Dreaming of Holy Communion

holy communion, Eucharist, sacrament · mixed

Communion warns against giving up your convictions for trivial desires.

What happens in the dream

  • You take communion: you'll give up your own views to satisfy a frivolous wish
  • There's no bread or wine: you'll have been won over for nothing, no closer to your goal
  • You're refused and feel unworthy: much discomfort
  • You take communion with another congregation: your friends will feel like strangers, and you'll look to new people for harmony
  • You're refused communion though you feel worthy: hope of landing a prominent position despite powerful rivals

How you felt

  • A need to belong: the dream often reflects a wish to be welcomed into a group
  • Doubts about your values: you may be asking whether you're staying true to yourself

Ask yourself

  • Am I giving up my convictions to be accepted?
  • With whom do I feel genuine communion?
