Now that I see this and continue to consider it all, I think that I have never really felt "at home" anywhere that I have lived IRL. I moved a lot in my 20s and immigrated to Canada in my 30s. I did so because my DH is Canadian, and we wanted to raise children here. But, Vancouver isn't my home.

My childhood was very stable in terms of homes, but not family. I was forced out of my family home and that is what started my moving every 18 months or so in my 20s.
There is a lot of baggage with them and I have found myself very alone in the uncovering and sorting through process. Every time I think I am done, there is something more that no one remembered or I found something that wasn't ours but still needed tending too.
Thank you, there is so much here now, another closet to unpack and sort through, I suppose, but your insight did open a floodgate where I didn't see one on my own.
You're welcome, I'm glad the reflections helped provide insight. It makes sense these dreams have been recurring so long given your history. It's amazing how our dreams can clue us in to what is happening inwardly, even if we aren't fully aware of it consciously!
I hope the insights help to deepen your exploration on these topics :)
