For the last couple of years, I keep dreaming that I am moving back in to the first home that my husband and I ever owned. Despite the fact that we have “moved on up” in the quality of the home we now own, I am always super excited in my dreams to be moving back in to this old fixer-upper.
*Yes, that is the actual house I dream about ->
It’s actually pretty common in dreams to find yourself residing in a home you haven’t stepped foot in for decades. I get asked about it all the time.
The best way I’ve found to figure out these “old house” dreams is to first realize that it’s not really about the house but rather who YOU were when you lived in that house. Remember, EVERYTHING in your dreams is symbolic of some part of you and some part of your life. So that former house in your dream is really some part of you that needs your attention and focus right now. What happens in the dream and even the rooms that are focused on in the dream are insightful clues.
Let’s use my dream as an example. In my dream we are moving back into the house. I am excited about it. And in most of these dreams I am unpacking and setting up the room in the house I used for art in real life. When I open the closet, I discover that the previous owners were in the process of expanding it into a playroom/man cave. It’s not yet finished but I am excited to find it and more than willing to finish it.
In real life, when I lived in that house, I spent a good deal of time painting, designing T shirts and greeting cards. When we eventually moved from that house, I stopped creating art because I was focusing on building my career as a professional Dream Analyst. So that house and that room in that house represent me the artist.
Just under two years ago, when the dreams began, I had started painting again (after 18 years of doing nothing with my art). Essentially, I was “moving back in” to the groove of being an artist. I am excited in my dreams because, in real life, I wake up excited every day knowing I am going to paint! The playroom/man cave that I discover in the closet that is under construction is my Pin Up portrait business. I started it in February of this year and it has been growing ever since. And I think the man cave aspect of the room is that many of my pin up portraits are given as gifts to husbands and boyfriends that hang them in their man caves. Ha ha!
The message of these dreams is: “This old part of you is back. Continue to build it and play with it. Continue to enjoy it. Don’t stop it like you did before.”
Just in case you are interested, you can see my custom Pin Up portraits here.
I just love my dreams. They never fail to guide me. Your dreams are doing the same for you. Here are some questions to ask yourself that will help you find the message in your former house dreams:
How would you describe yourself and your life when you lived in that house?
Is there anything in your current life that seems or feels similar to back then?
– If so, do you need to nurture that or move on from it?
How are you feeling in the dream?
– What in your current life causes you to feel the same way?
Is there any particular room that your dream seems to have more focus on?
– If so, what was that room typically used for? For example, a bathroom is used to cleanse and to relieve yourself. What from back then do you need to cleanse and relieve yourself of? A kitchen is used to prepare, to eat and to feed others. Is there anything from back then you are hungry for now?
In a nutshell, dreaming of your former home will typically mean there is something from back then you either need to bring into your current life or that you need to leave in the past. The questions above should help you figure out what it is. Life is all about growing and improving as we move forward in time. Our dreams advise us on what to leave behind and what to take with us along the way.

When I was 11 years old I would dream of going back to my old house. I would rember seeing my 2 beds, the kitchen, and my parents room. I went into my room and sat onto the bed then I woke up and I had that same dream just in different places of the house
Analyze this for me: I’m always in my old house from 20 yrs ago and its always night time or dark. In my mind its important that it be dark while I’m looking for something that wasn’t discovered by its new owners, a shard of my time there manifested into an unknown object I owned during my time there that I can Lucidly bring back to my present day. I’m aware that I’m there looking but I feel as if I’m Re-inhabiting the old home believing the new owners moved out so I can finally get back in to find something. In reality, While my time there was wonderful, it was also incredibly brief. 1-2 yrs of joy followed by 6 -12 months of self induced pain and regret of which time I could not rescue us knowing that our days there were numbered because we couldn’t make the necessary changes to keep our new home. FF 20+ years and we now live in a much greater home just as worthy of good memories but I’m still plagued by what could have been and never survived. If my current circumstances are so great, why then do I always subconsciously want to be back at the old house in PTC? Its like an unnamed ghost that wont die. A part of me that is no more because of time & tide. An aching nostalgia of what once was, but cannot be again because of the passage of time. The house has since been completely remodeled and though my mind knows that its now impossible to turn over any old stones or uncover something of mine otherwise unseen by its tenants of 20 yrs but yet In my lucid dream I’m still looking in the dark in an unquenchable search of futility fearful that the sun will rise on me before my due time. I wake up in tears full of lamentation all day and the waking day is scented w/ that nostalgic bittersweet lamentation as if I want to return there but know I cant. This pain survives until broken by the cycle of sleep and is always re-manifested as it has been for the last 20 yrs. Its haunted me for 20+ years destroying my peace even unto the desire to die. The regret is not being there now.
