Dreaming of a Church
church, parish · mostly negative, with one happy exception
A church is usually an ill omen, unless you're praying in it.
What happens in the dream

- Seeing a church in the distance: long-awaited pleasures will disappoint you
- Entering a gloomy church: you'll attend a funeral, and better times are slow to come
- Singing in church: a dream with unwelcome consequences
- If you're in love: your sweetheart prefers someone else
- If you're hoping for a job or work in trade: disappointment, and little chance of thriving where you are
- Being in church during a service: a lawsuit or quarrel that could nearly ruin you
How you felt
- Contemplation: the dream may reflect a need for stillness and meaning
- Apprehension: it can also express fear of an ordeal or of being judged
Ask yourself
