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.
Sun
The sun is the supreme symbol of consciousness, vitality, and life force. A bright sun represents clarity, optimism, and success. A rising sun symbolizes new beginnings, while a setting sun represents completion and the transition to rest. An eclipse suggests temporary blockage of vitality or consciousness. In Jungian analysis, the sun represents the conscious ego and the illuminating power of awareness.
