Roof

Roofs on houses can be seen as the mind or psyche of the dreamer; what belongs on top (consciousness) or protection from the outside. This is why it is very common to dream of your roof leaking, falling apart, tearing down, construction as you make changes within everyday. They are considered negative dream omens, but its your unconsous hinting at a need to fix and repair these past issues that are still hindering you today.

House will be constructed

A leaking roof is symbolic of idleness. A damaged roof is symbolic of laziness, Eccl. 10:18

When the dream setting focuses on a roof, there is a sense that you are moving beyond the 'ceiling' or the limitations that previously held you back. Just prior to make a career change, you may dream of being on the roof of your work building as a symbol of gaining a broader perspective and going 'outside' of the work environment. The roof of a house can portray ideas or the philosophy that helps you weather the vicissitudes of life. Since the roof protects us from bad weather and allows the elements to 'roll off,' dreaming of a roof can be a message about going with the flow as much as it can symbolize the limitations you put on yourself.

In a dream, a roof represents a noble and a well respected woman or man. If one sees himself running on top of a roof in a dream, it means that he will be struck with a calamity. Sitting on top of a roof in a dream during the summertime means comfort, dispelling aggravations, recovering from an illness, or divulging secrets.
