Symbols / A mosque

Dreaming about a mosque

A reading for meaning, not prophecy

A mosque is read as guidance, community, and the sacred — in the East a place of reverence and blessing (庙), in the West the temenos, the sacred inner space of the Self, in Ibn Sirin's tradition one's religion, a righteous gathering, or a source of guidance.

Three readings

In Chinese tradition · 周公解梦 · 庙

周公解梦 reads a temple or place of worship as 庙 — reverence, order, and blessing; to enter marks seeking peace or fortune from a higher source, to find it serene a matter settling well. It is the still centre one returns to.

In Western psychology · Jungian

Jung would read the mosque as the temenos — the sacred, protected space where the Self is met and the psyche does its deepest work. To enter is to seek the centre; its state mirrors your relationship to what you hold holy.

In Islam · Ibn Sirin

Ibn Sirin read the mosque as guidance, one's religion and practice, and a gathering for good — to build or enter one a turn toward righteousness or a matter of the community, its state reflecting the state of your faith. Framed as meaning: where do you seek guidance and belonging?
