Foundation dream
Posted: Sun Sep 06, 2009 4:26 pm
I had this dream the night of April 14th, 2009...actually it may have been early morning the 15th, the day when taxes officially are due here in the US. I would have posted the dream at another forum soon after dreaming it, except I was too uncertain about whether the dream meant something good or bad. So, I waited for a time to see how things were shaping up...might be a little of both. This is my first time posting it anywhere.
For many years my main job was in construction, framing new homes...so, it has a strong symbolism here.
I dreamed that I was helping get ready a footer of a concrete foundation for a new home. In this dream I could see myself working, in the basement hole and taking off the wood forms as you normally do the next day after pouring the cement.
Looking at the new footer, which soon would have basement foundation walls poured on, noticed something unusual happening. At first there seemed to be some water seeping up through the ground...perhaps we didn't realize a spring was just below the floor. In clay soil springs do in certain places come up like that after a basement hole is dug. Then the footer should be poured double thickness with plenty of reinforcement bar for stength...maybe even pilings.
I looked again but now steam was coming out of the ground, like a geyser ready to turn loose an eruption you see at Yellowstone National Park. I thought it would be best to grab my lunch pail and leave before something happens. Just then the groundd began to shake like an earthquake...got out of there quick leaving my lunch pail behind.
Up now above where it was safe, one of the guys who also worked on the footer brought me my lunch pail, he grabbed it while getting out quickly, just as I did.
All of a sudden the earth began to really shake, it seemed as if a volcano was forming in the basement hole. The hole started filling up with mud, as steam and hunks of mud were spewed into the air from the hole. I looked but didn't actually see any volcano or lava flowing out...it was still just steam and mud.
Everyone began to quickly run far away to escape whatever strange event seemed about to happen.
