Hi,

I dreamed I was a priest. I had to ebbay all these rules and I could hardly do anything. I lived in a church, and builders/people were making a new one for me. When it was finished, I remember the pillars were made of stone, But I could bump into them, and they would move like rubber. Very unstable. When I went outside, I remembered there being an alien. A typical green alien.

I was dressed in the typical priest-clothes, brown coat, etc. I was older though and I had grey hair.

What does this mean?

How do you feel about priests in real life? Have you had any experiences with priests. Were they positive or negative?

I think of priest as people that really sacrifice their life to show the whole world what they believe in. I never had experiences with priests though.

I think this might have to do with thoughts of what you will be like as you grow older. Not that you will actually become a priest, but that you will have to sacrifice some things and your life will be more restricted in a way.

The alien represents the idea of you totally changing.

I don't know what ebbay rules might mean - I could understand e-mailing rules, so that part threw me a bit.

The "rubbery stones" would lend to the thought that perhaps you feel the church is not as stable as it should be. Especially with it being a new church, built just for you.

And it appears that your congregation is not what you expected it to be, i.e., "alien". Or perhaps it is you who is the alien, and you've been called to lead a new world order with your wisdom [being older] and intelligence.

Just my two cents. What is going on in your life at this moment that tends to make you believe you need to be in control of some religious aspect of your life?
