Last month we explored houses in dreams as a potential symbol of the structures of the psyche (https://alyssapolizzi.substack.com/p/discussion-house-symbolism-in-dreams/comments). The house being reclaimed by the forest makes me wonder if this dream came at a time when you interacting with some primal/unconscious forces, perhaps?
The doors being locked is an interesting detail. Why aren't you able to access this part of the home? The pulsing light implies something contained within that has intensity, energy, a draw to it. Moving towards it leads to the falling under ground, a kind of void that swallows all, and transcends the personal aspect of experience.
It's a very powerful dream! Do you have any particular associations to the major themes (the trees going mad, the reclaiming forest, the kind of house it was)?
