Mason
A worker in stone — a maker whose craft outlasts the maker by centuries.
A mason in a dream is the dream's image of a maker whose craft, done well, will be standing centuries after the maker is gone. The mason shapes stone for buildings that have to last; the joints are cut for the long count. The dream brings the mason when something in your life — a teaching, a body of work, an institution you are building — is being made in the kind of material and at the kind of scale that will outlast you. A mason placing the stones with care for the long alignment is the dream affirming the long view. A mason rushing the bonds to finish before winter is the dream noting that the work was sized for centuries and is being completed against a deadline that does not respect the design.
