An interpretation of church dreams

An interpretation of church dreams

This interpretation is from ""The Dream Interpretation Dictionary: Symbols, Signs, and Meanings" and is provided by J.M. DeBord aka "RadOwl". He is the author of several acclaimed books about dreaming, the host of The Dreams That Shape Us podcast, and is a moderator of r/Dreams, one of the largest dream sharing communities on the internet. Dreaming about a church can connect with your spiritual or religious life, but be careful because dreams can use associations with churches to create symbolism that has nothing to do with spiritual or religious life. For example, dreaming about being in a big church with an important person in your life can symbolize a huge amount of faith in that person. Seeing a friend leaving a church without you can symbolize loss of belief in the friendship—maybe it isn’t the great, unshakable friendship you once believed it was. Bringing a child to a church can symbolize teaching right from wrong. The condition of the church can be a modifier of the symbolism. A church in disrepair can symbolize lack of care or attention to areas of life associated with church: faith or faithfulness, morality, spirituality, community-building, socializing, inner peace. A church that’s like a fortress can symbolize a defensive mentality related to beliefs, even if those beliefs have nothing to do with church. Bigfoot is real, dammit, and no one can tell me otherwise! A man dreams about giants deconstructing an old church on a seashore. They use pieces of it to build a boat, and at the end of the dream the boat is ready to launch. It symbolizes using pieces from his experience with traditional religion to build a new belief system that will carry him onward in his spiritual life. The symbolism of churches can relate to events that commonly happen in them, such as weddings and funeral services. For example, dreaming about a desecrated church altar can connect with finding out your spouse has been cheating on you. The altar is the place where you both swore fidelity. Hearing wedding bells can symbolize the desire to get married, or the feeling that your significant other is about to pop the question. But as usual, dreams can add unusual twists, so always begin with your associations. What does the church in your dream bring to mind? How does it fit into the story?
