House
The architecture of self
What it often means
Houses in dreams are inner architecture — the rooms of your psyche made visible. The condition of the house mirrors what you have been quietly tending or quietly avoiding.
When it tends to appear
- When you are reorganising your sense of self
- When something long-buried is asking to be looked at
- During periods of personal growth or grief

- 1
Was it a house you knew, or one you discovered?
- 2
Which room held the most charge in the dream?
- 3
What part of your inner life have you been keeping behind closed doors?
