One of the conditions that distinguishes man from animals is his ability to reason. This factor has led him since the beginning of humanity to use objects . Which have facilitated the tasks that he has to perform and allow him to live in a more comfortable way.

These objects that facilitate the work of man , are called tools. Which have been evolving, over time and the various civilizations, hammers, chisels, levers, etc., have been their allies. So it should not seem strange to dream of one of them.

There are tools of all kinds and they are not only limited to classic work, there are those related to simple tasks, or the most complex. Those of mechanics , or those of gardening, they all have the same function, to facilitate the life of those who need them. Even the objects with which we work in the office or those we use when we go to class can be considered a tool.

Therefore, dreaming of tools in a figurative sense can mean some work or task that you have left suspended . Perhaps, you have not wanted to face it, either because of laziness, bewilderment or ill will on your part. So it could be a reminder of what you have pending and you should give immediate attention to be able to finish the unfinished.

However all the interpretations change substantially around the tools depending on the situation you face during the dream. Above all, considering the impression that these cause you when dreaming and the industriousness that you grant them.

Tools and their relationship to work

When dreams are present as a tool and combining the work that we are developing, it is an indication that we are doing things properly . It is a good sign and a reason to continue doing your job in the best possible way. It could be the foretelling of times of prosperity, or rewards of increases for a well-done deed.

If you are working with tools and when you dream you feel a weight on you, tired and markedly fatigued , it is a sign of wear, physical or mental . It is an unequivocal warning that the work you do is causing you deterioration and you must control your working hours for your health.

Dreaming of tools can also be related to the obsession that the dreamer may have with work, so much so that the subconscious is claiming. Because you are putting aside your family, personal relationships and even your health, if you have come to forget to eat.

If you dream, for example, of a blacksmith or carpentry , where the hammer is used frequently, pay attention. Perhaps it is a direct sign that you must do hard work, since since ancient times this tool has been a benchmark of hard effort.

The dream will always be a guide to what the subconscious wants to manifest to you, the tools, the means to obtain the desired future benefit. It is positive that you are making an effort with this object, in pursuit of a fair profit, raising your awareness of the environment and teamwork.
