Make Making

This has so many possibilities because we can make sense, make money – in fact see the Idioms below to see how much we use the word.

If one of the idioms describe what you feel, and you ‘make out’, ‘make a scene’ or even make sure of someone then that is the meaning.

But if you are making something, then it is either indicating a creative action, or something you are in process of doing. Certainly doing something that may be creative. See Build Building; Create Creative Creativity

Example: Last night I dreamt my wife was trying to get me out of her life, and out of the house. It was as if she were attempting to push me into a feeling of tension and rejection which would make me leave.  At one point she was with another man and being very friendly.

Example:  I’m frightened but I want to make this journey.  I approach a stream with a very narrow bridge.  It’s dark and I’m afraid I may fall off the bridge.  But to continue I must cross the bridge.  Suddenly a young man appears to help me across.  I’m grateful.  He takes me to a small cottage where there are other young adults.  I’m a little nervous because these people clearly aren’t mainstream.
