An interpretation of constructing dreams

An interpretation of constructing dreams

This interpretation is from ""The Dream Interpretation Dictionary: Symbols, Signs, and Meanings" and is provided by J.M. DeBord aka "RadOwl". He is the author of several acclaimed books about dreaming, the host of The Dreams That Shape Us podcast, and is a moderator of r/Dreams, one of the largest dream sharing communities on the internet. Your life is usually in a continual state of construction, and dreams show that figurative sense of the word as literal. Think of construction as a physical representation. Construction can mean that your life or an area of it is built up or expanded—outer life or inner life. For example, when having a child you might dream about adding a room onto your house. When expanding your beliefs you might dream about building a church or garden. When expanding your mind you might dream about adding shelves to a library or buildings to a university—a way of saying that your personal universe is expanding. See: Buildings Constructing a road can symbolize “making inroads,” meaning making progress or building a mental or emotional connection with a person. Alternately, in can symbolize the road of life, and building it suggests creating your own path or doing things your own way, or blazing a new trail. Building a bridge can mean bridging a gap. See: Bridges, Highways, Roads To really grasp this use of the symbolism, think of the ways construction can be used as a metaphor for building your life and your mind. What is your foundation? Your self-respect, values, morals, ethics, principles, fortitude, inner strength, health. What protects you like a roof or walls? Personal boundaries, psychological and emotional defenses, ability to make money, thinking and reason, knowledge and information. Your psyche is like a neighborhood and the structures in a psyche are the buildings and monuments of that neighborhood. That’s why when a person leaves the past behind and goes through big changes, it’s common to dream about his or her old neighborhood being demolished or attacked. See: Neighbors The idea of construction extends further to include constructing an argument and similar sorts of mental constructs. To look at the same subject from the opposite perspective, see: Destruction. See also: Bridges, Buildings, Cities, Destruction, Fences, Home, Neighbors, Roads, Skyscrapers, Universities, Wallets
