Dream About Catholic Church Ceremony Priest Blessing Mothers Uncomfortable Dress Encounter With Little Girl
Analyze my dream

This dream was about

I was in a Catholic Church with my mom. There was some sort of ceremony going on but I’m not sure exactly what kind of religious event it was. I was standing near my mom and the priest, who I recognized as father John from my childhood church. I was wearing a white dress that looked like the kind of dress porcelain dolls wear. He was praying and standing right in front of my mom. It looked like he was blessing her but for some reason she kept shooing him away each time he got near her. I was confused as to why she was doing that so I approached her and asked her why she was behaving that way with the priest. She told me it did not feel right because he was missing some type of symbolic item for the ceremony. I can’t remember what she called it. He came near her one more time and I could see my mom getting frustrated. I let him know that my mom was not comfortable with the blessing due to the item not being in the ceremony. He looked surprised but he understood and said they could not find it. They continued with out it and I walked back towards the back seats of the church. For some reason the priest followed me and said that he heard a couple of people talking about and laughing at my dress and wanted to make sure I was okay. I looked over at the people that were near me and it was 2 girls and a guy who looked around my age, they just stared at me and smiled. I shrugged my shoulders and said I didn’t really care because the only reason I wore the dress was because my mom asked me to and gave it to me. It was just for the ceremony. I got up from my seat and walked towards the front of the church to grab something and once again the priest followed me. When I bent down to grab a box from under a table, father John grabbed me from behind and put his body against my back. I asked him why he thought it was okay to grab me like that and said what the fuck are you doing. He responded that he was just making sure no one looked at me because of the dress I was wearing. I got pretty upset and I cursed at him. He walked away from the uncomfortable situation and I decided to go back to sit at one of the seats. This time I made my way towards the right side of the church and saw there was an open seat next to a little girl. When I approached her I noticed the bench was pushed up and I wasn’t able to sit down. Someone noticed and offered to put the seat down for me. When I sat down the little girl looked like she was alone and I started talking to her. I realized how uncomfortable the dress I was wearing was and wanted to go to my car to change into a spare outfit I had, which was more comfortable and more my style. I told the little girl I’d be right back and to wait for me. As I made my way outside to the parking lot, I woke up.

play/pause
Lily, your dream takes place in a Catholic Church, a setting that often symbolizes a search for spiritual guidance, moral introspection, or a connection to tradition and family values. The presence of your mom indicates a significant familial influence in this context, and her actions during the ceremony seem to reflect a protective instinct towards you. The priest, Father John, represents a figure of authority and spiritual leadership in your life, but his lack of a symbolic item suggests a deficiency in his role or in the ritual itself. The white dress resembling that of a porcelain doll symbolizes purity and perhaps a sense of fragility or being on display. Wearing it because your mom asked you to indicates a sense of duty or obligation to family expectations, even if it doesn't align with your personal comfort or style. The confusion and frustration your mom experiences due to the missing item could symbolize a deeper familial or spiritual discontent, something that feels incomplete or not quite right. When the priest follows you and mentions people laughing at your dress, it touches on themes of judgment and societal expectations. Your indifference to their opinions reflects a strong sense of self and a desire to assert your own identity, separate from external judgments or family pressures. The physical interaction with Father John that follows, however, introduces a disturbing element, suggesting a breach of trust and boundaries. This part of the dream might be highlighting issues of control and the misuse of authority, as well as your assertiveness in confronting inappropriate behavior. The encounter with the little girl and the difficulty in sitting down symbolize obstacles in finding comfort and stability in your current situation. The little girl might represent a younger, more vulnerable part of yourself, or it could symbolize innocence and the need for protection. Your decision to leave and change into a more comfortable outfit signifies a desire to break free from imposed roles and expectations, to embrace your true self and personal comfort. Overall, Lily, your dream seems to reflect a journey of self-discovery amidst familial and societal pressures. The recurring theme of discomfort with the dress and the actions of the priest suggests underlying issues with authority and imposed identities. Your interactions and decisions in the dream indicate a strong will to assert your own identity and find comfort within yourself, even when faced with external judgments or inappropriate behavior from those in positions of power.
