Temple / Church
A sacred place such as a temple or a church stands for rest of mind and the protection of a benefactor. Praying there is a good omen that a wish is nearing fulfillment, and simply staying quietly means you need rest right now. Doors standing wide open mean there is a place where help reaches you. Finding the doors shut, by contrast, signals that the time has not come, or that you have closed your own heart.
A temple or a church sells you nothing, and is one of the few places people still go to of their own accord. Traditional reading treated such places as where benefactors dwell and read them broadly well.
Readings by Situation
Praying at a temple or church
A good sign that your mind eases and help arrives. Tradition read praying in a sacred place as a wish reaching its mark. If you have hoped for something a long time, this reads well.
Entering a sacred place
A sign that a sheltering force reaches you. Tradition read crossing the threshold as meeting a benefactor. With something hard ahead, take it as help on its way.
Finding the doors closed
You get as far as the door and turn back. The doors of a temple or a church open when their hour comes, so this reads not as being shut out but as arriving before the hour.
Seeing a ruined temple or church
A sign that something you lean on is unsteady. Tradition read a damaged sacred place as a time for checking. Read it as a nudge to attend to what you have deferred.
This dream does not foretell anything about a particular religion. Temple or church, in a dream it appears as a place to set your load down for a while — so ask whether you have been getting any real rest anywhere.
