Concrete Towers

I had dreamt a place entirely of concrete towers. these towers had stairwells wrapped around them like a corkscrew. The sun was forever setting along the horizon and I could not tell were it was setting, I just knew it was setting, as the orange hue of the light was like a sunset. The shadows would make almost jungle-like cascade of dark concrete and well lit concrete, because these towers that went on almost forever onto the horizon, they would differ in height. Some the stairwell would have pauses in the curvature to have a balcony with a door. Sometimes I thought I had saw someone dwelling within them, but all that was to accompany me was the sound of wind, and base of the towers which was soft sand.

I know there is meaning behind every dream, maybe I feel lonely, maybe I feel overwhelmed, I do not know. Places in dreams rather than people can tell more about the self than I thought possible. I have never once remembered a person in my dream that I did not personally know in real life. Perhaps it is because I am a man and we dream of things more than people and the contrary is true for women. What does that truly mean, is this my most natural state? an endless tour of geometry, or a journey to associate these places and have them become me, becoming the dream or person I dream. My truest state is solitude?

To me the towers are obvious phallic symbols. You have not found the warmth and closeness you need among males. There is the idea of climbing the tower, that is to rise in success. But this is not where your heart lies.
I am not sure your truest self is solitude. My instincts say you are being called to the company of women. I don't know if that is in a relationship sense or friendship as I know little about you. The dreams are telling you your state now: I am lonely. There is the sound of the wind, which is the nudging of the Spirit, the softness of the sand, like the softer qualities that may be found in a woman. The call to come down to the softness of the earth as well, away from the coldness of this concrete world. There could also be the pun of concrete. Your life is too concrete and needs the cultivation of the inner life of symbols and poetry.

pillars or columns symbolize support, stability, strength, and endurance. They can represent the foundation of your life, your beliefs, and your values, they can also represent a sense of confinement or restriction. The balconies could represent situations or aspects of the self that have been overlooked. While the sunset can symbolise that an old chapter in your life is coming to an end and it is time for a new one to begin. This to me represents a change of course or direction in your life is required in order to explore beyond these boundaries. I also see the sequence of nature, to which we are aligned to through our own geometric pattern, this is a good time to allow your subconscious to guide you, by addressing anything that you may have overlooked. While spirals are all about movement and action.
 
To me the towers indicate something that is making you feel strong and settled. The sunsets are maybe a symbol of something spiritual so I would say that you are feeling strong because of an interest in spiritual matters. Thats my guess but try this page as it offers some insight into castles in dreams which are a similar thing. CASTLES IN DREAMS

I believe that dreams link to conscious thoughts not unconscious thoughts. They are often a symbolic version of your own feelings from the day before or thoughts about the day to come. Just try to make associations with something that made you feel strengthened as a person the day before - especially as you were falling asleep.
