Temple dream meaning is explained below using 27 different sources. Each interpretation is shown with its source.

Interpretation 1 — Patrica Telesco

(see Church, Holy Ground, Monastay, Sanctaaiy)

Temples have connections with ancient ideas, history, sacred beliefs, and rituals. While similar in meaning to a church, the theme indicated by a temple is not one linked to Christian ideals. What type of temple appears in your dream? A Japanese shrine, for example, has strong ties with Buddhist teachings regarding proper speech and action.

A Grecian temple, on the other hand, might relate to the development of oracular senses.

According to both Edgar Cayce and Carl Jung, this building, like other structures, may be an emblem for your body. Take special notice of the condition of each portion of the building for more interpretive information on your physical condition.

Esoterically, this edifice represents a personal astral temple, a place of safety, and learning on a higher plane.

The Templars, older Masonic mysteries, and other similar teachings tell of developing or finding such a place through meditation.

Interpretation 2 — Dr. Mıchael Lennox

You are dreaming of connecting to your spiritual nature in a more conventional way. 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 a temple as connecting to matters of spirituality and whatever personal feelings you harbor about organized religion.

If a temple is not your typical house of worship, your dream may be asking you to consider the similarities and not the differences between different sets of religious dogma.

1- Often in dreams a temple can signify our own body.

It is something to be treated with reverence and care. It has the same significance as a church since it is an object built to honour and pay respect to a god or gods.

2- Psychologically, wherever there is a temple there is a sense of awe associated with creativity. Perhaps the biggest significance in dreams is the fact that it takes many to build one temple. This links with our awareness of Lhe many facets of our personality which go to make a coherent whole.

3- Both as a sanctuary for human beings and as a place where the Divine resides, a temple reflects the bcautv of Heaven.

It is a microcosm (small picture) of what is, after all, infinite.

Interpretation 4 — Ibn Seerin

(Altar, Retreat, Sanctuary) Temples, sanctuaries or retreats in a dream represent security, peace, finding a shelter away from fear, and victory over one’s enemy.

A temple in a dream also represents children, weddings, benefits, profits, prudence, or having reservations about one’s dealings with others.

A Christian temple in a dream represents the clergyman who officiates the masses, or it could represent the recital of Psalms or Gospels therein, and it may denote offerings.
