Chapel

A chapel in dreams often speaks to a longing for sanctuary or reconciliation—perhaps with others, perhaps with parts of yourself you've set aside. The structure itself may matter less than what you hoped to find inside: solace, clarity, or simply a moment's pause from the world's competing claims.

Miller 1901

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
