Dreaming of Prayer

prayer, praying, rosary, worship · mixed, with one happy exception

Prayer in a dream often points to refused requests or hard effort ahead, but sincere prayer promises happiness.

What happens in the dream

  • You join others in prayer: you will ask someone a favour and be refused
  • You offer heartfelt prayers to God: happiness, the happy sign
  • You pray or see others praying: failure threatens, and only strenuous effort will avert it
  • You hear prayers at church or in public: you will be asked to do something, refuse, and make an enemy

How you felt

  • A need for support: the dream may reflect a situation where you feel powerless
  • Calm: perhaps a search for meaning or inner peace

Ask yourself

  • What would I like to ask for, and from whom?
  • What do I need in order to feel supported?
