Tools for creating knowledge [Ideal+Purpose+Activity]
'Pots' and 'Pans' in a dream represent mental tools for creating knowledge. In the Universal Language of the Mind, food represents knowledge. Pots and pans are the tools used in the kitchen to prepare and cook food. They reflect the mental tools you use to process your life experiences and extract the knowledge -- the lessons -- from them. Your experiences are raw ingredients. Your mental tools -- reasoning, attention, memory, imagination -- are the pots and pans that cook those ingredients into usable knowledge. Without these tools, your experiences remain unprocessed. You have them, but you do not learn from them. When pots and pans show up in your dream, it is calling for you to use your mental tools to process your experiences into wisdom. Are you learning from what happens to you, or are you just going through the motions? Pick up the tools. Engage your reasoning ability. Extract the lessons. Cook your experiences into the knowledge your soul needs.
