Dream Symbol · Universal Language of Mind
taking action upon your imagined ideas
An 'Invention' in a dream represents taking action upon your imagined ideas. An invention is something that did not exist before -- it was first imagined, then brought into physical reality through action. In the Universal Language of the Mind, this reflects the process of taking what exists in your imagination and making it real. This is the complete creative cycle in action. First, you imagine something new (visualization). Then, you take action to bring it into the physical world (activity). The invention is proof that the cycle works -- thought becomes thing. When an invention shows up in your dream, it is calling for you to take action on the ideas you have been imagining. You have been visualizing something new -- a new way of being, a new project, a new direction for your life. But visualization alone does not complete the cycle. You must act. The formula is Ideal + Purpose + Activity = Success. You have the ideal. You have the purpose. Now add the activity. Bring your invention into reality.
