Altar
A raised place where offerings are made — a small, deliberate centre for ritual.
An altar in a dream is the dream's image of a small, deliberate centre for ritual. The altar is where the offering is set down and where the asking is addressed. The dream brings the altar when something in your life — a practice, a vow, a regular act of attention — is currently being given the kind of weight a ritual centre carries. An altar tended with care is the dream affirming the practice. An altar cluttered with unrelated objects, the offerings no longer distinguishable from the household items, is the dream noting that the ritual centre has been overrun by ordinary things, and the focus the altar was meant to hold has been lost.
