娱乐性解释：
To dream that you see a mason plying his trade, denotes a rise in your circumstances and a more congenial social atmosphere will surround you. If you dream of seeing a band of the order of masons in full regalia, it denotes that you will have others beside yourself to protect and keep from the evils of life.
To see stone masons at work while dreaming, foretells disappointment. To dream that you are a stone mason, portends that your labors will be unfruitful, and your companions will be dull and uncongenial.
