Interpretations


Dreams relating to a house often refers to various aspects of the Self. When trying to analyze the house in your dream, consider also how the house is kept and the condition of it. The rooms in the house relates to facets of your personality.

If this were true, I’d have to say the house was very large and roomy. I was most comfortable in the public parts of the house – the restaurant area and the kitchen where the workers were. I floated around between these two areas. When I ventured to other sections I found bedrooms I didn’t even know were there (in my own home) and it seemed very large and very roomy. I felt lost there.

I remember peeking into the bathroom more than once. It was beautiful, clean. I didn’t go inside, just peeked in.


To dream that you are in the bathroom, relates to your instinctual urges. You may be experiencing some burdens/feelings and need to "relieve yourself". Alternatively, it may symbolize purification and self-renewal. You need to cleanse yourself, both emotionally and psychologically.
To dream that you can not find the bathroom, signifies that you are have difficulties in releasing and expressing your emotions.

To see a hallway in your dream, symbolizes the beginning of a path that you are taking in life or a journey into the unknown and self exploration.

Interesting, as I was wondering through the hallways. There were very long but spacious hallways – some leading, like I mentioned, to rooms I didn’t even know were there.


To see a house in your dream, represents your own soul and self. Specific rooms in the house indicate a specific aspect of your psyche.

To see a kitchen in your dream, signifies your need for spiritual nourishment. It also forewarns that you will be met with some depressing news.

I did spend much time in the kitchen, though I had no place there. It was busy and friendly, and I wasn’t needed.

To see a mansion in your dream, suggests that you need growth. You may feel that your current situation or relationship is in a rut.

I would certainly consider it a mansion. It was beautiful – several stories. Huge.

To discover secret passageways in your dream, parallels to something new and/or exciting that is occurring in your waking life. It may refer to new opportunities, a new relationship, or a new attitude toward life. If you wake up before fully exploring these passageways, then it suggests that you may not know how to go about taking advantage of these opportunities or how to move forward with a relationship. Perhaps the newness and uncertainty of this discovery also makes you a little more cautious. This is a positive dream.

This makes me think of the long hallway (more narrow than hallways in the rest of the house) that led to the “secret bedroom”. I did go down this hallway, and into the bedroom. It was large and spacious and I was impressed that I had this room I wasn’t aware of and thought of things I might do with it.

(in this dream, the house was mine – not ours together.)



To dream of a porch, represents your personality, your social self, your facade and how you portray yourself to others. Consider the condition and size of the porch. In particular to dream of an enclosed porch, suggests of your tendency to distance yourself from others and your desires for privacy. To dream of an opened porch, signifies your outgoing nature and welcoming attitude.

The restaurant was on the porch. There was both an open porch and a screened in porch (I believe it was glass, but overlooking the outdoor patio area). This makes sense to me because this is where the people were, and where I was interacting with others.

In the part of my dream where I am searching through my purse for my cell phone, I was in the enclosed porch.


To dream that you are walking up a flight of stairs, indicates that you are achieving a higher level of understanding. You are making progress into your spiritual/emotional/material journey.

To dream that you are walking down a flight of stairs, suggests that you are going into your unconscious. It also refers to setbacks that you will experience in your lie

To see spiral or winding stairs, signify growth and/or rebirth.

This was interesting. There were stairs throughout the house. I was standing at the top of one flight of stairs, in a foyer on what seemed like the 2nd floor… looking up in amazement at the other two flights of stairs going up. They were beautiful, with intricate woodwork, and they sort of intertwined with another set of stairs. They weren’t spiral, but went up, had a landing, and turned 90 degrees to the right. I wasn’t sure what was on the floor above me.

It occurred to me within the dream that I didn’t know very much about my own house. I felt lost in my own home.



To dream that you are in a restaurant, suggests that you are feeling overwhelmed by decisions/choices that you need to make in your life. Alternatively, it indicates that you are seeking for emotional nourishment outside of your social support system.


To dream that you are happy, may be a compensatory dream and is often a dream of the contrary. You may be trying to compensate for the sadness or stress in your waking life.

I was very happy throughout most of this dream. The discoveries were positive ones. The social aspect was very pleasant. The feeling of having no responsibilities and seeing that everything was running nicely was a good feeling.


To see or hear a telephone in your dream, signifies a message from your unconscious or some sort of telepathic communication. You may be forced to confront issues which you have tried to avoid.

To dream that you are having a telephone conversation with someone your know, signifies an issue that you need to confront with that person. This issue may have to do with letting go some part of yourself.

In dreams, the telephone reflects the connection you have with a situation or relationship. Your difficulties in getting a hold of your boyfriend is telling of some communication problems that you may be having with him in your waking relationship. Sometimes you feel that your boyfriend is unreachable or that he is not always there for you.



To see a chef in your dream, represents transformation and changes.

He was the chef.

To see children in your dream, signifies your own childlike qualities or a retreat back to a childlike state. It is an extension of your inner child during a time of innocence, purity, simplicity, and a carefree attitude. You may be longing for the past and the chance to satisfy repressed desires and unfulfilled hopes. Take some time off and cater to the inner child within. Perhaps there is something that you need to see grow and nurtureed.



To dream that you are good friends with a celebrity, represents your idealized version of someone you know in your life. Perhaps you hope that a real-life friend can act more like a particular celebrity. Consider the qualities that you see in this celebrity and how you want your friends to have those qualities.

In my dream, I was having a very friendly and enjoyable conversation with Michael J Fox. Probably idolized him as a young girl as being an icon of the good guys. He complimented me. It was then that I realized who he was (saw his face when he turned to me to say the nice thing). We were arm in arm and laughing when one of the other workers (waiter?) passed by and I (still laughing) said “did you hear what Michael J Fox thinks of me??”
