Quiet monastery
A working monastery in its ordinary hours — a household whose daily structure is prayer.
A quiet monastery in a dream is the dream's image of a household whose daily structure is prayer and whose noise level is part of the practice. The monastery is not deserted; it is at work. The dream brings the monastery when something in your life — a long discipline, a chosen withdrawal, a personal religious or contemplative practice — is being conducted by an ordered daily rule that the world outside would call boring. A monastery in its quiet routine is the dream affirming the chosen form. A monastery in which the routine has cracked, the bells no longer rung on time, is the dream noting that the structure that made the silence work has begun to fail, and the silence is going to become a different and harder thing.
