Foundry Dream, Alchemy

An odd dream about gloop.. like vibrating mud :P (This could have been to do with the epic conversation I had with my neighbour about the philosophy of numbers)


Then a wired dream of being in an old and epic looking foundry. I was running and jumping all-over things... off cranes, and drops and up huge steels. Jumping over fires, it was really fun.
Then this grumpy foreman comes and yells at me, he states...
'If your going to act like a monkey, I'm going to treat you like a dog' Then he puts a chain on me, attaches me to a metal crane and gives me a bowl of water.

Thoughts, 

Hummm, so thinking in symbolic terms... if the Foreman is my ego/sensible me then he could be referring to my instinctual side's behaviour.

Sooo both dog and Monkey are animals in the Chinese zodiac.. I wonder if they can tell me anything.

Monkey Changeability    -     Changeability without being constant leads to foolishness.
Dog Fidelity      --    Fidelity without amiability leads to rejection.

Sooo the Monkey and the Dog are both Yang, humm
Soo could the foreman be the Yin then?   

Foundry  'A foundry is a factory that produces metal castings. Metals are cast into shapes by melting them into a liquid, pouring the metal in a mold, and removing the mold material or casting after the metal has solidified as it cools. The most common metals processed are aluminium and cast iron. However, other metals, such as bronze, brass, steel, magnesium, and zinc, are also used to produce castings in foundries. In this process, parts of desired shapes and sizes can be formed.'

Fire, Metal seems to suggest Alchemy... which would also tie into the other symbology.
