Question
Hello, honorable Rabbi. I dreamed about a dove. I'm not quite sure if it was in my house or not, but I think it was, and that it was in my room. It came in through the window, perched on my shoulders, and wouldn't let go. I hit it, it flew to the floor, its back was cut, its flesh was visible, and it was bleeding, then it escaped through the window. Could you tell me what this might mean?
Answer
Hello,
Generally, dreams have no significance in our times.
We are inundated with information, sounds, and images, and a person dreams about what they think and see during the day.
Therefore, the correct approach is to tell yourself that it means nothing and continue with life.
If, however, you feel that the dream is troubling you and trying to distract yourself doesn't help, you can do two things. A. Pray for a good dream during the Priestly Blessing [printed in prayer books, especially in the High Holiday machzorim].
B. Perform a dream amelioration in front of three people. It is important that these are people who love you. There is no need to tell them what the dream was. The text is also found in many prayer books.
