a breastplate is a protective piece of armour to cover the heart. as such, in a dream it is symbolic of a need to protect ourselves from having our heart damaged by another. this may be a message to either let our defences down or keep them up depending on who the dream is referring to.
A breastplate indicates that you do not allow others to get close to you the theory is that keeping people at a distance prevents you from getting hurt the dream shows this to ask you to open up and allow others to get close as it is not healthy to suppress your feelings over a long period of time ideally you are open and honest about your feelings both to yourself and to others your heart requires balanced expression to stay healthy
