Churchyard
A churchyard often touches the boundary between memory and the living present — a place of rest, reflection, and the long view of a life. The dream may ask what you carry of those who've gone before you, and whether you walk among these stones in winter's grief or spring's quiet peace.
A live archive of what the world is dreaming tonight: which symbols are rising, the collective mood, and where the dreams are coming from. Free, always.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for churchyard, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream of walking in a churchyard, if in winter, denotes that you are to have a long and bitter struggle with poverty, and you will reside far from the home of your childhood, and friends will be separated from you; but if you see the signs of springtime, you will walk up in into pleasant places and enjoy the society of friends.
For lovers to dream of being in a churchyard means they will never marry each other, but will see others fill their places.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream of a churchyard, is a sign you will have a long and happy life.
