Who had the dream
To a woman
According to the Psychological Dream Book, asphalt seen in a woman’s dream foretells her a smooth and calm period in all areas of life, a full cup and a strong family hearth. This is also a sign that she will be on her way to a new city, where life will be better.
To a man
According to the interpretation of the dream book of the healer Akulina, for a man asphalt, which appears in a night vision, is a symbol prophesying a long path to success, which will require persistent, sometimes even hard labor. However, the result will be worth it and prophesies not only a comfortable life for himself, but also for his children and grandchildren.
Pregnant
Interpretation according to the dream book of fortune teller Evdokia: for pregnant girls, asphalt seen at night predicts an unnatural birth and forced caesarean section. It may also be a sign of mistreatment by medical personnel.
Dream Interpretation - Black
The color black can symbolize the unknown - the shadows and secrets of your subconscious. Are there inner problems that you need to explore? The expression "in the dark" means confusion. Do you feel uncertainty about what path to take in your life? Black can also symbolize calming veils nights. Obviously, it's time to indulge in relaxation and dreams of life. The color black is also associated with despair and depression. Are you suppressing anger and disappointment? You should feel all the emotions. There are no bad emotions, but suppressed feelings can turn into depression and despair. If you are depressed, you should free yourself from the emotions that are the cause of this condition. Analyze them and take action. If this is not possible for you , find someone willing to help you. In Western culture, the color black is associated with mourning. Is there an area of your life that you are grieving? For some people, black symbolizes strength. The Chinese see black as good.
What kind of asphalt did you dream about?
New
New asphalt in a dream - according to interpreter Azar, dreams of the emergence of ideas that will contribute to your development and increase your earnings. Use your imagination to the fullest, and do not reject even the craziest thoughts, they can succeed. Don't stop, your path is open before you.
Old
Seeing old asphalt in a dream is a symbol that the paths you took are now closed, and you need to look for new ones. Do not knock on slammed doors, this is exactly the moment when it is better to try to crawl through the window.
Fresh
Prophecy from the English dream book: if new asphalt is laid in a dream, this predicts a change of place of work to a more promising direction. If you walk on newly laid asphalt, it means that triumph awaits you.
Wet
Seeing wet asphalt in dreams - according to Phoebe’s Big Dream Book, means unpleasant news that you will “digest” inside yourself for a long time. The best option would be to discuss them with someone whose opinion you completely trust and not make hasty decisions.
Liquid
The Chinese dream book interprets the dream as follows: liquid asphalt, especially if you dreamed about it in a nightmare, predicts a blockage in business that you will not be able to clear out alone. Get help if you don't want to fail. In addition, liquid asphalt may indicate that you are developing an alcohol addiction. Be careful with bad habits, or better yet, give them up completely.
Filthy
If in night vision you walk along dirty asphalt, this means that you will participate in intrigues and spread gossip about someone. Think about whether you need this and whether you should refrain from such behavior. The consequences of this can ruin your life for a long time and negatively affect your reputation.
With cracks
According to E. Avadyaeva’s dream book, a nightmare in which the asphalt is covered with cracks predicts problems, the successful solution of which will depend on whether you have time to react in time to abruptly changed circumstances. Don’t hesitate, have time to adapt to drastic changes.
Red-hot
Hot asphalt in a dream is a sign of impending violent conflicts that will literally knock the ground out from under your feet. Quarrels are possible both with your closest circle of family and best friends, and with colleagues on work issues, on which you have radically different opinions. It will be difficult to find a compromise in this situation, but you should not enter into confrontation by insisting on your decision. The best option for you would be to prepare balanced arguments showing the advantages of your choice, and try to convey them competently and clearly to your opponent.
Cold
Interpretation according to Valery Melnikov’s dream book: if in a night vision you feel cold asphalt under your feet, this is a sign that your partner’s feelings for you are beginning to cool, and you need to do something if you want to maintain your former passion. Arrange a romantic date or embark on an adventurous trip filled with adventures to refresh your emotions and rekindle fading feelings. If you choose to pull away now, it is very likely that there will be no turning back.

What color was the asphalt in your dream?
Black
The white magician Yuri Longo believed that black asphalt is a symbol that something bad and very large-scale is approaching you. Beware of an accident or disaster, avoid long trips and extreme hobbies. The best solution for you would be to wait for some time in silence and a calm environment.
White
According to Ivanov’s Newest Dream Book, asphalt, shining white, is dreamed of by those who have repented of their misdeeds and accepted their guilt. Such a dream means that you are on the path of correction, and nothing will make you turn away from it. For those serving a sentence, this is a harbinger of early release.
