Four ways to read it
Each reading below comes from a named tradition and a cited source, so you can see where it came from and decide what fits your dream.
Freud
Freud would read the chin as part of the face's bearing, tied to defiance or to the wish to stand firm. A weak or wounded chin can mark a fear of being unable to hold one's ground.
After Freud, The Interpretation of Dreams (Brill trans., 1913), public domain.Jung
Jung would see the chin as a small sign of the will, the part of the face that meets resistance head on. Its strength or weakness may mirror how the self feels about standing up to a present test.
Jungian concept (our summary).Modern
Continuity ties the chin to waking concerns about composure and resolve, the everyday effort to keep one's chin up. It often appears in seasons when a person feels their nerve being tested.
Continuity hypothesis (our summary).Mythological
The lifted chin has long stood for pride or courage in story and proverb alike. To take it on the chin became an old image of bearing a blow without flinching.
