CITY / TOWN

1- Dreaming of a city, particularly one known to us is to be trying to understand our sense of community; of belonging to groups. We will often, through dreams, give ourselves clues as to what we require in the mental and emotional environment in which we live, and a bustling city may show our need for social interaction.

A deserted city may portray our feelings of having been neglected by others.

2- A city usually has a core community, and we sometimes represent the place of work or opportunity in this way.

3- A spiritual community to which we belong can be represented by a city, sincc a city was originally given status becausc it had a cathedral.

One’s relationship with society, one’s sense of community, the mental and emotional environment in which one lives; in some dreams work and opportunity. Home town, town of birth: the familiar way of life; the way you usually go about things. Strange town: the new; different attitudes or way of life. Alone in a town: feeling isolated and out of touch. In a deserted town: outmoded social attitudes or way of life. Lost in a town, feeling uncertain regarding your place or direction in society. Idioms: go to town; ghost town, man about town, paint the town.

To dream of a city or town infers we are becoming more community minded. This is particularly true if the city in the dream is the hometown of the dreamer.
