Foundation
To dream of the foundation of a home or building represents your core or fundamental strengths. A support system. Something you have or live with that gives you a sense of stability. The groundwork or framework of your success or power.
To dream of laying the foundation of a home or building represents important first steps being taken to insure stability for the long term. Getting yourself well prepared before making a big decision. Laying the groundwork of a relationship or project. Making good or powerful start.
To dream of a cracked or damaged foundation to a home or building represents feelings that your core strengths are effected. A powerful sense of support or accomplishment may feel compromised. It may also reflect feelings about a major oversight.
Example: A woman dreamed of seeing a foundation to a house ready for a home to be built on top of it. In waking life she prepared to leave her job for another job not realizing that her current boss would never sign her resignation form to release a pension. The foundation in this case may have reflected the dreamers naive feelings about being perfectly prepared with a "foundation to a new career" to build a new happy life without conflict.
