Yes... There are multiple meanings in each verse and passage, all tying to the overall golden theme that keeps running through the Bible.

The full context that you shows illustrates the fact that our physical bodies, and our physical surroundings, are illusions to our real selves... Our spirits. When God told Adam that he came from dust, and that he would return to dust, he was telling this to Adam. In both instances, what matters most is what we do for each other under God's version of what is right and wrong.

People will try to build a name for themselves, and accumulate material wealth for selfish purposes, but this is going to be meaningless on the other side. What matters is doing what Jesus wanted us to do... We accumulate "heaven points" this way. Those won't be taken from us, contrary to the risk that our earthly possessions face.

When we pass on, our material possessions might as well be something we dreamed about the previous night.
