To dream with Thor's hammer

When you dream of Thor's hammer, it is a sign that your efforts will be successful, but for this they must serve a greater purpose than just your needs. You know that your endeavors will have a return, not everyone has this knowledge, as many feel insecure about the fruits of their efforts.

But if you think about a cause bigger than yourself, like finding a job that allows you to help others, or it could even be a social project, you'll find that your hard work will be rewarded, if only through a good feeling coming from your chest. It doesn't necessarily mean you'll earn more for it, but you'll certainly feel better about yourself.

To dream of a stone hammer

To dream of stone hammers suggests that you are carrying out your work or project with outdated equipment or people. In this case, try talking to your boss to explain to him/her that the cost and benefit of buying new equipment and show him/her that the project will go much faster and better with new material.

If it is the person who is pulling you back try to be patient, it is a great idea to try to enable her with a specialization course. If it is impossible, it would be hypocritical to keep her in the position out of pity, when her services could be better used elsewhere, after all, everyone has some way to contribute to society and feel satisfied with their own services.

To dream of a golden hammer

If you dreamed of golden hammers, this is a symbol that you will receive not very practical advice that looks better on paper than in practice. So be attentive to details, be rational and try to evaluate all the pros and cons of each "wisdom" you receive, people may have good intentions, but not many skills.

If the advice comes from family, try to explain that you are very capable of making your own decisions about your life and that it is possible that they are wrong about their opinions, but say this without accusing anyone of anything. You don't want fights in the family, these are the worst to correct.

To dream of hammer reflects the strength and hardness of the tool in the mind?

Not necessarily, it may mean that you will have to reinforce your convictions in the face of dissent from others, yet there is the choice of standing firm in your assertions or choosing that another opinion may also be right, in which case you are being malleable.

It could also mean that you hesitated in a situation and therefore lost an opportunity that you will no longer get, in which case you should, from now on, be very alert to new chances that will appear in front of you, so you can take advantage of them.
