Pride in a dream often reflects honest recognition of your own worth -- a moment where an achievement, however small, is finally being acknowledged, even if only by yourself. Feeling pride without needing anyone else to confirm it can point to a healthier relationship with your own value than you usually give yourself credit for.
Planets do manifest greater and worser evils when they are stationary, than when they are retrograde. - William Lilly (1602.-1681.)
