Can anyone here interpret dreams, please?

In Freudian dream theory there's usual 3 explanations, if I remember rightly.
1. Wish fulfilment, or dream come true.
2. A re-worked factual memory.
3. A wish or longing or deep desire.

So do you have more rooms, a meaningful childhood room or office maybe ?
Did you have more rooms in a previous house an have down sized ?
Do you desire more rooms, children perhaps or guests coming ?

Hope this helps

I have vivid dreams, some of which I can relate to as they are about things that I have done during the day, or want to do tomorrow.
I do also have a recurring dream about a house. It has a long,curved kitchen with all white units, and when I follow it round there is a shower room at the end
Another dream is about a different house, with a narrow single bedroom, and down three steps is another shower room.
Maybe I'm just Dirty Gertie from Number Thirty!!

General dream interpretation is a myth. When we dream, our mind is wandering around without thoughts from our fully conscious mind getting in the way. Sometimes our dreams mean nothing at all. Sometimes we’re ’working’ on something from our day-to-day life.

I think the key to interpreting the dream is to work out what the components mean to you personally and to consider what emotions were evoked.

For me, and quite commonly, a house means security. For others it might be tied to status, belonging, confinement, loneliness etc. What does a house mean to you.

As others have suggested, finding new rooms suggests that you are aware of parts of yourself or your life that you haven't fully explored. The feeling of getting lost in them suggests you might not like the loss of control that these explorations might involve. Again, if you can recall the emotions evoked that might help.
I'd suggest doing some free-writing, where you write down the dream but let your mind wander to what associations it will, jotting everything down no matter how weird. Hopefully you'll journey to some kind of insight this way. Or you may trigger more dreams which will add to the picture.

I have quite similar dreams and for me they usually signify emotional growth that makes me feel insecure but which is important to me.

Most of the dreams I have involve me getting lost and unable to find my way home or to wherever I'm going. I have an almost non existent sense of direction and get lost wherever I go so it's always been a big worry for me.

I would not allow anyone else to interpret my dreams! Not a good idea and usually wrong.
I did have a very good book about interpreting a personal dream but sorry I don't have it any more.But I did find some odd things that repeated.

Yes, the house dream, possibly more common in women; I'm not being definite here.
The emotion in the dream is the most important thing - and if you understand the dream, any bad-feeling emotion fades. Happy ones too, unfortunately!

Flooding water can be about overwhelming emotion.

I hide things and especially people from myself. Like 'a young woman', I realise later, is about my father!

And how about this one for a pun!
We had had a very large and hairy student move in next door, and I was a bit wary of him...until I dreamed about him with no arms. He was actually 'armless'!

Also, writing your dream down, at the same time, can be a great help.

Ooh! Are you a Nigerian prince by any chance?

I had a dream about being a princess once 😉

The stairs represent your ascendancy to heaven you can’t quite reach the top and are puzzled by the two extra rooms. Each room represents £1000 which are the amounts you must give to assure your eventual journey to heaven. D M me with. Email and I will send you my bank details so you put your house in order and reach inner peace. X

I think we interpret or give meaning to our own dreams - and it can be interesting.

I’ve had similar recurring dreams too and think that they may relate to me having untapped potential in some aspect of life. I like that idea because life is a journey.

I mentioned that one earlier*Allira*. It’s weird isn’t it? Must mean we don’t like intrusion on our privacy.

My usual dreams are about desperately looking for a toilet but when I find it, it is on a public footpath and has no door.

Funnily enough, the other night I dreamt I was in a house, which I think was ours, with DD, and it was quite a rambling house with rooms off other rooms, nothing like our present house.
I'd like to downsize, not upsize but have given up; we do need to renovate the kitchen and decorate downstairs so I think the thought of it is worrying me.
DD is also flat hunting and I think that is on my mind too.

Babs, I think "John Major" is an example of clever metaphors in dreams. The words signify an important idea or person that people tell you matters and you know in your heart matters, but you persist in denial.

I once had a very odd dream about John Lennon. We were having some sort of relationship (he'd be old enough to be my father and I've never fancied him anyway) that had to be kept secret. There was no passion in the dream - it was all about the secrecy and keeping the relationship out of the media - which was a blessing.

Very strange.

Katyj, I had dreams about horrible bathrooms and they were all because I needed to go to the bathroom and was trying not to wet the bed. Fortunately I always awoke in time.

I’ve had the extra rooms dream. One was id found lots of extra bathrooms all in a row on the top floor, all really horrible and dirty although how I knew they were dirty I don’t know because i was scared to go in.
The other one. I was visiting a friend of many years when I discovered she had a whole new part to her house that I’d never seen. I felt very bewildered and couldn’t understand it. Very unsettling.
It’s been a while now since having those dreams so maybe whatever was bothering me has passed.

I am gladother people have the extra rooms dream. I often have it.
Another frequent dream is running away from something and knowing that I can fly...and taking off just in the nick of time. Finally trying to get ready for an event and everything I look for is missing. Shoes. Keys makeup handbag etc i find one thing and then thr next one is missing.
The last 2 dreams must reflect the anxiety I am going through. But the rooms dream I have had occasionally for years. No idea why. And they tend to be unfinished rooms. Unplastered walls and rafters on view. Not able to be lived in.

I have vivid and strange dreams every single night and remember them. Quite often they’re to do with where I’m living and having a huge chaotic house full of people who I don’t know and wondering what they’re doing there.
I just put it down to how important my home is to me and that it’s my sanctuary.

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.

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'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 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).

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'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.

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!

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.
🤔😂

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