Sleeping Courthouse in dreams
A building of formal judgement — a private dispute placed in front of public rules.
How sleeping changes the reading
The base reading of Courthouse
A courthouse in a dream is the dream's image of a private matter that has been moved into public, ruled space. Courthouses do not generate truth; they apply rules to a story and produce a binding outcome. The dream brings the courthouse when a dispute in your life — internal or external — has reached the stage of being judged according to standards larger than the people involved. A courthouse you enter prepared is the dream telling you the case is ready to be heard. A courthouse you cannot find the right room in is the dream noting that the formal system you have invoked is bigger than you, and the process itself is the first thing you have to learn how to navigate.
