Holy Communion
Holy Communion often touches the surrender of independent conviction for the sake of belonging or desire. The dream may ask where you're tempted to give up your own opinions to gain something frivolous, whether you feel worthy or unworthy at the table of acceptance, and what you'd be trading away to be admitted to the circle you long for.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for holy communion, 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 that you are taking part in the Holy Communion, warns you that you will resign your independent opinions to gain some frivolous desire.
If you dream that there is neither bread nor wine for the supper, you will find that you have suffered your ideas to be proselytized in vain, as you are no nearer your goal.
If you are refused the right of communion and feel worthy, there is hope for your obtaining some prominent position which has appeared extremely doubtful, as your opponents are popular and powerful. If you feel unworthy, you will meet with much discomfort.
To dream that you are in a body of Baptists who are taking communion, denotes that you will find that your friends are growing uncongenial, and you will look to strangers for harmony.
