To dream of workmen may represent that the dreamer needs to be working on themselves. For example, if the "men working" signs are up while no one is working, laziness and irresponsibility may be at issue. The workmen may be drilling into the earth, which suggests that the dreamer may be embarking on an exploration of the unconscious mind.
