Psychological Dream Interpretation
Dream Explanation: Dreams in some aspects make you re-understand the truths you already know or remind you of them. If you understand the spiritual world as the true self and religion as content that reconnects people with their origins, then religious imagery helps enhance self-awareness. Various religious images exist in the world, but their existence cannot be expressed in any other way; they represent the spiritual world and, like the body and mind, are independent existences in life.
Psychological Analysis: If a person consciously or contemptuously rejects religious images while awake, then dreams will try to fill this gap, making you aware of the needs of the soul again. Hell appearing in a dream is a state of existence where everything is not what it seems. Hell symbolizes a life constantly besieged by negative fantasies, hence, hell represents continuous struggle.
Spiritual Symbolism: If you can accept the perspective that every truth has its viewpoint and every truth must return to fundamental principles, then all dreams can be interpreted from a spiritual perspective, especially religious imagery.
