Dream symbol · O
Old house
Symbol of the past, roots, and forgotten aspects of your personality.
Dream interpretation
The old house embodies the state of your soul and accumulated life experience. If in your dream you return to your childhood home, it is a longing for safety and warmth. If the house is neglected, you are likely ignoring talents or needs from the past that require attention. According to Jung, rooms are different levels of consciousness—exploring them shows a readiness for self-discovery. In tradition, this is a sign of a connection to ancestral memory.
