Discover the dream symbol interpretation and spiritual meaning

Biblical

Symbolic of Christ's death for our sins, Jn. 19:19. If the cross is colored the color has special significance to the interpretation. A cross can be on an animal or a person and be an indication of a false religious belief or demonic doctrine

Jungian

An obvious religious symbol, the cross can also be a burden in the sense of the 'cross you bare.' As the symbol of 'X' turned sideways, it may not be apparent how beliefs may be blocking your natural drives. Associated with sacrifice and resurrection, seeing a cross can symbolize how you are either sacrificing a part of your nature or must sacrifice something equally valuable, in an effort to achieve a sense of fulfillment.

Islamic (Ibn Sirin)

A cross in a dream represents a high ranking person who is worthy of respect or it could represent a religious person. Carrying a cross in a dream could mean marriage, or an unsuitable marriage, or begetting a son. Seeing a cross in a dream also could mean adultery, rape or conceiving a son in sin. Seeing a cross in a dream is also interpreted to mean death, opposites, opposition, war, fight, distress, temptation, lies, false testimony or slander.
