The Mystic Dream Book

by Stephen Girard
For a man to dream that he is busy at work, denotes, if it is not his own trade, that he will never be able to gain a livelihood by any other means than those he is then engaged in. For one to dream that he is working at his own trade, shows that the person is not very fond of hard work, but will not have the skill or advantage to rise from his present position in the workshop. For a woman to dream that she is hard at work in household duties, portends increased family attentions will be needed in a very short time, and that additional cares may be required on her part.

The Big Dictionary of Dreams

by Martha Clarke
It could be that you are assuming some new position at work and the dream is giving you the necessary indications and tools so as to improve your methods. On the other hand, dreaming of a factory full of workmen signifies that you will soon complete your most ambitious projects; meanwhile, if it is empty, you should put more interest into the job.

If it is you who is occupying the factory, you will arrange a way to leave the situation.

Dreaming of workmen or of a factory is a very good sign. It foretells happiness in business and in love.

1- A workshop is a place that is productive. In dreams it symbolises the part of ourselves which creates projects which then become profitable for us, though not necessarily financially.

A workshop may often be where we meet others of like mind, people who are creative in the same way as we are. It therefore represents group interaction and talent.

3- A workshop often holds within it creative outlets this creativity can be used for the dreamer’s spiritual progression.
