I dream of a house that has a few rooms that are rotting or not safe. I've had similar dreams over many years and I always go back to this house (I sense it) in the dream even if the look of the house has changed.
Are reoccurring dreams/nightmares significant?

Most dreams contain messages that serve to teach us something about ourselves. Unfortunately many a times we forget what we dream about as we go about our daily routine. With recurring dreams, the message may be so important and/or powerful that it just will not go away. The frequent repetition of such dreams forces you to pay attention and confront the dream. The dream is trying desperately to tell you something. Such dreams are often nightmarish or frightening in their content, which also helps you to take notice and pay attention to them.
Recurring dreams are quite common and are often triggered by a certain life situation or a problem that keeps coming back again and again. These dreams may recur daily, once a week, or once a month, but whatever the frequency, there is little variation in the dream content itself. It usually points to a personal weakness, fear, or your inability to cope with something in your life - past or present.
The repetitive patterns in your dream can reveal some of the most valuable information on yourself. It may point to a conflict, situation or matter in your waking life that remains unresolved or unsettled. Or some urgent underlying message in your unconscious is demanding to be understood.
Following are some tips in overcoming your recurring dreams.
1. In understanding your recurring dream, you must be willing to accept some sort of change or undergo a transformation.
2. You must be willing to look within yourself and confront whatever you may find no matter how difficult it my be.
3. You must be able to look at the dream from an objective point of view. Try to get pass the emotional and reactive elements of the dream and get down to the symbolic images. Many times dreams are masked by elements that are disturbing preventing you to delve any deeper. This is a defense mechanism that your unconscious may be putting up.
4. Be patient. Do not get discourage if these dreams still recur even after you thought you have come to understand them.
5. Learn to accept yourself truly and fully.
Often times, once you discover what your recurring dream is trying to tell you, these dreams will change or altogether disappear.
Good Luck from me!

Are you going through any sort of trouble in your life, or through any specific issues?
Houses usually represent yourself & your soul. When you've dreamed about the house & it has changed, have you changed part of your life? The decay could represent health or mental issues that you need to address. It could also just mean that you need to change your ways of thinking, as the old ideas don't fit your current lifestyle.
I've had dreams like that about this one bookstore. I've never been inside of one like it before, but the layout is almost always the same. I always enjoy coming into it, but it's never along the same stretch of street.

Yes, they are issues that are asking for your attention, and the recurring dreams stop when the issue has finally been addressed. The rooms that are in need of repair represent parts of your life that are in need of repair, or possibly parts of your body in need of healing. Once you have addressed the issue, then probably if you were to return to the rooms, you would find them cleaned up, or you would find other areas in need of repair in your "house".....