I have dreams of a rental property I lived in for 6 years. There’s people in there, but I still dream of going back there. I drive through the town. I go to the gate & I sit in my car. A lady comes to the gate. She sees my car & recognises me. She was my former neighbour, who lived next to my then landlord. Then my dream ends. I think this is my closure? I’ll never live there again !
I have similar dreams where I return to my old house of 12 years which is now a rental. It’s never the same dream but I’m always concerned about the condition of the house and renter living there. One time I dreamed of sneaking into the house and falling asleep with the renters there. I wake up and sneak out. I think in my waking life I miss being single with no responsibilities. I lived in that house for ten years before getting married. I had many great memories in that house. Now a single guy lives there and last time I visited I was a little jealous.
I lived in my childhood home from 1977 until I married in 1993.
Last night I dreamed that we were there again my family was with me . Hubby, grown children and strangest of all my dad who passed away 2015 and grandmother who passed in 2016
I was neutral in feeling. Neither happy or sad.
tafsir al ahlam, There is no shielding law through after which we can verify ourselves completely against mix-ups. That is the motivation behind why the thinkers, who encircled the principles of the rationale and created the methods for exchange and assembled the contentions of theory, fell persistently into mix-ups and left as the inheritance of their numbness many false thoughts and mixed up ways of thinking and vain talks.

This demonstrates it is difficult to touch base at the reality of each issue and to decide the right dreams as the aftereffect of one’s own exploration without committing an error. We have never known any individual, nor knew about one or read of one in any book of history, who was free from a blunder in the entire field of his vision and reflection. It pursues, in this manner, that it is difficult to discover individuals who,
through the investigation of the law of nature and putting their still, small voice as per the conditions of the world, conveyed their examination to the most abnormal amount of truth wherein no plausibility of error was left… Khwabon ki tabeer also tells us about entire things regarding the dreams. Be it in the Urdu Khwab Nama, Khwabon Ki Tabeer in Urdu And Hindi, and so on. We ensure to let our readers know the reality of the dreams in a significant way.

At that point if man can’t escape blunder through his own insight and God Who is Gracious and Merciful, and is free from each misstep and knows reality of each issue does not help His workers through His actual genuine disclosure, how could we humble animals develop out of the darknesses of obliviousness and mistake and how might we be conveyed from the cataclysms of uncertainty and doubt? I thusly avow it with certainty that the intelligence and leniency and continuing adoration for God Almighty interest that occasionally,
when He considers it right, He ought to make men who ought to be beneficiaries of disclosure to find out obvious regulations and setting up right ethics, and who ought to have presented to them the limit of putting forth their lessons for other people so humanity, who have been made for genuine direction, ought not be denied of their required favorable luck.

