Building is to create different structures or items by hand. It is usually a strenuous activity and is referenced biblically literally and through parables. Dreaming that you are building could represent covenants with God, wisdom, a lack of wisdom, spiritual growth, promotion, labor, or a firm foundation.

Positive: To dream that you are building a temple or other structure could represent an opportunity for covenant with God. If you dream of a church being built upon a rock, it could symbolize protection from warfare and a firm foundation in Christ. Building could represent God’s grace on your life.

Negative: If you dream about building a house and the weather destroys the house, it could indicate a lack of wisdom. Dreaming of building a house on the sand could also indicate a lack of wisdom. If you see someone tearing down a building it could represent foolishness.
