Praying
Turning toward what is larger — and asking for what you actually need.
Praying in a dream is the dictionary's image of turning toward what is larger than your daily life and asking for what you need. The dream tends to appear when you have been carrying something too big for the everyday level of your mind.
Where you often see it. Praying alone. Praying with strangers. Praying at a familiar surface — a window, a table, a wall. The dream uses praying for turning toward what is larger — and asking for what you actually need.
What it is not. Praying in a dream is not always about religion. The dictionary reads it as the dreamer's act of formal acknowledgement.
