Walking past church: not entering into contact with the best in us—or our anger towards dogma. Example: The priest was going to question and assault my friend in connection with some opinion he had offended the church with. I went to stand near him to give him moral suppon, and physical help if necessary. I hated seeing anybody degraded.
The priest saw my move and sent three thug type men to shoulder me out. They surrounded me to knock me down. I went beserk and knocked them all over the place with kicks and punches’ (John P). In the example John sees the dogmas of the Church as an assault and degradation of human qualities of love and moral suppon. ... church, chapel, temple dream meaning

Dreaming Lens: What kind of church was in your dream? What was the denomination or religion being practiced there? What state was the church in? Was this a church or temple from your daily life? Why were you there?
Personal Focus: Churches, temples, and mosques are the center of spiritual life for any community. Just like a house in a dream, any building can be interpreted as representing one’s current sense of self. In this way, any place of worship ultimately points to your relationship with spirituality and religion. Because this element of life can be particularly controversial, it is very important that you make a clear distinction between the universal meaning of church as connecting to matters of spirituality and whatever personal feelings you harbor about organized religion.
The state the building is in is an important part of your interpretation. A church or temple that is in disrepair is likely pointing to your spiritual life suffering through neglect. A more modern building may connect to newer spiritual perspectives whereas an older structure may correlate with a more traditional viewpoint.
What is happening within the church or temple in your dream is something to consider as well. If the event in your dream is in alignment with the typical uses of such a place, a more literal interpretation may be in order. However, if there is a contradiction taking place, your own sense of spiritual confusion or inconsistency may be what is being expressed.
A church has long been synonymous with safety from worldly dangers in the form of protective sanctuary. A person could be considered safe within the confines of a church from all enemies, political and spiritual. Once inside, an individual cannot be harmed by the enemy, whether that enemy is the government or a legion of demons. Consider the possibility that this dream image is suggesting a need to receive the ultimate level of protection from unseen dangers. ... church/temple dream meaning
