Household shrine

A small shrine inside the home — the household's private place for daily devotion.

A household shrine in a dream is the dream's image of the family's private place for daily devotion. The shrine is not the temple; the shrine is the home's daily address to whatever the household considers larger than itself. The dream brings the household shrine when something in your life — a personal piety, an inherited practice, a quiet family ritual — is currently being kept by the small daily work of maintaining a specific place inside the house. A shrine kept clean with fresh offerings is the dream affirming the active devotion. A shrine abandoned in a corner, the offerings gone dusty, is the dream noting that the household has stopped keeping the small daily address, and the place that was the family's spiritual centre is now just another shelf.
