God

The source, or the ultimate authority

What it often means

To dream of God — or a vast higher presence — touches the part of you that reaches for meaning beyond the self. It can reflect a longing for guidance, a reckoning with conscience, or a moment of awe. The encounter says as much about your relationship to meaning as to any belief.

When it tends to appear

  • When you are searching for meaning or guidance
  • During moral reckoning or surrender
  • When something larger than yourself is making itself felt

Sit with these questions

  1. 1

  2. 2

    Where do you long for guidance you cannot give yourself?

  3. 3

    What does the sacred mean to you right now?
