Church
To dream of a church represents your need for answers to a life problem that is troubling you. You may need insight, a solution, or some kind of guidance about what direction to take, or why something is happening to you. You may have reached a crossroads. Thoughts about needing answers or insight in how to get through a difficult situation. Questioning how to be a good person for the rest of your life. You may be asking yourself, "What am I supposed to do next with this situation?" or "What am I supposed to do with my life?" Anxiety that you might have screwed up while hoping the problem goes away. Having faith in life or other people.
Alternatively, a church may symbolize your religious faith. It represents how faithful you feel or your opinion about the purity of your faith. Hoping that God is not angry at you.
Negatively, dreaming of a church may reflect your feelings about other people being stupid with blind faith during serious matters. An ignorant or unobjective belief that everything will work out if you are faithful enough. Your awareness of others struggling to solve problems or your feelings about others being desperate for answers to their problems.
To dream of a cathedral church may represent your perception of a grand and powerful source of support, guidance, or spiritual solace during a time of uncertainty and anxiety.
To dream of church basement may represent a problem, crisis, or test of faith. It may also reflect difficulty trying to figure out why something terrible is happening to you. Hoping to salvage a situation despite difficulties.
Women often dream of being naked in church days before their wedding, which could be a manifestation of their anxiety about being the center of attention during the wedding ceremony. Anxiety about all their friends and family speaking about and seeing every single detail about them during the ceremony.
Example: A man dreamed of being in a church that was on fire and thought standing at the pulpit would protect him while it continued to burn. In waking life, he was dying of AIDS and thought returning to his old job as a minister was his final calling. Two weeks later he died.
Example 2: A man dreamed of being in a church. In waking life, he felt that someone he knew was being very stupid and naive with blind faith in the government to solve the financial crisis of 2008. In this case, being in church may have reflected his hope for an answer to financial problems when none could be seen.
Example 3: A man dreamed of feeling that it was important to go to church. In waking life, he was having a hard time in his life and felt that he needed to start being more faithful in other people. In this case, the church may have reflected his desire for support, guidance, or a sense of belonging during a challenging period in his life.
Example 4: A man dreamed of standing in front of a church that was built as a tower that went into the sky. He felt that he wanted to safely chop this church down like a tree. In waking life, he was trying to figure out how to cut a mentor out of his life that he had lost respect for without creating relationship problems with the person. In this case, the church may have reflected his perception of the mentor's once-authoritative and influential presence in his life, which he now viewed as undeserving or no longer beneficial.
Example 5: A woman dreamed of being in a church basement. In waking life, she felt that her marriage was ending, but still had great faith that it could be saved if she tried hard enough. In this case, the church basement may have reflected her deep-rooted belief in the power of faith and commitment to salvage her marriage despite the difficulties she was facing.
Example 6: A woman dreamed of being in a cathedral church. In waking life, she was having anxiety about the future, but felt able to hold on just enough. In this case, the cathedral church may have reflected her perception of a grand and powerful source of support, guidance, or spiritual solace during a time of uncertainty and anxiety.
