairy tales, it may also signal unexpected support or a matter of self-confidence being worked through.
By Context

It can indicate a tension blown out of proportion over a small matter, or a minor disagreement at home to be resolved with patience and tolerance.
Seeing a Cheerful, Helpful Dwarf
It can indicate small but precious help arriving from an unexpected quarter, an auspicious friendship, or affairs becoming easier.
According to Ibn Sirin, Seeing a Crowd of Dwarfs
It can be a warning not to underestimate the worth of those around you — and can point to unexpected benefit coming from people or undertakings thought insignificant.
