What does dreaming about church & temple mean in the Bible?

God's dwelling — a temple that is now His people

In Scripture

The psalmist was glad at the call to God's house, and the New Testament turns the image inward: you yourselves are God's temple, and His Spirit dwells in you. A church in a dream may stir a call back to worship, community, or the awareness that God has made His home in you.