The Hidden World Of Revelation
God Almighty has partitioned His brilliant universe into three sections. To start with, the world which is show and can be felt through the eyes and the ears and other physical faculties and through normal instruments. Also, the world which is covered up and which can be comprehended through reason and guess. Thirdly, the world which is covered up past concealed, which is imperceptible to the point that few know about it. That world is totally concealed, can’t become to by reason and is an unadulterated guess. It is revealed distinctly through dreams and disclosure and motivation and not by some other methods. tabeer urdu
Khwabon ki tabeer
As is settled, it is the method for Allah that for the disclosure of the initial two universes that we have referenced He has offered to man various sorts of resources and forces. Similarly, He has delegated methods for man for the disclosure of the third world and that implies is disclosure, motivation, and dreams which are not completely suspended whenever. In fact, the individuals who follow the conditions for accomplishing them have, all through, been their beneficiaries and will keep on being such.
As man has been made for boundless advancement and God Almighty is free from each insufficiency, stinginess and keeping down, it would be a contemptible idea that He put into the core of man the excitement to gain proficiency with the privileged insights of all the three universes but has denied him entirely of the information of the methods for getting learning of the third world.

It’s common to have a recurring dreams in lyf!!
My ex and I sold out property and house and he shouldn’t have not gotten any of the sales he got half I keep dreaming of the hose and property what does this mean?
Hello people,
I hope you are well and great
I’m researching the Dream interpretation web site. And I’m going to see your site. Thank you for providing the best interpretative
Keep up the great work, it’s hard to find good ones. I added to my favorites.
Thank you very much.
Im not pregnant and my fiance and i were having a baby girl in this dream but the house we were in was my grandmas old house she lost it before she past away and i didnt tell my family i was pregnant until she was born and when we took her home her room was my grandmas old room. I walked in her room and it was decorated perfectly with toys everywhere and purple bed sheets and purple walls. Then we were making food in the kitchen and everything started too turn into a nightmare where the baby girl disappeared and the food turned too worms and all the walls started falling into blackness and I was just floating there wishing everything would just come back but then i woke up and fell back asleep and the dream started over again till i woke back up the next morning. It was the weirdest continuous dream ive had in a long time.
I keep having reoccurring nightmares of a house I lived in for 10 years that I used to deal lots of shit in n I went through hell in it. My mother died when I lived in that house I seen soo so so much in that place. I been with many woman growing up in that house I just seen too much living there. Fast forward 3-6 years here I am. Finally got my first car signed my first lease just recently and life’s been good I have a decent job that’s providing me money. I don’t know why these dreams occur or maybe like you said it’s possibly what I just need to leave behind. It’s scary though because these nightmares are always different scenarios bad ones but in the same house that my mind creates. Sorry to add a bit different of a comment here but god. I just needed to vent only if just one person reads this comment. I believe I am traumatized from my past but moving forward has been odd n being successful for once in my life. Any insight?
I found my self day dreaming about “me setting down watching my uncle playing a guitar” in a very old house where I spent most of my childhood. I never thought about it. It was just an old house own by a government so we forced to move out so that they can keep it as one of the historical houses. By the the house located in eastern Africa. I wonder why I dream about it?
It’s a common dream i ever had my lyf!!
Every night for the past four years i’ve had reoccurring dreams of a house I lived in when I was 9-12, It was my grandmothers house. I talked to everyone that lived there when I did but none of them have dreamt of it since we left, except my twin sister. We both had similar incidents whilst in the dream. The most common one being seeing and hearing things that were never there. The entity that manifested itself into our lives has taken many shapes and voices when interacting with either of us, individually. We shared similar experiences but with different “spirits”, mine being female and hers being male. Mine would tell me every time our family had a disagreement or would say mean things to me to “wake up, this is just a nightmare and once you wake up all of them will be gone”. And my sisters would often tell her to hurt people and/or do things she didn’t want to.
