Houses in Dreams: A Map of Your Mind

A house is the classic representation of the Self.

Room by Room

• The Attic: Your intellect, higher thoughts, or spirituality. Also, memories "stored away."
• The Basement: The subconscious. Where you hide your fears, traumas, and instincts.
• The Kitchen: Where transformation happens (raw ingredients -> meal). Nurturing.
• The Bedroom: Intimacy, rest, sexuality, and privacy.

Finding a New Room

One of the most exciting dreams is discovering a new, unexplored room in your own house. This means you are discovering a new talent or aspect of your personality that you didn't know existed. You are growing!

Crumbling House

If the house is falling apart, your ego structure or belief system is being challenged. You need to rebuild on a firmer foundation.
