Building – Dream Symbol Interpretation
Buildings represent the life constructions of the dreaming. This are settings and religious positions which he has trained on account of his experiences, sensory perception and often on account of his informal habits and customs. Just as one can get to know about a person a lot if one gets to know his personal sphere, buildings in dreams also reflect character, hopes and worries of the dreaming: The purpose of the building stands often for the central subject with which the dreaming deals. High buildings show the striving for success, – low ones indicate at failures and discontent with own meaning in the life. The cellar rooms stand for the unconscious and all edged out hopes and wishes. The kitchen is the space in which is provided for our bodily welfare, points to the respect with the mother and with women generally. Their state also gives instructions to our own role as a mother or father. Sitting rooms and studies register as our soul manages with the demands of the everyday life and the working life. The bedroom refers of course to our sexuality, above all the conjugal one. The attic is, finally, also in the dream the storeroom for finished. Here edged out recollections are shown.
