Dream about a basement. What do you think it means?

Question

Here is my dream.

I discovered a doorway in my kitchen that I didn't know exisited. When I went down the staircase there was a huge basement with clean, new cement walls. Windows were letting bright sunlight in and there was a brick fireplace at one end.

My 15 year old son was laughing and running through the rooms with 2 girls.

I heard the doorbell ring and went upstairs. My husband was getting out of the shower and had a towel wrapped around himself. He was in a bathroom that was unfamiliar.

Then I woke up. What do you think???

Answer 1

When I looked up basement in my dream book it said to mean unconscious. But then when looking further into the defining home and the aspects of the kitchen -- this information was provided -- "creativity; nourishing oneself; mother role". Then there was the part of a kitchen in a woman's dream "may refer to pride in the ability to create a home and contribute something valuable to the family."

So, along with the unconscious aspect of the basement with the other clues. There is a unconscious need to be creative, or the unconscious need to be appreciated on the contribution you have made in your home and toward your family.

Answer 2

This is what my dream dictionarysays a cellar represents: a cellar may smbolize the deepest level of you mind. If you have not explored your unconscious, the 'cellars of your mind' will be the whole of the unconious mind. If you have begun to explore, the 'cellars' will be part or levels of your unconcious that you have not yet explored.
Cellars are sometimes dark places; so are the unemployed layers of the unconcious, since they have not been illumined by the light of conciousness.
BEcause they are dark, and because they may harbour spiders and other creepy-crawly things, cellars may be frightening places. Similarly, unfamilar parts of our mind may be present a forbidding aspect. There are, in the unconcious- we repressed them, banished them from consciousness, because they frightened or digusted us or made us feel guilty and ashamed. But these repressed feelings or desires will turn out, on better acquitance, to be quite innocent products of natural instinctive drives, requiring appropraite expression in our life.
Another dream dictionay that I have says this:
An empty cellar: Will have prosperity.
Sleeping in a cellar: Poverty
Going into the cellar: Will be very fortunate
Coal in a cellar: Will recieve good news from far away
Many things stored in a cellar: Good Business
A woman dreaming of a cellar with wines: A gambler will propose marriage

Hope that helps answer what your dream may have been about. I have given you the titles and ISBN number of both of the books that I got this info from in case you should perhaps want to buy them. The first one listed is the one that tends to be more accurate on dreams I have found.

Answer 3

Sounds Good and Bad... Going down into a basement seems sinister, cold and dark.

Being that the basement was bright, clean and welcoming (fireplace=warmth)

Funny thing about dreams is that they have significance usually to the dreamer, based on our thoughts, fears, expectations, etc.

Answer 4

the basement usually is what holds up the house and with brightness and cleanliness seems like a new start to me

Answer 5

i would say you are holding back a desire you feel is shameful from your husband. you think this idea is dirty. and that if you were to mention it to him your marriage could end.
you also have pushed this idea way down or back in your mind.
you really think this idea will be enjoyable if you ever were to do it

Answer 6

Maybe you are about to discover a part of your life that you didn't know existed.

Answer 7

You are having anxiety about your son's sexuality and you would like your husband to speak to him about it, but you doubt that he would be willing to do so.

Answer 8

are you afraid of speaking to your son about sex? or about him having sex at his age?
