Museum in a dream
A museum in a dream is read as respect for the past and for memories worth keeping, though not worth living in.
In folk belief a museum in a dream speaks of memories, old knowledge and things that have grown close to your heart. It is read as your thoughts going back to what was, so that you can better understand what is. A beautiful, bright museum means pride in the road you have traveled, and quiet halls mean peace with what has passed. The dream is believed to remind you that the past is a place to visit now and then, before stepping back out into the sun.
