Discover your interior when dreaming of a house: the meaning of your dream

Surely you remember when you were a girl and you drew a house, with people, with a garden, or with pets. The drawing of that house represented our desires and our way of seeing life and there are many psychological studies that have been done on children’s representations of houses.

In reality, the house reflects our personality and our interior like nobody else, that is why houses often appear in our dreams. Dreaming of a house can give you a lot of information about yourself. Do you want to know the meaning of dreaming about a house? We tell you about it in this article.

General meanings of houses in dreams 

• The interpretation of dreaming about a house will depend on many factors, such as what the house that appears in your dream experiences was like (big, old, new…) or how you felt in your dream. Although, in general, they usually represent your own interior.
• We can say that the information that dreaming of a house provides us is very important and can be very clarifying. Mainly this kind of dreams are a reflection of our personality, because houses are those places where we can feel comfortable, relaxed and free to be how we really want to be.
• Thus, the houses in dreams usually reflect our own interior, how we feel at some moments in our lives, our own world and everything that matters to us. If you have negative emotions, if for example you dream of an empty house, it may be a dream that reflects insecurity or low self-esteem. In the same way that if you dream of a house without partitions, in which case it will speak of feelings of vulnerability.
• Dreams with houses can also indicate the presence of intrusive thoughts that are “sneaking” inside you, just as if you dream that something “sneaks” into your own home. Or from toxic people who are damaging you emotionally speaking.
• Perhaps you can also dream of houses when success is assured in some area of ​​your life, such as social, work, sentimental or family. Especially if you dream of very beautiful and bright houses.
• In any case, and as we said, everything will depend on what happens in your dream, on what that house is like, so it is essential to pay attention to all the details of the dream.

What place inside the house has appeared in your dream?

It is not the same to dream of your entire house than of a room in it or of an object. Therefore, it is important to know what has had the greatest role in your dream:

• If you have dreamed of the doors of the house, it means that you are facing new opportunities.
• Have you dreamed of the bedroom? In general, it is a representation of your love life, so you should pay attention to your emotions, if they are positive or negative, since they will give you clues to their meaning.
• The attics in dreams symbolize our highest aspirations, on a personal and professional level, so we will have to analyze if it is clean, if you feel comfortable or if it provides you with peace of mind. For its part, dreaming of a basement can reflect your deepest fears.
• You need to pay attention to the sensations that dreaming of a house with many rooms transmits to you. If you feel bad, it symbolizes that you are in a period of your life in which you do not know what decision to make.
• Kitchens in dreams are a reflection of your abilities and your resources, both material and emotional.
• If in your dream the protagonist was the bathroom, you should know that they generally symbolize the need for renovation and interior cleaning.

Meaning of dreaming about new houses

• Have you ever dreamed of a new house? Generally, this kind of dream experiences are interpreted in a very positive way. Because even if the move is somewhat stressful, it is likely that that new house of your dreams holds a great message.
• Dreaming that you move to a newer, prettier and even bigger house usually reflects changes in your life. Surely this vital renewal will bring you a lot of happiness, although as you well know, changes sometimes produce some uncertainty. Let yourself go, you are about to experience a very important and very positive change.

Dreaming of old or ancient houses: interpretation

• For their part, old or old houses in dreams, whether large or small, usually reflect vital moments of problems or worries. Perhaps you have to do an internal renewal, especially of your vital schemes, because it seems that they no longer serve you. It seems that doubts and uncertainty are taking their toll on you, and you need to start from scratch.
• The most positive thing about this dream is that old houses can be renovated, that is, all is not lost. That renewal depends on you, that desire to start over with much more strength and much more desire. Leave behind all the negative to focus on your present, on transforming what you don’t like.

What does it mean to dream of a house in ruins or abandoned?

