Interpretations and Meanings of Dreams
Dreaming of yourself in front of a temple, watching it, may mean that your problems are upsetting you, and therefore you’re looking for shelter. Dreaming of yourself entering a temple may mean that you recognize your helplessness when trying to solve your problems, which is why you seek help. Dreaming of yourself praying inside a temple may mean that your problems are being solved, for prayer means dialogue with someone who could help you effectively….
Dreaming that you are praying is a certain need to dump a particular matter. The dream may also indicate that you have to forgive someone….
Seeing a temple in a dream represents your thoughts, meditation and spiritual growth….
When we pray in dreams it is because we feel guilty of something that we do not want to reveal in a waking life. It can also mean that we are in a compromising situation and we do not know how to get out of it. Maybe we expect some miraculous intervention to take us out of trouble….
(see CHURCH)…
Dreaming of a monastery or temple ruins indicates that your wishes and plans are at risk of failing, mainly due to lack of honesty, either your own or from others. When a young woman dreams that she’s entering a temple, and worse if it’s in ruins, it indicates an illness and the illness can be worse depending on how ruined the temple is. Dreaming of a monastery or a lonely and gloomy temple usually suggests that a loved one will die soon….
Dreaming of being in a coffin means that you should check your own behavior, since the coffin announces various losses, including the death of someone close. This symbol is especially important if the dreamer is praying beside the coffin. Dreaming of a coffin covered with flowers, especially if they are white, inside an illuminated temple, suggests that soon there will be a wedding in the family, but that marriage will fail. Dreaming of lying inside of a coffin, without knowing anything else indicates long life for the dreamer. Dreaming of a coffin moving by itself suggests a serious illness in the family or in the marriage if the dreamer happens to be married. In case you are about to marry, this dream can announce impediments for the wedding. Dreaming of using a coffin as a seat inside the carriage that transports it to the cemetery, it announces major disorders and disease for a relative or friend. Dreaming of watching how a coffin is put into a carriage is announcement of serious problems at home, as well as frequent fights in the marriage or in relationships….
Dreaming that you, or other people are praying, announces bad times, unpleasantness, failures and losses. Dreaming of a priest praying suggests that your behavior is not very good and it will bring you problems in the immediate future….
In a similar way you can interpret dreams where religious buildings appear, but in this case they reveal the existence of doubts of intellectual, moral, or spiritual concerns. What is important in the dream is our attitude to the abbey, which can reflect the intensity and motivation of these concerns. For example, if we go to the abbey, but we do not enter, it means that our concerns are not yet well defined, nor on track, but is an indication that we already envision where we should direct them. But if we are also praying at the abbey there is no doubt that the concern will soon become certainty and happiness….
Dreaming of a chapel without entering it, is a sign of caution because business is bad. It is equivalent to the advice of praying so that help will come from the outside. Dreaming about being in a small chapel that lacks religious figures insinuates that the dreamer is disenchanted with his or her own activities and that the dreamer wishes to switch jobs to one in a less isolated place. People who dream that they are inside a chapel imply that their romantic relationships are not solid, they are only temporary, even though they might mistake it for true love….
When a woman dreams that she’s dressed and acting as a priestess, or at least as a member of a church, but she actually isn’t, indicates that feels love, admiration, compassion and respect towards nature, in all its manifestations, which leads her to think of God. Dreaming of being a priestess but acting with superiority and being very vain, suggests that you have a difficult and contentious nature that produces frequent clashes and problems around you. This dream describes someone that is very unstable and temperamental. Dreaming that you are a member of a church or priestess who is inattentively lighting a fire, or praying, equally distracted, suggests that you contradict your own point of view, which causes troubles and it even makes you carrying grudges because of a stubborn fanaticism….
Entering a church is sign of loyalty to the beloved one. Building a church means strength of spirit. Praying inside a church means you will receive the desired support, optimism and joy….
We can apply it to any religious temple. Dreaming about it means spiritual, moral or intellectual concerns. If we pray inside, it is a sign of happiness….
To dream about hiding beetles announces poverty or poor health, particularly within your family. To dream that a beetle is walking on top of your body warns you of upcoming serious problems, particularly health problems. To dream that you kill a beetle is a sign of self-control over problems that may arise. Dreaming about beetles that are climbing the wall of a beautiful building or temple symbolizes prosperity….
In some cultures, it is a rule to remove your shoes before entering a temple or the house of another person as an indication that we are at the owner’s disposal. The shoe represents us, and we let it out as a symbol that we do not claim any personal authority. Hence some dreams about shoes indicate a desire to possess the shoe owner. But shoes are also a symbol of walking and paths. Dreaming that you have dirty shoes on, can mean feelings of guilt. If in the dream we are walking barefoot, it can symbolize fear to see us subjected to unwanted situations of humiliation. If in the dream our shoes are not comfortable, they are reflecting a situation in everyday life that makes us uncomfortable, perhaps we do not have freedom of action or authority to impose our judgment….
This is usually about feelings, ideas and lived circumstances that are already dead but produces us melancholy. If it is a monument, a temple or a city of antiquity that in dreams appears to us in perfect condition, then it portends immortality for our ideas or our works….
