Islamic Interpretation
For a Christian dreamer, a church represents a place of devotion, faith, learning, piety, labor, renunciation, caution against sin, repentance, and sorrow—possibly involving tears. It may also signify hardship, affliction, false accusation, heretical ideas, oppression, a trade association, a gathering hall, games of chance, intoxicants, public drinking, community events, marriages, or a spouse. In a vision, a church can stand for its congregation, religious district, clergy, priest, or minister. Witnessing a church converted into a synagogue, or a synagogue into a church, suggests suspicion, a dispute, or a plan to avoid lawful dues. Finding oneself in a synagogue may indicate a conversion to Judaism. If one's home transforms into a church, it implies conducting business from the residence or a conflict with an employer. A church in a dream can also symbolize a graveyard, admission of sins, a woman of ill repute, a venue for music, or a place of detention. For a woman dreaming she is at a wedding or funeral service in a church, it could foretell widowhood in waking life. (See also Circumcise, Temple)
