Dream Analysis

[SisterAgatha]

Anyone do dream analysis? I’d really love if someone could analyse this for me ♥️

I hardly ever dream but for a long time (maybe a year) I’ve had the same dream over and over. Always slightly different but:

basically we always discover a whole new half of the house we didn’t know existed. Sometimes we remember we had the rooms when we bought the house and just “forgot”. Sometimes it’s a trap door we open and see there are more rooms.

Sometimes the rooms lead to places so last time one new room had a sea view with a door with stairs down to the beach

last night there was a door with stairs down to regent street…

I know it’s silly. Anyone have any ideas what it might mean?

I could root out my 9 year olds dream book if you like?! 😂

Sorry I don't but I had an odd vivid dream last night. I haven't remembered one for ages.

We were going on holiday on a cruise ship but as we arrived at the dock we realised we were running late. We dashed to the gangway and my sister (don't know why she was with us or where her DH was) I got on but my husband didn't and we hardly had any stuff. No cases, just what we stood up in. We couldn't go back and he couldn't get to us. On board we were struggling without our stuff and trying to organise another rendezvous.

I read years and years ago that we basically have two types of dreams.

Those muddly ones where people and places pop up, nothing really makes sense. Usually there is no strong emotion attached to anything. These dreams are just your brain storing/removing memories perhaps as a result of restorative sleep.

Then there’s the other sort which have emotions attached. The secret is to look at the emotions, not what actually happens.

I have a dream where I regularly ‘remember’ that I can float really high. I’m always so happy this happens, but at the same time I’m always surprised that no one else seems to think this is remarkable. I interpret this as my subconscious wanting to say ‘hey look at me, I’m really special!”

Ive also had the finding new rooms. I would interpret this to mean that there are new opportunities hiding in plain sight? Or stop and re-evaluate your current situation, maybe it’s better than you give it credit for. Or it could be the opposite and a wish fulfilment that you want more than you currently have?

So how does the finding new rooms make you feel? And what else is going on in your life?

It's not silly at all. "Hidden room" dreams are extremely common (I have them often too). The general interpretation is that your house in dreams represents the self and your unconscious and the 'secret' extra rooms represent hitherto hidden areas of your psyche to explore. It could be that you're feeling in a rut and ready to 'break out' and explore new facets of life.

Me and my friend have this dream. We both have a house that's a bit too small.

As hihelenhi says above. I'm inclined to think it signifies being stuck somehow. I think the house signifies something stable, permanent and concrete, but essentially unchanging. Safe and familiar. The new undiscovered rooms or forgotten rooms seem to be your unconscious telling you that you need to make changes to your life. The forgotten rooms seem most interesting because it suggests that somehow you've lost sight of who you are and what you really want. Not unusual to feel this way under the weight of every day responsibilities and expectations.

@JesusMaryAndJosephAndTheWeeDon I remember having panic dreams. One of a couple of weeks before my wedding. I was visiting my home town and suddenly realised I was getting married that morning and was already running late. I couldn’t even get my fingers to button up my outfit.

This was easy to interpret. My subconscious was telling me that I was nervous about all the arrangements for the wedding. (Totally normal)

So perhaps you have an event coming up that you are worried about. Or your subconscious is telling you that you need to get a grip on this event. It could be anything to do with work or home. There may be no significance to the sister/husband thing. Or maybe you have a feeling your Dh will let you down, or even ‘he is not on board’ with your some of your plans or feelings.

I’ve read that sometimes dreams will have a pun in them, I’ve not seen that before. But the ‘he’s not on board’ could be one. Or perhaps I’m just overreaching here.

Ps. I’m one of the very few people who find others dreams fascinating. My DD regularly tells me hers.

I think the house represents you, and the hidden rooms are unrealised potential. Do you feel you are not using your talents? or could be branching out in another direction?

I don’t really feel like that. I am on the back end of a lot of personal growth, I’ve done lots in the last year. Always room for more of course which is maybe what the dream is telling me! Maybe I have lost sight of who I am, essentially. I don’t know, something to think about.

I find it strange that there’s always another element to the rooms I find, they also always lead somewhere else. I’d definitely like a house on regent street, that would be nice!

Yeah, I think where they lead for you is significant, and yours seem often to be "outside" to cool or beautiful places. And a beach has a horizon of course, and the vast ocean... So it could be all about your mind having expanded through the personal development stuff you've been doing; kind of your brain's way of processing all it's done so far and going "So what's next?"

Mine tend to be dreams about secret passages where only I know them and and can access them, and I get to visit huge ornate rooms and hidden palaces and stuff and take short cuts that nobody else knows, which (in the dream) I absolute love. I take it to be representative of having gone freelance and exploring doing things in different ways.

I love this interpretation! I think that could be right. And I hadn’t noticed but they do all lead outside. One was to a rose garden too.

Secret passageways are much cooler though!
