Dreaming of a House
house, cottage · mixed
Building or owning a fine house points to a comfortable life; a run-down or collapsing house, to setbacks.
What happens in the dream
- You build a house: wise changes, a comfortable life and, in love, a faithful, good-natured partner
- You own an elegant house: you'll soon move somewhere better, and fortune will be kind
- Your house burns: sudden news, or increasing wealth; if it's an enemy's house, the news is good
- An old, dilapidated house: failure and declining health
- A house collapses: a death
- You spill water in a house: care and sorrow
How you felt
- A need for security: the dream often reflects how you inhabit your own life
- A wish for change: you may be thinking of renovating or starting over
Ask yourself
- Does my life feel solid or fragile right now?
- Which room of my life needs work?
