Museum hall
A long room of displayed objects — the past kept on show for public viewing.
A museum hall in a dream is the dream's image of the past kept formally on display. Museums do not allow the visitor to handle the objects; the past is preserved at arm's length. The dream brings the museum hall when something in your own life — a phase, a relationship, a piece of history — has been moved out of active use and is now exhibited rather than lived. A well-lit museum hall is the dream affirming that the past has been honoured and placed in its proper context. A museum hall dusty and empty of visitors is the dream noting that the exhibition of your past is happening with nobody to look at it, including you.
