Dreams of hidden/extra rooms

[BlackLetterDay]

It's been one of my most persistent recurring dreams to be living in a house and then suddenly discovering or remembering that it has extra rooms or wings. Does anyone else have this?

Yes.
But mine sort of does.

Yes! All the time. Its either a room we find full of the previous owners old possessions and they're haunted or we convert the hidden room into an amazing extension. The 1st one distresses me quite a bit and its a proper nightmare.

Yeah I do and it's awful!

Not had this but fascinated to hear more!

Me too, they are always abandoned scary places with cobwebs and covered furniture and often haunted.

I have a recurring dream about this! Our house, but it has an extra floor, with lots of rooms I didn’t know about 🧐

That’s a universal one, I think. Means something like you’re discovering hidden strengths/new skills. Wish I had it more!

Yes, I've had this a lot. Doesn't it represent different bits of your mind? Or something you're not acknowledging?
I had an amazing dream about this where the hidden area just went on and on. It was cool.

Yes but they’re really old with cracked walls

How so lingle?

I have this. And they’re quite nice, and it’s exciting finding them, and disappointing when I wake up and they’re not there. I like this dream!

I do. I think it's because I wish I lived in a bigger house!

Yes I do! Its a really common recurring one for me.

Yeah they can be utilitarian, or lovely, but some are awful and haunted and filled with dread and damp.

@Greyingmumto3 my extra rooms have victorian wallpaper and gas mantles. They have been shut for years but they aren't creepy.

Yes! So disappointed to wake and realise our(2nd floor!) flat didn't have a conservatory or garden/ balcony that I just hadn't noticed before

I do. Our house is too big in rl and I am always relieved to wake up and remember we don’t really have an extra wing!

I haven't had this but I have always had enough space in the house. My mum used to get them all the time when we lived in a small house when we were little. She said they stopped when we moved to a big enough house. So I don't think hers had any deeper meaning than a yearning for more space!

yes I use to get this as a recurring dream, it was horrible and disturbing, the kind you think is real when you wake up

I'm glad I'm not the only one, I have recurrent dreams where I'm wandering through but there are suddenly changes to layout and wake up very confused.

I think it just means you feel uncertain where you are.

That sounds a lot like something I'd dream but don't think I actually have. I mostly dream that I'm moving into a new house and it turns out completely different to when I looked around.

I have a whole extra staircase leading to another 2 floors quite frequently. Lots of dreams of undiscovered beautiful old rooms and hallways with Minton tilled. Fairly common theme for me too

Loads, especially round about moving house. I think I have them less in the last few years now we've finally moved into a large enough house! I guess once I got rid of the anxiety of outgrowing our home (for various reasons we ended up in a 2-bed flat for about twice as long as we'd planned), it became less of an issue.

I have this dream from time to time, and I love it!

Yes I have this. It's a really positive dream as I'm excited to discover the extra rooms. They are always the same.
