Abandoned Old House
Suzanne writes:
This dream has been reaccuring for the past 10 years or so and gets more detailed with each visit. It starts with my going into an old home...A huge old home...Upon entry there is a huge staircase leading to the second floor. I have been into the nursery on the first floor, and it is all cluttered with old furniture and dusty from no use. It has an old basanette, a twin bed, old style dressers, and odds and ends that fill the room overfull, and there is an old half bathroom in there as well. The Master room downstairs is old but is exquisite. The furnishings are lavish, but it too is abandoned. There is a room off the Master room, like a study and I have never been able to go in there because there is always men meeting in there and it is off limits to me. There is another bedroom downstairs that is different. It is between other rooms and has not as fancy of furnishings. It has a bathroom off of it and another bedroom on the other side. You have to go through one of those rooms to get to it. I have laid down in that room. But I do not recall having stayed there.
The house always facinates me and I want to explore it all over and cannot seem to get this done. It is scarey but at the same time is intriguing. Never have I used the main stairs to enter the 2nd story of this home. I use another tiny and winding staircase and come up at the start of a long hallway. The rooms are all furnished but not attended to and not stayed in. There is nothing about these rooms that draws particular attention to me...other than I want to see them all and never have had the time to. I have always been drawn away to look at something else. There is another staircase that goes up to a door. This staircase is very tiny. I can't remember being in that room at the top, but I am fearful of it.
I have no clue as to what this dream is telling me other than my hubby and I were talking and I felt that maybe if I saw the entire home I would die. Strange? Let me know if you can what you think of this dream.
Thank you,
Blessed Be, Suzanne aka RubyJewel
Lady Raya's analysis:
Ahhh, the House Dream. As shocking as it may seem to you, the House Dream is one of the most commonly shared dreams. I had House Dreams for most of my life, but I must say I haven't had one in . . . oh, three or four months now.
The House, like almost every thing in a dream, is You. The various "rooms" and "levels" represent aspects of yourself which need to be explored. Since the dream gets more detailed with each visit, you are progressing in your task of learning about yourself.
The nursery on the first floor is all cluttered with old furniture and dusty from no use, because you are not "nursing" yourself. Things in there are "old and cluttered", because you don't "baby yourself."
Likewise, the Master room downstairs is "abandoned." Your Mastery of yourself is exquisite and lavish . . . because you have mastered control, but abandoned the reason for control. The room men meet in, directly "off the Master control room" is forbidden to y ou , because you are a woman. "God forbid" you should attend to men's work.
You've "laid down" in the Guest room, but not stayed there, for you are a courtesan in this house, a passer through, not the owner. The owner would not have abandoned so much of it.
You don't use the main staircase to rise to the next level, for that staircase would be for the mistress, the owner, and the Queen, and you feel instead like the servant, who must use the back stairs.
You've always wanted to know these rooms in your house, but you've never "had the time to" because your attention has always been drawn away from exploring your Self.
This is a guaranteed true interpretation. The House Dream is so common, so frequently brought up in psychoanalysis, that its meaning is a fairly agreed upon standard. Yes, of course you feel like if you saw this house you would die. Because if you truly knew your Self, the person you think you are, the image you have of yourself today, would be invalidated.
In meditation, using a blank journal, begin to explore that house, and speak to the Goddess. Take Her hand, and tell Her you are ready to see all the rooms.
Blessed be,
