I have choosen to please myself but it does bother me very much that others cannot accept that, ya know, but I give up, in the words of "The Dude", "F**k it." I can't make everyone happy, I have a hard enough time making myself happy.

I don't know that it means anything significant one way or another. Suppose you had been reciting the alphabet instead - would you still be looking for deeper meaning?

Yes, I always try to find the deeper meaning. Mabye I shouldn't but I do. I have had too many dreams come true and so I take them cautiously, not all of them but ones like this, I try to see if there is a deeper meaning.

"To dream that you are praying, signifies a need to turn over some matter to a higher force and let it go. You need to learn to relinquish and let go of your worries. It may also be an indication that you need to pray more. "

For what it's worth... this is from a site that I use to check out the symbolism from my dreams...always interesting, anyways...

Thanks for the help, kinda strange though, an agnostic needs to pray more.

This dream could mean a lot of things, or it could mean nothing. I am a Christian, so my response to a dream like that would be to ask Jesus what he thought...But most of the time dreams are just that. Symbolically it could mean that you are afraid of following the crowd. Rest assured that no matter what, you have the ability to make your own choices and should.

I believe that humans have a power in their spirit regardless of where thier spiritual beliefs lie

. I have watched people do what others want them to without being asked or told. I would be careful of giving your dreams power. By acknowledging that your dreams come true, you might be giving them power to do so. I used to have the same problem...but I am learning that I don't need to give my power away so easily.

I'm not a psychologist or anything, but I have done some dream work as part of my therapy for depression/anxiety. It's important to remember that dreams are usualy based on some inner conflict and may have little or nothing to do with outside events, either past or future. Also, dreams are very personal - you can't just look up a book of dream symbols and "translate" your dream as if it were a foreign language - you have to ask yourself what the symbols in your dream mean to you. You mention that you were raised Protestant and became agnostic, but that you were then "converted" to Catholicism, seemingly against your own private misgivings, to judge from your post. You also express concern that you are too "impressionable," and that most of your friends and family are religious. Given that, I'd guess that your dream is an expression of your fear that you might once again be led my your impressionability, especialy towards those who are close to you, to adopt a belief system with is not really your own.

Hope that helps.

That's the christian answer for everything. Until it doesn't work... then it somehow becomes your fault or you didn't do something right.

Yeah that's basically what I get from it too.

And for once I agree with SOC, I think you're afraid of christianity.
