Creation, ambition, constructing identity

Building
Building in dreams represents the active construction of your life, identity, or projects. What you're building and its condition reflect your creative efforts. Building a house suggests constructing your identity. Building with others represents collaborative creation. A building collapsing mid-construction suggests fear of failure or undermined efforts. The tools and materials used add additional meaning.
Hospital
Hospitals represent the need for healing — physical, emotional, or psychological. Being a patient suggests vulnerability and a need to allow others to help. Working in a hospital may indicate a healing role in others' lives. An emergency room visit reflects urgent emotional needs. A hospital can also represent fear of illness or mortality.
