What Does House Mean in Dream Interpretation?
Dreaming of a house means yourself. Its rooms and its condition describe your inner state.
The house is the most consistent self-symbol in dream interpretation. Rooms stand for parts of your life; the building's condition stands for how you are holding together.
Discovering unknown rooms is the most reported variant, and it consistently means capacities you had not realised you had.
