Tools

'Tools' in a dream represent the mental tools you use to accomplish your goals and stimulate growth. Just as physical tools allow you to build, repair, and create in the material world, mental tools allow you to build, repair, and create within your mind. These include your reasoning power (memory, attention, imagination), your concentration, your visualization ability, and your will power. Pay attention to the type of tool and its condition. Each specific tool has its own interpretation, but tools in general represent your capacity to do mental work. Are the tools in good condition and being used skillfully? Or are they rusty, broken, or missing? When tools show up in your dream, assess the condition of your mental tools. Are you sharpening them through daily practice? Or have they been sitting unused, gathering dust? Your mental tools are the instruments through which you create your reality. Keep them sharp, keep them ready, and use them daily.
