Can anyone here interpret dreams, please?

The other night I awoke from a quite delightful dream and I totally know what it was all about!
It's best that I don't say any more.....

Oh not that old George Clooney one again! 😂

Oy! He can't be in two places at once, and he's due in my dreams very soon

I see dreams as the place we process and begin to make sense of our waking world. Having said that - houses do represent ourselves, unknown rooms, doors opening into rooms yiu didn’t know were there does sound like the possibility or yearning for new experiences

That's my view, Iam. I like to make sense of things, too, so whereas the dreams may be making sense of the waking world, I like to make sense of dreams😵‍💫

Is it any wonder I sleep badly?

This a dream I had last week....I fell into a pot hole, it was so deep and full of water up to my armpits. I could see myself struggling to climb out. I woke up bathed in perspiration!!!! What is that all about!!!

Haha Doodledog not you as well as DanniRae 😄

I’ve never had an extra rooms dream tho it’s surprising not to have had as my house is very small and more rooms would be great, but I do have a recurring dream that we bought and moved into a new house and I hated it and was scared living there.
That may mean that deep down I don’t want to move and your dream may mean that you hanker for a move?

I have a,ways had very realistic dreams,I once dreamt a man’s whole life story. From the day and place he met his wife,his work as a war photographer through Europe and his life in Glasgow after the war right up to his death I was convinced my newly born son was a reincarnation of the man who had a version of the same name and had a member of our staff go through records in the local library to see if he had existed.
Sadly she couldn’t find anything and I was busy with our very prem son so it was pushed aside.
I,ve never forgotten his story even now 37 years on I can tell you his wife’s maiden names d about his son who died in a motorcycle crash
Now there’s the internet I,m wary of looking again .I,d prefer it to be just a strange dream

You are feeling overwhelm but you managed to keep your head above the water?

As for the 2 new rooms, you are currently adapting your house for the future and you have some rooms that you never really use but now you have given it a new purpose.

Go on Paddyann, research it!

I believe your dreams are the brain sorting and making sense of whatever has been going on in your life.
I think if anyone tried to interpret mine, I’d probably get locked away!

I am glad to know that others have the extra rooms dream! I used to have those dreams constantly, about houses we had sold and revisited finding extra rooms. Dreamed many times about a house we bought sight unseen but couldn't access it. In some cases we found relatives (long dead) living in the extra rooms!
for years I dreamed comical dreams and would wake myself laughing!

I had a vivid dream last night that I found two extra rooms in my house. They weren’t hidden- they were at the top of a clearly visible flight of stairs - but I didn’t know they were there. I have had different versions of this before, sometimes almost like going through a portal to series of ‘new’ rooms and getting lost in them.

Has anyone else had similar dreams, or can anyone suggest what they might mean, please?

I have had this dream several times and I would love to know what it means.

It's a recurring theme for me, in some form or another.
A new home, with little rooms, staircases, and nooks and crannies.

I've never known if it has any particular meaning, but I have seen somewhere the biblical saying about God's mansion having many rooms (something like that, anyway)

I think dreams are just us clearing our caches.

Perhaps you are having a spiritual awakening, or need to.

I've tended to find with dreams there is often an element of what you were doing/watching/reading/thinking about the night before :-) Other types are "anxiety" dreams where you're worried generally and all sorts of worrying things come out in dreams. I did used to have a recurring one for years, from childhood about being in a lift that went up faster and faster and wouldn't stop and just when you think aargh it's going to smash into the top of the building, it would just shoot up in the air out of the top of the building and float down to earth.

I just put it down to my fear of lifts!

Your dream sounds quite deep - I wouldn't like to speculate - but what did you read/watch the night before? :-)

I'm going for the spiritual awakening, or at least the need to find peace in your life.
This is based on absolutely no knowledge at all, on such matters.

I watched that drama about the serial killer - Until I Kill You, and then read The Gallows Pole in bed before going to sleep.

The dream wasn't scary (the TV thing was), and the book is a historical story (a bit grim).

Until I started to read this thread I had forgotten about a dream I had on many occasions
In a dark hall goodness knows where and not always the same place There was a moveable panel and behind the panel a spiral staircase leading to a little room in the eaves with a comfy couch and tiny windows and it was always dark out side
Some might suggest it was my escapism and safe place and it probably was

Am I alone in having really stupid dreams, though I can’t remember them often thank goodness. The last one I had was so daft, I was at a bus stop with John Major, and other people kept saying ‘that’s John Major’ but I kept telling them they were wrong even though I knew that it really was him.
🤔😂

That’s quite funny Babs03.

I’m fascinated by how many people have the extra room dream
I haven’t had it for a while but when I woke up I always felt really disappointed that it was a dream. Nobody has mentioned the loo without a door dream. I haven’t had that recently either but I gather it’s quite common.

I meant to ask if anyone else has dreams that I would actually call nightmares?
About 2 or 3 times a year, I wake DH up shouting and thrashing about. It takes several minutes to calm me down and in those few minutes I’m never sure if I am dreaming or if it is actually happening. It really is scary.

I dreamt a while back that I was the wedding planner for Kylie Minogue.
I was exhausted by the time I woke up.

Sometimes when you read before going to sleep you dream something connected with what you just read. Can be a bit scary if you read thrillers!

I'd love to learn the art of steering my dreams in the direction I want them to take.
I never know I'm dreaming, though.

Hmm. Struggling to find connections there! However there is an element of mystery in your dream - a staircase leading somewhere - wondering where it goes and what you will find.

I think the reply that said subconsciously sorting things in your life sounds more like this dream. It may be a mix of both. Have you been thinking about having a clear out or moving or getting organised for Christmas? Empty rooms might be related.

I have never known a man who could remember their dreams though! Both my OH and ex always said either they didn't dream or didn't remember a dream.

I am permanently sorting rooms out😂. I’ve been on a mission to future-proof the whole house, and have redecorated everywhere, replaced the kitchen and bathroom, and haven’t finished yet.

The new rooms didn’t represent anything ’sorted’ though. They were shabby and in need of TLC.

I’m going to sleep now- I’d like to go back tonight, but I doubt that will happen. I’ll report back if it does though.
