Dreamt I was a sacrificial lamb?

Question

Last night I had this dream that my church wanted to sacrifice me and though I escaped and the priest wiped his hands of the situation, many people from the church still came after me... do you think there's any meaning to this dream?

Answer 1

religion is out to get you

Answer 2

Hahaha! That's an interesting dream!

Whenever I have strange dreams like yours, I like to go to this website: http://myjellybean.com/astrology/dream/d...

The dream dictionary there has TONS of words that you can look up! Try to remember any details of your dream and then look up the meaning behind it.

I looked up your key words, but you might have more details. So you could try piecing in all together.

Sacrifice

If dream that you are being sacrificed, it symbolizes your tendency to punish yourself. You may also feel that others don't appreciate you. If you dream of sacrificing yourself to save another, you are trying to find a way to express a part of yourself that has been neglected or ignored.

Lamb

A pleasant dream about a lamb means your romantic interest has your best interests at heart. If you have a bad dream featuring a lamb, you give too much of yourself in relationships.

Church

To dream about a church represents a need to be appreciated by those you love. Also see "Steeple"

Priest

To see a priest in your dream, signifies spiritual needs, rules, religious beliefs and moral guidance. If the priest in your dream is angry or disapproving, you feel like you are being over-protected or treated unfairly by authority figures. If the priest is skinny, this represents your guilt over being mean to others. If the priest was fat, this signifies your greed or laziness. Seeing a priest in your dream can also symbolize chastity and abstinence, a sign that you are embarrassed or ashamed about sexual issues or feelings.

Escape

To dream of escaping in a dream means you need to face something that you've been avoiding.

So deciphering this, I gather that you are probably feeling insecure or unappreciated by your loved ones. Am I hot or cold?

There... good luck interpreting!

Answer 3

You are probably facing a situation in life where your more inner personal desires which you may deny you even have are bubbling up and confronting your socially instilled and internalized ideas of morality. For example, if you were raised to always be dependent and your parents had a tight grasp on you, but you started to get an urge to student exchange in Paris, you might fight that urge or ignore it, or just not even try, because you've internalized the idea "i cannot do it on my own". So then when your feelings start to betray that internalized idea, the result is guilt, which, I've often associated church with guilt.

Answer 4

you've  done something horrible, and someone gunna get you back, for it, and it will reflect on how you are as a person

Answer 5

are you currently not attending church very often if so are you looking into other beliefs than what your church teaches and is the priest aware of your thoughts -or are you not attending church often but are being persuaded to return by other congregationers to take part in their chosen theology? need more info!are you fighting surrender to the Lord?if so the pastor may have given up on you but the church has not!!!

Answer 6

you will be scarifice for your religion

Answer 7

lambs r weak- religion to u  was more powerful than ur body.  the ppl comming after u r still going to do what they can to pull u back in ,in case u push them aside. the priest says at ur own will while others say no faith is more.

u might feel guilty over something or know what u need to do but havent took the time to do it n ur dream is a eye opener.

edit-i agree with jeff