• As we said a few lines above, dreaming of houses reflects your own interior and the vital moment you are having. So you can imagine that dreaming of houses that are abandoned or half in ruins has quite negative interpretations.
• Generally, this kind of dream experiences speak of the fact that you yourself/or feel abandoned, lost/or and aimlessly. You need to find yourself again, reconnect with yourself, know again what you want, what you need and what your goals are to go after them with more energy than ever.

Interpretation of dreaming that a house falls or collapses

• It is not a premonitory dream nor does it mean that it will really happen, but dreaming of a collapsed house or that you see how it falls in your dream is not as positive as other dreams with houses. And surely you already know it, because you will have woken up with quite distressing sensations.
• This kind of dreams reflect a very delicate moment in your life, perhaps because you are not being as happy as you deserve, or perhaps because discouragement or lack of motivation have taken over you. But don’t worry, because from the dream we can extract a positive interpretation: now that everything is destroyed, it’s time to build it, to start from scratch and to renew yourself.

Dreaming of houses under construction: what is its meaning?

• Unlike what happened when you dream of destroyed houses, dreaming of a house under construction is a very good omen dream. Keep in mind that you are building a new house, or perhaps that you are fixing up an old house that was in ruins. And you are also doing it to your liking.
• This dream symbolizes that you are on the right path, that despite the problems, concerns or difficulties of life, you have continued forward and soon you will see the result of all your efforts. Success and happiness are very close, enjoy it!

Meaning of dreaming of a dirty or messy house

• Dirt or disorder in dreams refer to conflicts, both internal and external. Interiors because you may feel guilty about something or you don’t feel comfortable with yourself, and exteriors due to the presence of toxic people in your life.
• Be that as it may, if in the dream you see yourself cleaning that house or picking up all that mess, it is interpreted as the need to renew yourself internally, to review your values ​​and to eliminate prejudices, so you are on the right track.

Interpretation of dreaming that a house burns or floods

• Any dream disaster that occurs in your home is a warning or a sign of negative emotions. On the one hand, it can happen when you have some emotional instability, when you are experiencing a time of stress or problems in some area of ​​your life. Although dreaming that your house is on fire has a negative interpretation, the truth is that fire is also a purifying element since it devastates everything, with the positive but also with the negative.
• On the other hand, dreaming that your house is flooded also speaks of that instability or that stress that you are experiencing. Above all, it can appear in times of stress, when you feel completely overwhelmed by problems or responsibilities and you don’t know what to do. Don’t worry, because it’s just a dream: it’s time to take control of your life and recognize all those fears that are holding you back, or maybe make the decision to stop a bit, breathe and take a break.

What does it mean to dream of haunted or haunted houses?

• It is quite common to dream of haunted or haunted houses, surely ghosts or spirits also appear inside, and it can become a nightmare. And it is that living in a haunted house is not encouraging at all, but we can learn a lot from this dream experience.
• The most common thing is that you dream of haunted houses because you are too clinging to your past. Perhaps your subconscious is warning you that you need to let go of that part of your life that has already passed to focus on your present and the things that are to come.

Dreaming of a rented house: meaning

• How is the rental house of your dream? Is it a mansion or a modest apartment? This will give you many clues to discover what your dream symbolizes, although we can tell you that it is usually a dream experience that speaks of an independent character and that you do not mind living new adventures.
• It is also a dream that can reflect financial problems, especially if you dream that you have to settle for renting a house because you cannot buy it. Be that as it may, the house symbolizes your need to protect everything you have achieved.

Meaning of dreaming of a house full of people

• You may wake up with a strange feeling when dreaming about your house full of people. In this kind of dreams you should pay attention to those emotions that it can produce in you and who those people were, if they are your friends or if they are completely unknown people who have filled your house.
• Be that as it may, if you have negative emotions, the dream will reflect that you feel confused by something, that there is something that you do not understand and for which you should seek an explanation. But if, on the contrary, the sensations are positive, we are facing a dream of good omens that reflects your happiness and your good ability to relate to others.
