Building

Buildings, Big building, Unfamiliar building

Buildings in dreams often stand in for the structures you live within, such as work, family or the way you've arranged your days. A solid, well-kept one says those foundations are holding up. A building full of people you know may mirror your workplace or your circle of friends. If it was strange to you, yet you knew your way around, you may be more at home in a new situation than you realize. A building that looks fine outside but feels wrong inside can come from a sense that something looks better on paper than it feels in practice.
