Wow I actually don’t even know where to begin with this. I have sooooooo many dreams in houses and a lot of them are re-occurring houses or different houses but a re-occurring dream. I guess the most common one lately is the house (it can be a different house depending on the dream) is full of rooms and I’m going through each one. Again depending on the dream some are scary, some are very mysterious, some have sad memories, and some rooms I never want to leave. The most common theme is I’m typically moving up towards the attic.

Does the movement upward carry any meaning to you? From a general archetypal perspective, we sometimes look at that as an ascent towards higher consciousness, a desire to move away from things, scaling to new heights, or maybe finding something hidden that is above rather than below.

I’m usually looking for something. I had a dream once where I got up into this old attic and it was full of old memories and heirlooms I had forgotten about or didn’t know existed. But most of the time I’m not sure what I’m looking for but I feel safer or better moving up.

Interesting! I wonder what this means in contrast to searching below. At times, repeating motifs speak to a kind of pattern we are in (sometimes in a way that is avoidant or stuck, sometimes in a way that reveals a resource or strength). It may be worth considering what it would mean to go downwards in these dreams vs upwards, as a kind of imaginal play. It may reveal some interesting thoughts and insights :)