Yellow
Yellow asphalt seen in a dream should be a signal that it is time to take care of your health and pay attention to long-standing problems and chronic diseases. In particular, this dream should alarm those who have problems with the liver or pancreas.
Red
The father of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud, interpreted this dream as follows: if you saw red asphalt in a nightmare, this is an omen of loss, death and the loss of something significant to you. Such a dream should be a serious warning. Be as careful and attentive as possible, do not exceed speed and do not participate in races.
Green
Juno's dream book says that green asphalt is a symbol of a path without obstacles, the right road and the right choice. If it is overgrown with grass, it means that a successful outcome awaits in family affairs. Also, such a dream may be a sign that distant relatives will try to contact you and restore communication.
Multicolored
Multi-colored asphalt symbolizes relaxation and creative activities that will help restore emotional stability. If the asphalt is painted with crayons, this is a sign of time spent with children.
Dream Interpretation - Clean something
Brushing your teeth and seeing them beautiful and healthy means excellent health and good tone. For patients, such a dream promises recovery. Cleaning shoes or clothes - you will have a difficult struggle with competitors, but you will emerge victorious. Clean metal utensils - friends will help you solve your problems. Cleaning silver or gold jewelry means you will pay off an old debt or receive an unexpected bonus. Clean the latrine - deal with all your enemies. Clear the area of land from debris, fallen leaves, etc. - in reality you will receive a responsible job, which, however, you will cope with brilliantly. Imagine that you can easily clean out all the dirt and dust - and everything around becomes clean and elegant.
Other dream plots about asphalt
- If in night vision grass breaks through cracks in the asphalt, this means that you will find the strength to move on precisely at the moment when it begins to seem that the struggle is pointless and it is not worth continuing to invest effort.
- A dream in which you see asphalt under the snow, according to Loff’s dream book, predicts forgiveness from a person with whom the relationship seemed hopelessly lost and damaged. The ice between you will begin to melt, and communication will gradually resume to the previous level of trust.
- According to the Jewish Dream Book, if you see a crowd of people standing on the asphalt, this means the arrival of distant relatives, a general holiday, or a gathering for some official occasion. If the crowd is looking at you, then you will be the reason to gather.
- Skating on asphalt - according to Felomena’s dream book, dreams of the meaninglessness of the planned business. The effort you put in and the time you spend will be wasted. Such a dream is a sign that you need to stop wasting your resources and switch your attention to something else.
- According to G. Ivanov’s newest dream book, if in your night vision you draw with chalk on the asphalt, this indicates your immaturity and habit of having your head in the clouds. You need to learn to be more serious and not run away from the responsibilities that adult life implies. It is also worth paying attention to the interpretation of the drawings that you saw on the asphalt; they can have different meanings.
- A dream in which you are walking along a flat asphalt road, according to interpreter Miller, means that even if you don’t like the chosen path now, in the future you will understand its benefits and appreciate all the advantages that it has given you.
- Sitting on the asphalt in a dream means a meaningless expectation of change. But we need to start taking action. Take the initiative into your own hands, even if you are scared or don’t want to do anything, otherwise a period of complete stagnation will begin in your life.
- According to the dream book of Simon Canaanite, if you break the asphalt in a dream, this indicates that you are struggling not with the cause, but with the consequence of your problems. You need to look at everything from a different angle and understand why things are not going the way you want.
- Schiller-Shkolnik in his dream book interpreted this dream as follows: getting your feet dirty in fresh asphalt means unexpectedly arising responsibilities that will be unpleasant for you. Perhaps they will leave someone else's child in your care or give you someone else's work, which you will have to completely redo for yourself.
- According to Stuart Robinson's dream book, if you dream of driving an asphalt paver, this is a symbol that you are finally ready to take life into your own hands. You are capable not only of what society and loved ones demand of you, but also of real achievements.
- As it is written in the Modern Universal Dream Book, a dream in which you leave footprints on fresh asphalt prophesies procreation, an unexpected pregnancy or the birth of your grandchildren. It is also a symbol of significant events that will affect not only your life, but also someone else's.
Move around it
Skating on asphalt is predicted by the dream book of failure due to ill-considered actions, uncalculated steps or one’s own strengths, lack of abilities or funds.
What you dream of walking barefoot on asphalt speaks of the successful completion of your plan. Walking on a wet surface in a dream means that the dreamer, instead of solving situations, is trying to quietly shift responsibility to other people or simply escape from troubles.
Running barefoot along a paved path is interpreted in Dr. Freud’s dream book about the dreamer’s sufficient liberation in the intimate sphere. You accept yourself and your body, with its flaws and imperfections.
