Library / Museum Dream Meaning

In dreams, a library can represent a storehouse of your experiences in life as well as your intellect.

If the library is well ordered, this suggests that you handle knowledge well.

If the library is chaotic, with books missing or wrongly shelved, this suggests that you may be suffering from information overload or have difficulty processing information.

If someone distracts you in the library in your dream, it may suggest that the ideas being considered in waking life are not worth your attention.

If you are working on your psychic and spiritual development, the library will have added significance as a place where the collective wisdom of humankind is collected. The more we develop psychically and spiritually, the more we have access to this collective wisdom— also known as intuition and the collective unconscious.

Like libraries, museums feed minds by giving people the opportunity to study objects from the past for their historic, scientific and artistic interest. When trying to interpret dreams about museums, any exhibit that caught your eye is important because it may be pointing to something from your own past that has a bearing on your present situation.

If your dream involved visiting a cinema or theatre, refer to the relevant entries in ARTS AND CRAFTS and LEISURE. [1]
