Some dreams leave you quite confused when you wake up. This is the case of dreaming of nuns, a most disturbing dream that leads you to rethink many things of your life and your personality. Discover in our Dream Dictionary all the related meanings of dreaming of nuns.
Even if you are not a person close to religion, culturally you have assimilated to nuns as people with a clear vocation and who, on many occasions, are at the service of others. This symbolism of the nuns is one of the most frequent interpretations of this dream in which you try to find that altruistic part of yourself and you rethink your relationship with the environment. Do you want to be a better person?
Nor can you separate the dream with nuns from your most spiritual side. It is common to dream of nuns when you are looking forward to finding emotional balance, when you are looking for some mental tranquility or your inner peace. In an attempt to be more satisfied with yourself, your subconscious resorts to the nuns to indicate the path of calm.
The most obvious feature of the nuns is their commitment to God. This does not mean that the nuns reach your dreams to listen to the call of religion, but to warn you that you are taking your life very lightly, which perhaps is time to acquire more responsibilities, to mature and commit yourself with yourself. Being faithful to yourself is the greatest degree of commitment.
The interpretation of dreams in which nuns appear depends on what happens in sleep and your own vital context. We can start with the meanings of dreaming of more encouraging and positive nuns.
+ Dream what you live in a nun convent
In this dream calm and tranquility are the main sensations. You live in a community where you all cooperate, help you and take care of yourself. You are surrounded by silence and introspection and, even if you do some (or many) jobs and even if you have some responsibilities, it is true that life goes more slowly than in the outside world. Do you need to disconnect?
+ Dream that you are a nun
It may not even go through your head and it is a dream that has nothing to do with religion. Dreaming that you are a nun symbolizes your need to commit to something, to find a meaning to your life, to give it meaning. We all go through moments of loss or vital crisis and that is when we realize that we are not leading a significant life. What can you do to change it?
+ Dream with nuns helping others
Solidarity and altruism are present in this dream that is perhaps inviting you to make a change in your relationship with the environment. Taking care of oneself is fundamental but what do you tell me about others? Maybe the time has come to look around and hold your hand to those who may need it.
+ Dream that a nun is your best friend
This dream speaks of certain needs you have when expressing your feelings. In real life a nun is not the most appropriate person to tell him according to what things, but in dreams the nuns represent that kind of guide or counselors that you need right now. Sometimes, we do not find who to talk about our concerns, so you better wake up and think who could play that attentive listening role that the nun exercised in your dreams.
+ Dream with nuns making sweets
It is one of the most frequent dreams at Christmas, although you can also have it at other times of the year. Generally, in the dream you go to a convent to buy their sweet artisans and you find many nuns concentrated in their task. A task that is still sweeten the lives of others, so it is a happy dream and also an invitation to do the same.
+ Dream with nuns on the beach
This dream can surprise you because the nuns are usually in their convents and not on vacation on the beach but why not? More than a dream is a proposal to see things from a different perspective, so that you do things differently and that you dare to do all those things you are looking forward to and that you are not supposed to do.
You can imagine that the meanings of dreaming of nuns are not always positive. There is a very negative aspect in the symbolism of the nuns and that can make your dream become a real nightmare and is related to the feeling of guilt. Very often the nuns appear in your dreams as a reproach for some behaviors that or did not realize or did not want to recognize.
+ Dream what you kill a nun
Do not be alarmed at the violence of this dream because the nun represents your conscience and is precisely what you are taking off. If you feel guilty with reason or for social or family pressures, your dream does not say. You will have to check that after sleep you feel released or even more guilty.
+ Dream with a nun school
The most frequent dream with a nun school or a boarding school is negative because the sensation is confinement, lack of freedom and indoctrination. And in your real life you have never been in a college of nuns, it is not necessary, because sometimes the family, the group of friends, the couple or society itself makes you feel enclaustrada and without freedom of movements.
+ Dream that a nun scolds you
What have you done so that this nun you dream of being scolding you? Maybe he is screaming or even hitting. In short, the nun is punishing you for your attitude but it is worth asking, does punishment make sense or is it just a demonstration of its power? Wake up and analyze whether you are living a hierarchical relationship that has become an abuse.
+ Dream what a nun chases you
You are running trying to a nun who wants to hurt you in some way. We hope you get it, we hope you do not reach that nun that represents all your prejudices and your past, all that does not let you advance and keeps you stagnant in the same place. Keep running and wake up as soon as possible so you can move on.
