These comments are so interesting. This certainly fits with my experience of dreams that take place in houses. One big theme of my dreams growing up, and even into my 20s, was trying to tell everyone in my childhood apartment to leave the building because something bad was going to happen, and no one would listen, so I would try to get out on my own. I usually either had trouble finding my way out or something in the lobby of the building would distract me, and I would have to go back upstairs. Sometimes I realized the threat was not outside when I got downstairs, and I felt silly. trying to leave But when I went back upstairs, I felt it again, so the process would start over. Regardless of the order of operations, I rarely made it off the block. And when I did, I was like "What's it all for?" I had these dreams for many years, until I managed to shift my mind from saving my family to making a life for myself. So, I guess that was my psyche, entangled in a fearscape. Dreams that have taken place in my current home have been about renovating or telling people I don't want around to leave, which is much more empowering than the old themes.
This is a wonderful example of how repeating dreams can really tie into core issues, struggles, unresolved dynamics, etc. The change usually won't happen till we integrate something meaningful, have a realization, make a change.
Your newer dreams do sound empowering. Renovating shows an ability to bring about development to the structures you inhabit. Having boundaries and authority to tell others to leave, as you have ownership of the space.
