Spiritual Meaning:
Ceremonies and rituals are used for initiation – to be accepted by a group – to achieve deeper awareness and to establish new order.

Psychological / Emotional Perspective:
Any major life change has a profound effect on the dreamer and this is very often shown in dream form as a ceremony or some kind of rite of passage.

Everyday Material Aspects:
When we dream of taking part in a ceremony or religious ritual we are conscious of a new attitude or skill that is needed or an important change which is taking place in our lives, perhaps a promotion at work or acceptance by our peer group.
