Psychology
An unfamiliar place of worship may express interest in other cultures and values, or a door to unknown parts of yourself. Feeling at peace there suggests being moved by prayer in any form and rethinking your own anchors.
Folklore and history
A mosque is an Islamic place of worship where the faithful pray facing Mecca. Prayers are held at set times each day, traditionally announced from a minaret. Rows of people praying side by side embody a community of faith.

This site's view
In this site's view, notice where you stood. Quietly joining the rows means you long for companions facing the same way. Watching from the entrance suggests respect for a new world mixed with hesitation to enter.
Going deeper: our reading
On entering a mosque, people remove their shoes, and before prayer it is customary to wash hands, face and more with water. Mosque interiors are known for decoration not with images of people or animals but with intricate geometric patterns, plant motifs and beautiful calligraphy. In this site's reading, people who dream of a mosque want to find unexpected common ground and peace within cultures and ideas different from their own. Respect for difference and a wish for connection take the form of a place of prayer. Removing your shoes at the entrance shows readiness to shed assumptions and humbly meet new values. Gazing at the patterns reflects a wish to find order and meaning in what seems complex. This is our speculation, but simply sitting in the quiet prayer hall may reveal a search for a place of calm beyond words or forms.
What to do on waking