When I drift off into sleep it’s like I’m underwater, or like I’m traveling through my mind and whatever is in that house is trying to make me remember something. I see myself laying in bed, when in that house I often had sleep paralysis and trouble sleeping, and I can see a woman sitting at the foot of my bed. And from where I am everything she says sounds from miles away but I can hear the melody of my grandmothers favorite song. I often find myself in a room that I was never allowed in when I lived there, the walls are all red and I’m laying on a cold examination table in only a white night gown. A man with a face I could never see because he’s constantly shaking it, walks up to me and without even thinking about I ask him “are you going to kill me?”, to which he replies, “death is too good, even for you” and he performs ECT on me and everything afterwards is a blur.
Whilst in the dream we see many of our dead relatives but they never say anything, it’s like whatever was in the house was keeping them from warning us about them. The house was like a body and that specific room was the stomach feeding on the people inside. Everyone that lived in it was always at their worst, except me and my sister, we are both “different” from other people. We always felt things stronger than everyone we know, we find good in everyone and everything no matter how damaged and we’re not sure if that’s why the house latched itself onto us. We are not certain what our dreams mean and why we’re the only ones having them but we ask for your advice on our situation.
Hi there. Not sure if you would like to still suss this out, (since it’s almost 2 years later.) But I’m willing to analyze this with you, if you want. I’m curious about the room you weren’t allowed in, in waking life, and have several questions surrounding that. I feel that room is a key component to something very important.
Best Regards,

I dream of the first home I owned and my grandmother’s house. Each time I dream there are secret rooms and they are much larger In size. Also, the backyard usually contains a beautiful labyrinth or Italian water fountains.
What does it mean when you dream about moving back to the a house you used to own but the house burned down? Then today I found a house a short walk away that reminded me of the house that burned down.
I find myself in the driveway and not allowed to enter because another family is living there…. we came home from vacation and a strange family moved in… they were even driving my car… I wanted to call my father but my cell phone would m work
You should want to help these people if you really have the “gift”.
Instead you have the want for $ and recognition….these are not gifts, but the attributes of your trueself…deception driven greed.
Revert talk about that on a show?
Good day “gifted” one.
My dreams of late are ones that will connect to another already drempt dream. Like pieces of a puzzle being put together. They fringe on the edge of one another. After awakening after such dreams they stay with me for awhile. Not all my dreams belong to that puzzle. Ive dreamt about a house I lived in and as I explained they are all different but come in segments that have been a part of each dream. I have noticed that the events in my dreams about this house never happened in real life but all people and structures, landscaping were real in real life. The dreams extend on where I might be driving on a freeway and exit to go home to that house and find myself lost and traveling thru a neighborhood close to that house. Wierd
I’ve had a dream about the same house several times this year, but the house is different on the inside than in real life. In real life, this house is definitely haunted. I’ve only had “good” interactions with paranormal in there but my stepdad who was not a believer, had bad experiences because he would mock who/whatever was there. My experience was waking up to being tucked into bed by who I assume was an older woman, and another which wasn’t so awesome for me, walking through the apartment in the house to my sisters and dads bedrooms (yes my mom, Dad, and stepdad all lived together) and I walked through what felt like the thickest spiderweb on the planet and my brain went all fuzzy but the “fuzzy” took the shape of a man.
Anyway. In my dream, the house isn’t haunted by people, but it’s a giant maze inside, built like a boardwalk along a river, but instead of a river, it’s like different animal exhibits. Not bright and beautiful like a zoo, but dark and sad. I’m not always walking by myself when I dream inside either, occasionally someone is walking with me and we get separated at some point. At the end of the dream, (this is the most reoccurring scene my dream focuses on) I’m at a corner of this walkway and there’s water where it shouldn’t be, I remember stepping over it so you couldn’t hear the plush of my foot. There’s wrong wrong on the otherside of the puddle into a different walkway but idk what it is. I’m always inning from it, but I keep feeling like it’s someone doing experiments or someone who caused the spill on accident and I’m trying to stop whatever it is they’re doing and the person I’m with keeps going off without me or I go off without them and we have to find each other again. I lived in this house when I was 15 and I’m almost 22 now.
