"The mind is the builder."

Over relatively recent times I have had a series of dreams with a similar theme, but not quite what I would term a thematic dream. The theme is that of my refurbishing, as manager, various of my one time plantation bungalows. This refurbishment was interior and major, usually involving extensive re-plastering of the walls, new fittings and a new colour scheme amongst other improvements and all this was in charge of my one time building contractor, Herath, with whom there was much dialogue about the work. Herath was a good, dependable and honest man whom I respected.
I could never quite see the significance of these dreams but, a few nights ago, when I was in the hypnogogic state, this suddenly struck me: “The mind is the builder”*, the builder is Herath, the bungalows represent various aspects of my life, therefore I am improving my state of being in consultation with my mind.

[* “The mind is the builder” is a frequent Cayce readings statement.]

This now allows the interpretation that at various times along the way I (Spirit), with the help of my mind (moul), was involved in significant spiritual self-improvement, with the various bungalows perhaps symbolic of the level of each particular refurbishment because each bungalow reflected my seniority and responsibility as I progressed in my real life career in plantation management. I was very successful in my planting career so the symbolism is very appropriate!

Cool Ian. I appreciate the demonstration of logic underlying how to string images together, how ever, am curious how great an asset this scenario is able to benifit you, aside from affirmation of a life well lived in chosen field.

Leo, let me first say that subsequent to my post it dawned on me that houses also, and perhaps more specifically, symbolize the body. In that case the rooms where the main work was done was more often than not the huge bathroom/toilets, and, if I remember correctly, the living areas. These areas would, in this context, symbolize elimination, cleansing and living.

Your question is a good one and I suppose the purpose is feedback; a monitoring of progress, all of which is bolstering in addition to being informative. In the period covered by these dreams I have cured myself of cancer, silicosis, the consequences of severely damaged neck vertebrae and a lot more of lesser significance.
Your question and the above should benefit many members. Thank you on their behalf!
