The cross is an all important symbol. For Christians it symbolizes what Jesus did to help them and save them from all of their sins. It symbolizes all of Jesus' sacrifices. This is a very important artifact to Christians but it is also important to note that to afford it any more respect than they already do would almost be idol worship. To a non-Christian, the cross symbolizes everything about Christianity, all that is behind it and all of the motivations behind it. The symbolism of the other definition of the word cross is a bit more obvious. In either case if you need a bit more elaboration on what these traits have to do with dream interpretation, this will be discussed below.
Because the cross is so sacred to Christians, if you are a Christian then this dream should have a lot of meaning for you. To dream of the device upon which Jesus sacrificed himself for your sins is to admit that you have not lived up to the expectations of Jesus. You have probably committed a few sins lately or done a few things that you knew were wrong and it's eating you up inside. You need to admit that what you've done is wrong and accept that you need to go back and change some of it if you can. Obviously you can't go back in time, but you might want to do reparations and ask for forgiveness for your sins. This is the most you can do. Basically this dream is trying to clue you into the fact that you haven't done as much good as you could have lately or lived up to the Christian credo.
If you are non-Christian and you are dreaming of the cross then this means that you are thinking about religion and spirituality and its place in your life. Even if you are part of another religion or not a part of religion at all, the cross has still taken on such a huge role and is still such a recognizable symbol that you can associate it with religion in general at this point. Of course this would be tantamount to sacrilege for a real Christian, but it is something that you need to know is okay for you as long as you are not Christian.
To dream that you are cross in your dreams in the angry sense of the word just means that there is something that has happened to you that you can't quite get over. Someone has probably done something that was just a little unsavory to you and you want to get over it but it isn't so easy. The best advice for you would be to just let things go and accept that you can't go back and change everything. Move on from where you are and that's it. It's the best you can do.
Dreaming of a cross foreshadows upcoming troubles—caution in affairs is necessary. Witnessing someone carrying a cross suggests an appeal for charitable involvement by missionary efforts.
The cross, with its intersecting lines reaching out in the cardinal directions, is a profound dream symbol steeped in historical and spiritual resonance. An emblem that has traversed through time, the cross in dreams is laden with connotations ranging from suffering and sacrifice to intersectionality and guidance.
When one encounters this powerful symbol within the dream world, it often serves as a proverbial flashing red light on the path of life—a harbinger of challenges and difficulties lying in wait. The vision of a cross looming in your dreamscape may be a call from your subconscious to brace yourself, to take stock of your current circumstances, and to gird your soul for trials that may test your faith in yourself and in the journey ahead. It signals a period where fortitude and resilience become vital tools, and the dream may be a reminder to set your affairs in order with the expectation of overcoming obstacles.
Dreams that depict another individual bearing a cross can carry a different shade of meaning. Such imagery is not merely an observation; it is an evocation. It invokes notions of empathy, service, and purity of purpose, suggesting that you may soon find yourself beckoned to support a cause that transcends personal gain. This altruistic appeal may come in the form of missionary work or the need to contribute to charitable endeavors. Witnessing the bearer of the cross in slumber is akin to witnessing a silent yet powerful call to harness your inner resources for the betterment of others, to lift the weight from their shoulders and to share in the collective burden of humanity.
Example dream with Cross symbol:
You're walking through an arid landscape under a scorching sun when you come across a cross planted firmly in the ground. Suddenly, a group of missionaries approaches, escorting a person weighed down by an immense cross, their face etched with exhaustion.
Upon awakening, the interpretation of this dream may reveal a dichotomy in your life experience. The stationary cross could symbolize personal trials and tribulations that are imminent, suggesting a need for preparation and careful decision-making. The vision of the missionaries might reflect an internal or external call to action—an inspiring push to engage with compassion and benevolence. It implies that despite facing your own crossroads or struggles, there is an opportunity and perhaps an obligation to reach out and assist those who shoulder their own crosses, be it through giving your time, resources, or support to humanitarian efforts. The dream invites you to balance self-care with selflessness and find strength in meaningful service.

Here's a way to approach the symbolic elements of the dream you described:
1. Friend: The presence of a friend in your dream could represent aspects of your relationship with this person or characteristics within yourself that you associate with them.
2. Cross: As a symbol, the cross has deep religious connotations for many, often associated with faith, spirituality, or burden. It can also represent intersecting ideas or aspects of one’s life. If you don't personally associate the cross with religion, it might symbolize something in your life that is intersecting or meeting at a point of significance.
3. Carving into Wood: Carving could suggest making a permanent or lasting statement or impact. It can also represent change or transformation, or the desire to leave a mark. That it’s carved on a cupboard—a piece of furniture associated with storage or holding items—might suggest a lasting impact on how or where you keep things mentally or emotionally “stored” in your life.
4. Chiding for Damaging Property: Scolding someone for damaging property could indicate a respect for boundaries, rules, or the status quo. It might reflect a part of your personality that values order and adherence to expected behaviors or responsibilities.
Given these elements, one way to interpret your dream could be that it reflects a conflict between established norms or boundaries (the office property) and personal expressions of belief or the desire to leave a mark (the carving of the cross). This could represent an internal conflict or a situation in your waking life where you feel someone is overstepping boundaries, or perhaps where you are questioning your own beliefs or the imposition of beliefs in a shared space.

I had a dream where I was opening a negative/evil portal and I’m not sure why. As soon as I started to I did the father, the son and the Holy Ghost gesture. I then began to carve a cross into the wood beneath my feet and pray for god to forgive me. I was very unnerved. What does this mean? Was it supposed to be a wake up call? Or is it because I miss my long distance boyfrifnd ( who is religious and I am not.) We saw each other a week ago and I’ve been missing him and depressed without him. Or is it something else entirely? Also before the portal part I was outside in the dark and some man came up to me. He tried “seducing me” or “hitting on me” in a way. I was not interested so I said I wasn’t interested. He lingered for a moment but then disappeared.

I had a dream where a lady I did not know well flipped-out on me, appearing to be possessed or very out of character, but I could not get any audio from them(hear them fuss at me). She expressed all the signs of anger and frustration, but I could hear my voice and not hers. There was a little black cross on her forehead that was not there in her original state. The events in my dream/vision has already played-out in my life with this person, but I wanted to share for insightful opinionated feedback. This dream/vision was based on a similar set-up from a previous version I had years or months ago, but she was the new character. More to this story, but that is the most important information. Thank you for your time and I hope to get some interesting feedback for this very accurate spiritual foreshadowing. 🙂 [ Email: ghost100@outlook.com ]
