Dreaming of Lumber
lumber, planks · mostly negative, with one happy exception
Lumber foretells hard work for little reward, unless it burns, a sign of unexpected profit.
What happens in the dream
- Lumber: difficult tasks with little pay or pleasure
- Piles of lumber burning: profit from an unexpected source, the one happy omen
- Sawing lumber: unwise dealings and unhappiness
How you felt
- Weariness: the dream may reflect work that wears you down without feeding you
- An urge to build: it may express a project still in rough form
Ask yourself
- Does my work give back as much as it takes?
- What do I want to build?
