Home Dream Meanings: What Houses and Rooms Can Mean

You find a room in your own house that never existed, and it’s remarkably well laid out. Houses and rooms often stand for you yourself, for safety, retreat and what you keep inside. The basement says something different from the roof. Here are the rooms from A to Z.

2 dream symbols

House
Dreaming of a house is usually about you: your inner life, your sense of security and the different areas of your life. An old house points to the past, an unknown one to something new, and a collapsing one to a feeling that your foundations are shaky. Walk through the details and the feelings, and the dream starts to read like a floor plan of your mind.
Toilet
A toilet in a dream usually points to privacy, letting go and the need to take care of something personal. A dirty or missing toilet tends to mirror feeling exposed, rushed or short of a safe place to be yourself. Few dream settings are this relatable, or this awkward.