I’ve been having reoccurring dreams all week but of different things. The night before last, I was in love with someone who I never met and when I woke up, I was horrible sad. I woke up several times in the night because my son kept getting up. But every time I went back to sleep, the dream continued which doesn’t normally happen for me. Once I was really awake, I was watching a show and felt super attached to one of the characters who resembled the person in my dream. I’ve had this dream once before, different things would happen but I always woke up feeling sad and off the whole next day.
2 other dreams I had as a young kid that reoccur, one where im on my car seat and my mom parks the car at the top of the hill we lived on and gets out to go inside the house and then suddenly the car rolls down the hill into traffic, but I always wake up right before I get myself out of the car seat.
The other one is when I’m at my grandmas and I have this weird vampire thing that follows me but it’s just a mask (this mask/friend pops up in other dreams too) and I leave my grandmas house and run and run and run down this street to a giant warehouse full of inflatableplay houses and slides and foam pits. I’ve tried to find it in real life but I was only 5 so I couldn’t get very far.
Sorry for the long post, all this dreams have been driving me crazy and none of them seem to correlate with each other and I can’t piece them together to fit my life.
I don’t know if my dream is positive or not.
I dream of the house I lived in with my ex husband, I sleep in our bed with my new boyfriend.
In the morning when I “wake” within the dream my ex husband shows me around the house.
How he doubled the size of the gaming room (which I do a lot of gaming now so I can’t see that being the issue), he has added a lot of storage to the home, he even kept adding photos to the photo wall & kept photos of myself & my family up on the wall which made me cry.
I told him I was glad he was doing well & he told me it hadn’t been easy.
That was it.
I hate when he turns up in my dreams, it makes me afraid I’m not nearly as over him as I believe myself to be.
I only moved out of my house almost 2 years ago, but we lived in that house for 28 years. Now I dream about going back to it, and it’s always different on the inside and I end up crying in my dream, remembering how it used to look. I actually dreamed about it just last night, and It was a home with kids and they’d completely changed the inside, and I was walking around saying what it was before. I just want to know why I keep dreaming about that home.
Anywhere you exchange breadth with becomes first in line with what can show up in your dream. You exchanged breadth and walked bare footedly in this house. It becomes a place where deposits of you have been invested. The spiritual foundation of that place can affect your destiny for good or otherwise. For example if there is an embargo of fulfilment placed on anyone who lives more than a day under that roof; then you may be under its influence. However, it dosent hurt to renounce any embargo or limit placed upon your life by any dwelling, using the name of Jesus. A name which is above any name.
WHAT?
I have recurging dreams about going to places I used to live (apartment, dorm, hotel in Mexico!) & find I left lots of “stuff” behind (clothes in closet, furniture, etc.). I always try to collect my things but am deterred because I shouldn’t be there for some reason (landlord coming I owe $ to, new people live there). These dreams always seem very real & upset me. 🙁
I have the same dream to about my old apartment … Last night I kept taking things to the hallways to store til I got it all but i felt I was having to rush bc I wasn’t supposed to be there bc I owed money or something … It’s all my belongings tho so I find it hard to leave bc there’s still stuff left over.

I have had a very similar reoccurring dream for many years. I go back to previous homes where I have lived and I have belongings there. I can’t stay because I owe money to a bank or someone or new people are living there.
Any insight into dreaming about a house that you owned and return to using a key the new owner doesn’t know you have? In the dream I’m always afraid I’ll get caught, but it feels so nice to return and yet, it’s unfulfilling because they’ve changed so much of what I remember. I usually hide somewhere in the house when I hear them return, and then wake up before they find me. This has been happening off and on for 3 years…
Sarah, i have the same dream.
I’ve been having this same dream as well – over and over and over and over – nearly every week for the past 16 years! I’m there at my former house. Sometimes it’s the same as I had it when I lived there and sometimes there are all sorts of additions and renovations. I’m always happy to be there as I’ve missed it so much, then worried about the owners showing up and catching me there, and several times they almost have. This is such a stressful recurring dream, and I wish there was something I could do to make it stop!
