Dreaming of a Churchyard

churchyard, graveyard · mixed

A churchyard foretells either hardship and distance or a long, happy life, depending on the season.

What happens in the dream

  • Seeing signs of spring there: pleasant places and the company of friends
  • A churchyard, in another reading: a long, happy life
  • If you and your partner are there together: you won't marry each other, and others will take your places
  • Walking in a churchyard in winter: a long struggle with poverty, far from home and friends

How you felt

  • Melancholy: the dream may reflect thoughts about time passing
  • Serenity: it can also show you've made peace with the past

Ask yourself

  • What am I ready to leave behind?
  • Do I feel far from my roots?
