Example: A man dream of being at the Temple of Jerusalem holding a baby in his arms. He walks around the temple in a circle and then sees a snake disturbed by the child's presence and flees. In waking life, the man was having second thoughts about choosing to not have children with his wife. He suspected she was having doubts, too. In this case, being in Jerusalem may reflected social interaction with other people that felt the need to be viewed by others as being remembered as a moral person who had children, because people can often be considered immoral for getting old and not having children.

Example 2: A young man dreamed of seeing the Temple of Jerusalem being on fire and broken down. In waking life, he was questioning his life because he was young, not in school while waiting to be accepted, and having issues with his mother due to not progressing enough in life. In this case, Jerusalem may have reflected his feelings about his social interaction with his mother that made him feel like being remembered for having integrity and honesty was in jeopardy due to his lagging progress in life. The broken and burning Temple of Jerusalem might symbolize his perceived failure to live up to societal or familial expectations and the resulting internal conflict around his own self-worth and moral character.