Have been having same dream myself for 20 years.Just had one now,moving back and living in my former house,sometimes scared the owners will come back but now its like I own the house again…..I bought that house and sold it 8 years later,I rent now but bitterly regret selling my home
Ive had this disturbing, anxious recurring dream for years as well, where the new owner would catch me in their home. I was told by someone that I entered a parallel universe through my dream. That in another life, I had not moved from the home, but stayed there. And that I had gained access into that other world. That there was really nothing to be fearful of in being “caught” trespassing inside a home that was no longer mine.
Everything you said made sence and you was right. Im impressed. I will work on what i need to do. Thank you for helping me see where and what i need to work on.
I dreamed about a house i had to move out of when i was 11 back in 2008 becuase my dad Did something very bad. I looked at the house on google earth and it looked like it got fixed more and there was a new fence on the back and The yard looked like it was modtly grass instead of rocks. In my dream we were moving back in but with my sister’s husbands side of the famiñy whch we nevr talk to. In the front yard there were black travel bags and insde them were old clothes i have not seen in years since we moved from there and The bags were outside all the time so they were dirty. In the toom we Used to sleep in i saw a box filled with old things i had when i was a kid there like my nintendo’s and all the games underneathe them. I wanted to take my stuff we had to live behined but the family of my sister’s husband would not let me and i felt sad but my brother,other sister,mom,and my other sister’s husband Did not seen to care becuase they were playing xbox360!!!
Omgosh I am having the same dream except my ex fiance is in it also and we are renovating the house. The main room we were in was the dining room. I did become anxious when I thought he had left, but he was just in another room. Ugh that house makes me feel so happy and I miss it so much. My current situation is awful with my husband and I’ve been trying to leave him for months, but feels bad because he will be homeless. My ex just recently started talking to me again more than usual because he left his wife about a month ago. We still talked while they were together, but not this much. Ugh wish I knew what this dream was about.
I keep having the same dream about my old house.. mainly in the garage and basement which is where I usually stayed. Every dream I have in that house there is a bad thing, like a ghost, monster, or dinosaur or even I was in jail.. and I’m with a group of other people, and my little brother, we are trying to help someone, but then a bad thing shows up and we have to hide and try to defeat it. I always find a way to defeat it, but I wake up before I know if I actually succeed or not..
I have a recurring dream of returning to my apt. I lived in 14 years ago and thinking I’m going to live there but I end up out in the cold because others bought it and live there. I also visit my old job there and my co workers distance from me. I was alone living there but happier there than I am in my hometown. I’m retired and alone here. The culture here I do not like. I had another dream about it last night. I’m very sad and lonely. Thanks!
I have the same dream of both a home I lived in and an apartment I lived in years ago. In my dreams I feel nostalgic, like I’m at home. All my belongings are always there the same way I left them, but I never stay. Everything I have these same dreams I want to know what they are trying to tell me.
I have dreams of living in a house years ago , now buying this house and renovating it exactly how I would want it in this dream.
I am having many bad dreams lately between murder, being robbed, and scorpions which I completely fear, any thoughts?
Last night I dreamed that I was going back to the house I was adopted in (in MA) and looking around for all the toys I played with from 1965-1975 when I moved to CA. Could you please tell me what this means?
I agree with Shannan Crews. It has given me something to reflect on today as I realize now this dream has several meanings!
I have read many articles on this matter and this is the first one to make any sense to me. Thank you.
Same here I even went out and brought a book but its so complicated with its interpretation of dreams.
I always dream seeing myself in the house I live with my family 10years ago, whenever i see myself in that old house i always have setbacks…. Whenever huge money want to enter my hand I will dream and we myself in that old house the next next i will loose my contract… What will i do please ? ? ? ?
