Dreaming of Religion
religion, belief, faith · mixed
Religion in a dream mostly points to your conscience: turmoil if you argue about it, ease if its grip loosens.
What happens in the dream
- A minister tells you privately he has given up his work: unexpected, favourable news
- You act overly pious: you will put off your partner with affected innocence
- You are not religious but have done no wrong: your frankness and kindness will earn you respect and affection
- You reproach yourself in a fit of religious feeling: you'll be tempted to give up your own personality to please someone you revere
- You see religion losing its power: you will live more in harmony with the world, with fewer prejudices
- You discuss religion with fervour: troubles will disturb your calm and your business
- You weep over religion: disappointment in your heart's desires
How you felt
- Soul-searching: the dream often reflects a clash between your values and your actions
- A need for meaning: perhaps a spiritual search or a period of questioning
Ask yourself
- Are my actions in line with my values?
- What gives my life meaning?
