A mosque is a place of worship for followers of Islam. Muslims often refer to the mosque by its Arabic name, masjid, Arabic: مسجد — Arabic pronunciation: [ˈmæsdʒɪd] (pl. masājid, Arabic: مساجد — [mæˈsæːdʒɪd]). The word "mosque" in English refers to all types of buildings dedicated for Islamic worship, although there is a distinction in Arabic between the smaller, privately owned mosque and the larger, "collective" mosque (Arabic: مسجد جامع, masjid jāmi‘), which has more community and social amenities. The mosque serves as a place where Muslims can come together for salat (prayer) (Arabic: صلاة, ṣalāt) as well as a center for information, education, and dispute settlement. The Imam leads the prayer. They have developed significantly from the open-air spaces that were the Quba Mosque and Al-Masjid al-Nabawi in the 7th century. Many mosques have elaborate domes, minarets, and prayer halls. Mosques originated on the Arabian Peninsula, but are now found in all inhabited continents. HistoryGrand entryways and tall towers, or minarets, have long been and continue to be closely associated with mosques. However, the first three mosques were very simple open spaces on the Arabian Peninsula. Mosques evolved significantly over the next 1,000 years, acquiring their now-distinctive features and adapting to cultures around the world. From Wikipedia under the

In dream work, dream images are symbols with a referent meaning. For example, the dream image of a "tree" symbolized "the Self." I dreamed of a Moslem Mosque, but am unable to find in any dream dictionaries a meaning for the image. I suspect that Moslems know the symbolism of their temples, and would like help understanding the image. Thanks!
