What Do Prayer Dreams Mean?
More Times Than Not it’s All About HOPE
Prayer dreams can have several meanings. Very often, the dreamer will dream about prayer or about praying simply as a result of having prayed right before falling asleep. The beautiful process finds its way into the dream simply because it was the last thing the dreamer thought about or did.
However dreaming about prayer can also have another interpretation. Prayer dreams can indicate that the dreamer is currently “at the end of his or her rope” about a particular matter. Something in their life simply seems too large for them to handle.
Most people, when they’ve reached what appears to be the end of their rope look UP to Heaven… more specifically UP to God. Prayer dreams are the subconscious mind’s way of seeking the solution to a puzzle they can’t solve.
When this is the case, and the dreamer’s prayer indicates that – deep inside – they are hopeful of a positive solution to their problem.
If, in your dream you experience an answer to prayer – either one you prayed within the dream, or a prayer you’ve prayed while awake, it is a symbolism of hope.
By contrast, if you dream of NOT getting an answer to prayer, your hope is currently feeling a little shaky!
Another dream interpretation for prayer dreams has to do with the dreamer’s conscience. Some people will dream about prayer or praying when they feel guilty about something in particular. It’s as though they’re looking for forgiveness from God, other people, and (perhaps most importantly), themselves.
Only the dreamer will be able to tell which of these dream interpretations fits their situation.
What Does it Mean to Dream About a Kidnapping?!
My Cousin Was Kidnapped and Was Missing for Three Days…
I recently heard from a dreamer who’d had an unsettling dream. In his dream, his cousin was kidnapped and was missing for three days!
Although the information you see, above, is the only information I have about this dream – it’s actually enough.
Generally speaking, a dream about kidnapping means that the dreamer is afraid of losing something. This “something” could be anything from hair to a relationship – and a billion things in between. The kidnapping usually symbolizes the dreamer’s anxiety about what he or she is afraid of losing.
However, I feel that in this particular dream, there may be more to it. While this dreamer may, indeed, be afraid of losing something, I believe that he currently feels that something is “missing” in his life. The fact that the word “missing” appears in his brief description of the dream tells me that this is a vital part of the dream’s analysis and interpretation. I actually think the “missing” part of the dream holds the strongest symbolism.
In fact, the part about the cousin “missing for three days” was the final thing the dreamer said. When conveying a dream, very often the dreamer (without even realizing it) “ends” on what matters most. They end on the thing they subconsciously know is the most important.
The good news for this dreamer is the fact that, in the dream, the cousin was recovered. Not only is this a happier ending for the dream (and cousin!), it’s also symbolic of something very important – the dreamer is optimistic about “finding” what’s “missing” in his life. If he weren’t, I don’t believe the cousin would have been returned in the dream.
What could be “missing” in a dreamer’s life if they have a dream such as this? Just about anything really…
- A romantic relationship
- A job they’re excited about
- More money
- Excitement
- Relaxation
- Time spent with family
- Time spent with friends
- Etc…
The dreamer could even feel like they missed an opportunity.
At least this particular dreamer is optimistic about finding what they’re missing. My money’s on him!
Pig Dreams: The Analysis Can Go One of Two Ways
What Does it Mean to Dream About Pigs?!
Like a lot of dream interpretations and dream symbols, pig dreams can go one of several ways. The first one I’ll give is the most common analysis – but don’t be surprised if your dream’s meaning is more in line with the second one.
Pigs May Symbolize Someone Less Than Desirable
Although a lot of people (me, included!) find pigs to be too cute for words, the word “pig” is often associated with someone who lacks moral decency. “He’s such a pig!” is a common phrase for someone you either don’t want to know – or wish you didn’t!
If you dream of pigs, it could be symbolic of your feelings toward someone. You may or may not even realize you harbor these feelings.
Sometimes, the pig in the dream symbolizes the dreamer, him/her self. Guilt or remorse can make a person “act out” regret in their dreams.
Pigs May Symbolize a Feeling of Gluttony
Some people dream about pigs following something that makes them feel like a glutton. They probably even said something along the lines of, “I pigged out” or “I was such a pig!” the previous day.
Pig dreams are yet another example of how fascinating and fun our dreams are. The symbolisms we use never cease to amaze… or amuse… me.

What Does My Dream About My Husband’s Boss Mean?!?!
Relax, the Interpretation isn’t What You Think
I recently had a dream submitted for analysis that was simple and straight-forward: Why did I have a “dirty” dream about my husband’s boss? I don’t find him even the least bit attractive!
Yikes!
Most of the time, dreams – and thereby the dream’s interpretation – can go one of several ways. The reason for this is the fact that our brains (the director of all of our dreams) are the most impossibly complex things in the world. Trying to understand how a brain works is almost impossible. It’s difficult enough when we’re trying to interpret or analyze our own dreams and our own minds – but when it comes to analyzing someone else’s…. it can seem like an overwhelming task.
All I try to do is lead the dreamer in the direction I think his or her dream is headed and explain to them what their particular type of dream usually means. Many times, as is the case with this particular type of dream, the analysis and dream meaning can be one of several things. When the dream has several possible meanings, I always give the dreamer each one and then they, in turn, interpret which one “fits” their particular situation.
When a dreamer has a dream such as the one our dreamer described as “dirty” about someone they are not attracted to – the dreamer is always delighted to know that the interpretation is not a sexual dream at all. I can almost hear the dreamer breathing a sigh of relief right now!
A dream about desire or sex simply points to something the dreamer wants or desires in her/his own life. Obviously what this something is can only be identified by the dreamer. I think the thing that most concerns this particular dreamer is the fact that the boss was involved. There’s one of two reasons for this, and neither one means she has a “thing” for him!
- What she desires or wants could be related to her husband’s job, and therefore related to the boss. She could want him to make more money, have more time at home, get a raise, etc.
- The boss and the husband’s job may have absolutely NOTHING to do with what the dreamer wants. It’s possible that the husband talked about the boss during the day of the dream and this, alone, gave him a starring role in her dream… disturbingly enough!
As I always try to tell people who have had troubling dreams – we often give them far too much weight. Very often we dream of someone or something simply because we recently spoke of or thought about them recently. The danger of paying too much attention to a disturbing dream is that we FURTHER think about them, inadvertently inviting them back into our “sleep time movies!”
In other words, make peace with a dream and put it behind you.
