Synagogue
A Jewish house of worship and study — a place where scripture is read aloud and a people gathers in covenant.
A synagogue in a dream is the dream's image of a place where scripture is read aloud and a people gathers in long covenant. The synagogue is not a private chapel; the building exists to be a congregation, and the reading of the text is the centre of the room. The dream brings the synagogue when something in your life — an inherited tradition, a long collective discipline of study, a community held together by a single kept book — is currently the structure inside which you are or were located. A synagogue full for the reading is the dream affirming the held covenant. A synagogue locked, with the text still inside but no congregation, is the dream noting that the building stands and the community around it has thinned, and the text is being kept in a room that no longer hears it read aloud.
