What are possible meanings for dreams of temples?
A temple in a dream can be a setting symbolizing your innate spirituality, uncomplicated by teachings, beliefs, dogmas, or ideologies. It’s simply your natural expression of connection with something greater than yourself, whether it be nature, society, or a higher power. See: Churches, The earth
A temple can be a place of refuge, a place for quiet contemplation. This use of the symbolism arises often, ironically, with people who are stressed out or really busy. A temple in their dreams can point to the need to slow down and find inner peace, or help provide at least a semblance of it in their dreams. In that sense, dreaming of a temple is compensation for something missing in their lives. See: Gardens
There is also the saying that your body is your temple. Perhaps a temple in a dream symbolizes your body, and the overall message is, “Take care of it.” See: Body parts
A temple can be a stage on which the dramas of your deep inner life play out. These dreams often involve mythological and archetypal themes. See: Castles
Dreaming about trying to find a temple can mean you’re looking for your inner center. See: Circles
See also: Altars, Body parts, Candles, Castles, Churches, Circles, The earth, Gardens, Pastors, Psyches, Pyramids, Stages, Talismans

Snake Dream (._.)
I am female btw, with no fears of snakes or reptilians.
The description of the dream is below, any interpretations would help! :D
​
I was walking to the second floor of my house, where my room is. I wanted to change into my pajamas so I shut the door walked to my bed and was about to undress when I heard the rattle of a snake tail. I backed away stopping what I was doing and took a moment to spot the "rattlesnake" underneath my bed.
I wasn't too scared of it, though I did back away and call my mom to the room to look at it. At this point the scene started to change, the snake now bigger and resembling more of a very large and beautiful boa. ( **it looked a lot like the Boa constrictor sabogae with very dark pronounced spots)**
I spoke up saying "It's a beautiful snake." My "mom" in the dream looked at me weirdly and she faded out of the picture. I got closer to the bed which then turned into a wall of linen cloth with a hole where I could see the snakes head looking at me. I watched as it started to climb upwards out of sight, my room now shifting to resemble a large middle eastern old timey style temple **(thats the best I can describe it.)**
I found myself standing at the top of a wood precipice **(like a stand where a worker would chisel something.)** and looking down at the large open space with open windows, sunlight flooding the palace like room. There were snakes everywhere, on the walls on the windows and many lying about on the floor. I was just watching them wriggle around when I woke up and found myself looking under my bed *just to make sure.*
***So thats that... Any interpretations are welcome, thank you!***

Had a dream I was drowning...
I was swimming through this under water temple/cavern without any sort of breathing apparatus, just kind of a free dive. There was fish that I somehow knew where deadly if they bit me if I got too close. I came to this hole in the wall that lead to a bigger room and I tried squeezing through but couldn't.
One diver was able to slip through but I'm a big fella and I couldn't get my elbows through with my head it was so small. The other diver with me said I have to go through I don't have enough oxygen to go back the way we came and I'll die if I don't go through the hole. I try squeezing again and it is even harder the second time. I was trying to squeeze through without any luck and thinking I'm gonna die.
I jolted out of the dream and just breathed for like 5 minutes before going back to sleep.

Suicide dream
Warning: fucking weird
Dreamt today that I was in some sort of community, and at one point I and a girl hugged and we became friends?
Then after a while, someone let a bunch of soldiers march in, which was normal. Shortly after I saw that they had red armbands with swastikas. This wasn't normal. One nazi tried to capture me but I ran away. Then another nazi showed up who was shirtless and buff, and offered me to either join them or be mauled by his dog.
Later, the entire community was captured by the nazis, and someone around me had a gun. I asked for the gun to shoot myself with, he gave it to me. I shot myself in the temple, and fell over and felt somewhat sleepy, but it was like when you lay down on your bed and no longer feel sleepy. He showed me my wound on the head and it was a big, partially yellow and red crater with bits of brain hanging out. I took the gun again and shot myself in the mouth, but didn't die. Realised I needed to hit my brain stem, pointed it that way, shot, and fell asleep quickly.
Afterwards, I floated around as a ghost and helped the girl friend with stuff. Positive dream because love and friendship.

Hello! I just dreamed something that rally shocked me out and I was wondering if this was a myth or something, I decided to write for help (sorry for my grammatical mistakes, I'm not a native speaker) I would thank you so much if you could help me! 💖💖💖
So I dreamed about moving to Japan because of a war in my country (México). There were thousands of mexicans in this japanese City. After settle down in this tiny and old apartmen a weird kind of feeling apeared, and I felt like someone or something was following me, I told this to my family and no one belive me and they thought that I was crazy. After this, a lot of things happened but are not necesary to tell (and I don't remember it very well anyways), but I do remember that my friend and her sister (who were refugee too) recommended me to dress a kind of japanese fit and wear white makeup (not like a geisha) and then go to pray to a temple, so I did that because it tourn out really creepy and I was really scared, shadows were following me. I went there and I started to pray, It didn't work and the shadows were scratching me and hurting me, but no one could see them, so I bursted into tears and I supplicated for help, AND THEN, a japanese guy appeared (He was taller than me, very pale, with a black-green japanese wear, with black paint on his face) and he protected me and hugging me, he cut with a katana all the "shadows", so I was crying and he told me something that I didn't understand, but I thanked him.

Can someone help me interpret my painful lucid dream, literally painful
I think a lot. I think the term overthinking would undermine what I do. For me, it's almost like an obsession. I can't stop thinking, it's addicting, it's how my brain is built. Recently, I had an odd dream. In it, there was no context, only pain. Maybe it was a lucid dream, but it felt as if my head was put in an ever tightening clamp. My skull was knocked open and someone was pouring acid on it and lighting it on fire. It was unbearable. It felt like eye strain or when you cross your eyes or when you close your eyes and try to flex your temple’s mussels. That buzzing feeling you feel around the sides of your head. The vibrariting and loudness of it. That's all I could hear and feel and it was all around my brain but painful and kinda smooth. It wasn't chaotic, more like I could feel every thought passing through my neurons and it hurt. As an overthinker, i think a lot and i felt every little thing in every part of my brain. It was like I unlocked 100% of my brain and it hurt. I was processing things so fast I couldn't actually focus on one thing to think about.
