What does dreaming about city mean in the Bible?
Community and destiny — the city with foundations
In Scripture
Scripture's story ends not in a garden but a city — the new Jerusalem, coming down from God. Abraham looked forward to "the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God." A city in a dream can speak of community, calling, or the longing for a home that lasts.
