What does it mean to dream of church

There are those who spontaneously think of these sacred buildings and their altars while they sleep, and in this article I explain exactly what does it mean to dream of church. When you go sightseeing and enter a cathedral that you have loved, it is normal that days later you dream how beautiful it was, as well as if you see a religious documentary or a iglesia on the news burning.But before we begin, I remind you that there are many ways to interpret a dream. For example, It does not mean the same if you visualize a church full of people than if it is dark, in ruins or even on fire. It can be a Christian, a Buddhist or Muslim temple.

Are you going to pray or is it breaking down? In addition, it is important not to forget your personal situation to extract a subjective part and come to understand precisely what the subconscious tells you while you sleep.

What is the meaning of dreaming about a church or monastery?

In general, psychoanalysis suggests that a dream about churches, in which you normally go to pray, it means you feel inner peace. It is a relaxing feeling full of silence and tranquility. When you have made an important decision, you go to a sacred temple to ponder your action. You are thinking better of it unconsciously, or you are looking for better in your posture. Also, when you try to figure out a riddle or how to overcome an obstacle, your conscience draws an ancient church in which you try to find solutions.

What does it mean to dream of a church

This would be the most generic explanation, but as I explained above, the interpretations differ if an aura forgives your sins in a confession than if you are watching a monastery collapse. So now we are going to dig a little deeper into the context.

More dream interpretations and symbols of churches and cathedrals

Do you have existential doubts? If you continually wonder if God really exists, a dream of a Christian church would be normal.

It means you have a lot of unsolved questions that lead to agnosticism. You feel that such a small world next to the universe is nothing.

If you see how the cathedral is full of darkness, it means that you try to hide from some aspects of your life. You are looking for peace to rest. You don't want the noise of people to alter your soul.

Do you need to confess? If in your church dream You approach a priest and ask him for confession, it is interpreted that remorse is brewing within you that does not allow you to sleep peacefully.

Did you yell at a friend for no reason? Did you argue with your partner and hurt him? Obviously you regret your impure acts, and when you wake up you will have to ask for forgiveness to return to normality.

I advise you to offer a sincere apology if you really care about that person. If not, you may have nightmares with the devil (see what it means dream of the devil).

Finally, in everyday life, full of injustices, you can see how many priests take advantage of normal people or how they preach commandments that they do not keep.

They convey the message of a god and then act according to other directives. That is why many think that the Church is a pure business, a way to control people, to keep them innocent and ignorant through dogma, since at no time do they promote critical or rational thinking.

During centuries, the Inquisition provoked massacres and witch hunts (look at meaning of dreaming about witchcraft), and today its behavior is not at the level of science.

This can lead you to dream about ruined churches, which collapse because their arguments contradict themselves. In the end, an abandoned ruin remains.

Have you ever had this dream? As was? How did it end? I would love that you write your experiences, as well as your own interpretations about what you dreamed of in the comments.

Readers will find it helpful in many cases to resolve their doubts.

  1. Nacho, thanks for your blog. I have dreamed of churches and monasteries several times. I dreamed a couple of months ago that I was part of a monastery and that in the middle of a darkness, one of the monks approached me with a hidden dagger, with the intention of assassinating me. In the dream I had to be next to him, and it was so intense that I still haven't forgotten it. I don't know if he finally murdered me in the dream or not.
    In last night's dream, the Notre Dame de Paris church, in the smallest dream, was completely collapsing, as if it were a card game, and my brother, who in the dream appeared at times as my brother or son, was on the roof of the church. The church walls collapsed, and he who was on the roof was unharmed. Some people came out to rescue him from the rubble. I was just screaming in the distance, and I was in a position from which I couldn't help him.

  2. Hello Nacho, I live in San Josรฉ de Maipo, a mountain tourist town near Santiago de Chile.
    Last night I dreamed that the tower of the church in my town, which is a landmark in the area, was collapsing with a crash.
    I was in the main square where the Church is located, I was walking down the side street. He saw that the tower was notoriously leaning and shouted, as a warning: "It is going to fall" and immediately afterwards, it collapsed forward, being completely in ruins ...
    The dream continued, but everything was around the powerful image of seeing the destroyed church ...

  3. Hello, I dreamed that I was in a church or monastery and there was a lot of money on the floors and I stole it and kept it for myself.
    Then a lady noticed and asked me to return and I looked in my wallet and gave it back, then I woke up.

  4. Hello. I tell you that at least 6 times I have dreamed of this place, an immense, luxurious monastery, with an abandoned part. Other parts that are not accessible, but that I accessed on some occasions and the last time I dreamed about it, the ruins were being traveled by tourists, apparently and I could access the other sites, very luxurious. In one of them I was going down a ladder and I fell and a priest in white, oriental with gold shoes took my hand and helped me to stand, after a while another person in a dark religious suit apparently, I did not see his face, he supported me with his hand in the back. After admiring the place, I woke up. I would like to know what it means. Thanks. Hugs
