what does it mean to constantly dream about a house?

Question

I keep having a recurring dream where I live in a house, which from the outside looks like an average sized house, but actually houses different apartments. I have been having this type of dream for years, it started out with my husband and I living in a huge house with extended family members sharing the same home, with shared common areas such as living room and kitchen. It has gradually progressed to an even bigger house with strangers as tenants and, whereas before we owned the house, my husband and I are now also tenants. At the time I started having this type of dream, we were renting an apartment in a triplex, we've been living in our own home now for 3 years and I am trying to figure out how this relates to our situation.

Answer 1

In short: You long for freedom with many things in your life.

Answer 2

Hard to say. You may want to explore what you have been feeling. What are you secretly desiring? What feelings have you had with other family members? How do you feel about the dream? Happy or sad when you wake up? Do you feel confined by the house/home or is it a secure & comforting feeling? Are you happy to be close to the family or are their problems and you feel controlled by your family. There is not enough info here to assess this accurately. However, if you explore your inner thoughts and feelings you can probably figure this out.

Answer 3

House

To see a house in your dream, represents your own soul and self. Specific rooms in the house indicate a specific aspect of your psyche. In general, the attic represents your intellect, the basement represents the unconscious, etc. If the house is empty, then it indicates feelings of insecurity. If the house is shifting, then it suggests that you are going through some personal changes and changing your belief system.

To dream that you are cleaning your house, signifies your need to clear out your thoughts and getting rid of old ways. You are seeking self-improvement.

If you live with others in your waking life, but dream that you are living alone, suggests that you need to take new steps toward independence. You need to accept responsibilities and be more self-reliant.

To see an old, run-down house in your dream, represents your old beliefs, attitudes and how you used to think or feel. A situation in your current life may be bringing about those same old attitudes and feelings. Alternatively, the old house may symbolize your need to update you mode of thinking.

To see a new house in your dream, indicates that you are entering into a new phase or new area in your life.

To dream that your house is broken into, suggests that you are feeling violated. It may refer to a particular relationship or current situation in your life. Alternatively, it indicates that some unconscious material is attempting to make itself known. There are some aspects of yourself that you have denied.

To dream of a haunted house, signifies unfinished emotional business, related to your childhood family, dead relatives, or repressed memories and feelings.

To dream that a house disappeared, indicates that you are not feeling grounded. You feel uprooted by a particular circumstance or relationship in your life.

Answer 4

House = security, your safety zone.

There may be something in your life that you feel you are not secure enough. You want to expand your safety zone. In other words, you feel being trapped in a small area even though you now own a house. This could show subconsciously that you are not content with what you have and you want something far more than you are capable of.

Answer 5

I have no idea, but I've had similar dreams. Especially, the one where I share tenancy of my house with complete strangers.