Miller's dream book explains why one dreams of walking barefoot on asphalt, an opportunity to pour out one's soul to loved ones and receive support in return. A woman walking along a path without shoes predicts the appearance of a long-awaited love affair that can turn her head.
Why Monitoring Temperature Is Key to Successful Asphalt Paving
Ambient (air) temperature, substrate (aggregate and existing asphalt) temperature, and hot mixed asphalt temperatures are critical to ensuring compaction and durability of newly paved surfaces and stains.
Hot mix asphalt is produced at temperatures between 270°F and 325°F. Depending on environmental conditions and the distance from the hot mix plant to the site, hot mix asphalt can lose between 5°F and 25°F.
The temperature of the base mix after it has passed through the paving machine, rather than the mix or production temperature, is the most important factor in determining the time available for compaction. Hot asphalt pavement arrives at a project at temperatures ranging from 275°F to 300°F and is placed over the existing base using mechanical methods (pavers).

If the air and substrate temperatures are lower than required or specified, the asphalt pavement will cool too quickly, causing it to set and making it very difficult to achieve the required or specified compaction density.
Thin layers of pavement cool faster than thicker layers, and if the base or ambient temperature is low, the hot asphalt mixture will cool faster, density will not be achieved, and the patch will crumble and fall apart.
During paving and overlaying, if the hot asphalt surface cools too quickly, the entire surface will crack in a short period of time, creating an uneven, rocky surface. This not only results in a poor surface quality, but also causes the surface to retain water, which shortens the life of the pavement or patch by accelerating the spreading process.
This is why it is so important to control all temperatures (ambient, substrate and hot asphalt) and wind speeds during the paving process.
Ambient temperature
There are three main temperature testing steps to ensure a good and successful paving and patching project:
- Ambient temperature control. Finding the expected high and low temperatures on the day of paving, as well as monitoring the ambient temperature during work hours, is essential to starting and maintaining a successfully completed paving project. Ambient temperatures are typically required to be 50°F and rise when paving or patching .
- Find out the forecast wind speed for the day of installation. When there is wind, the temperature of the hot asphalt mixture cools faster than usual. The higher the wind speed, the faster the hot asphalt mixture will cool.
- Pay attention to precipitation. This can reduce the temperature of the hot mix asphalt, making efforts to achieve the required compaction more difficult.
Base temperature
While ambient air temperature is a factor in cooling hot asphalt pavement, the temperature of the base or soil is even more critical. Monitoring the temperature of the substrate (ground or existing pavement) can be done using an infrared thermometer (purchased from a hardware store, Sears, Home Depot, etc.) to ensure the base temperature is 50°F and rising.
HMA temperature
The last step is to check the temperature of the hot mix asphalt before placing it on the base. This should be done by measuring the temperature of the pavement in the truck, at the front of the paving machine, and behind the screed (after the paving machine has passed through). In addition, the wind will cool the hot asphalt mixture very quickly once it is placed on the base, so care should be taken when paving on windy days and the roll will need to be adjusted to account for the effects of wind speed.
If the base temperature or ambient temperature does not reach the minimum required temperature, you risk failure of the final product, causing the pavement to crumble and fall apart. Likewise, cold asphalt mix will also cause the pavement to crack and fail. If the pavement cools too quickly and falls below 220°F before initial or destructive rolling, failure will occur because the hot mix asphalt has hardened and the required compaction (95% laboratory control) cannot be achieved.

Pavement temperature is very important for compactor operators to know when they need to perform an initial or break-in. Monitoring temperature and wind speed is very important when installing a new surface or when patching (especially sheathing or surface patching) on an existing paved surface.
The University of Minnesota and the Minnesota Department of Transportation have developed a program called "Cool Pave" that can be used to determine the amount of time a contractor must perform break rolling to achieve the required density. Table A shows the time required for the contractor to achieve initial density and compaction at ambient temperatures from 50°F to 90°F, base temperatures from 50°F to 80°F, and mix temperatures from 300°F to 250°F. Also During compaction, a wind speed of 5 mph is taken into account.

Danger is near
Did you see bitumen being spilled in a dream? Such a plot foreshadows numerous obstacles, which will be very difficult to resolve. Therefore, before implementing new projects, carefully weigh everything several times.
Did you have to see in a dream how the road cracks and collapses? Be careful in reality. Perhaps evil rock will intervene and ruin all your plans.
Why dream of seeing footprints on a freshly laid asphalt surface? The combined interpreter claims that in life you will be forced to prove your innocence.
Did you have to lie on a dirty surface in your sleep? Most likely, in reality you will be judged by society. Falling on dirty asphalt means running into a difficult and uncompromising situation, a way out of which will never be found.
