House

A house or a home in a dream represents the self, the physical, mental and emotional space that you inhabit.

A haunted house in a dream symbolizes painful or scary memory and emotion related to the time that you spent in that house. If the haunted house is not reminiscent of a place you know, it could represent a symbolic "place" in your waking life that is scary, such as a current relationship.

Large houses with many rooms may be metaphors for extended family lines. Mansions in dreams are often representations of wealth and money.

Moving into a new house in a dream symbolizes your feeling that you are moving into a new phase or stage in your life. A new opportunity has presented itself in your waking life. It may occur when your children leave the nest or you get a new raise or promotion in your work.

An old house may reflect the inherited or adopted qualities or principles of a parent or grandparent.

A house that is in disrepair or falling apart in a dream indicates fears that your family home is coming apart at the seams. It's time to identify the causes and repair them before your family does fall apart.

A family house on fire represents a burning issue or threat to the family home.
