A beautiful house seen in a dream, as a rule, evokes good feelings in people and contributes to a pleasant awakening in the morning. However, it can be overshadowed by anxiety about the hidden meaning of this vision, which is not surprising, because it is known how much depends on its plot nuances. In order to dispel doubts and get an idea of ​​how the most authoritative interpreters interpret this image, we turn to the dream books compiled by them.
Opinion of an overseas scientist
We begin our review with the notes of the famous American psychologist Gustav Miller (1857-1929). In his dream book, a beautiful house is given mainly positive value. First of all, the author considers him a harbinger of prosperity and joy. Moreover, the new or simply well-repaired building, according to him, indicates that the dreamer can count on the protection of strong patrons in his affairs. If he not only looks at the house, but also enters it, then this portends him receiving good news.
However, in this barrel of honey is not complete without a spoonful of tar. Miller writes that if, upon entering a house, a person feels himself in an atmosphere of luxury that is not available to him in real life, then this is a harbinger of imminent disaster. In addition, a beautiful, but old and renovating house may not be a good omen. His image promises stagnation in business or a cooling of feelings for a loved one.
What did the Bulgarian fortune teller tell the world?
The Bulgarian soothsayer Vanga (1911-1996), also one of the most respected interpreters, was very sympathetic to the large and beautiful house seen in a dream. She was completely in solidarity with Miller about the fact that this image portends the dreamer material wealth and a happy personal life. In addition, the fortuneteller added that if the house turns out to be small but cozy, then this is a sign of fulfillment of desires and family happiness.
She taught that a dreaming wooden house (in a village or even in a city) promises a person material stability, but a stone high-rise building indicates that he should work hard on himself. Wang gave the greatest preference in his statements to old houses, provided that they looked large and beautiful. In her opinion, it was a sign of the dreamer's solid capabilities.
Opinion of Mr. Freud
The Austrian psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud (1856-1939), who put the sexual instinct in people at the forefront, did not change his tradition in this matter either. In a dream book compiled by him, a beautiful house is seen as a symbol of man. At the same time, like other authors, he paid great attention to various details of what he saw. So, he correlated buildings with smooth walls with a masculine image, and those that were supplemented with balconies, loggias, etc., with a female one.
Further, Mr. Freud gave an interpretation of some of the actions that the dreamer could perform. For example, if in a dream he was repairing a house, then in reality it portended an intimacy. Moreover, if he painted and plastered with pleasure, then paradise pleasures awaited him in bed, otherwise love joys could turn into bitter disappointment.
In addition, the scientist warned that a man who saw himself in a dream climbing up the smooth wall of the house clearly has a tendency to homosexuality, and the woman will vainly seek reciprocity at the object of her passion. If she dreams that she climbed onto someone’s balcony, then this indicates a secret desire for lesbian love, but for a man, this is evidence of his serious feelings for the lady of the heart.
The teachings of the sages of the East
The image of a beautiful house in a dream book compiled on the basis of the teachings of the eastern sages is interpreted very poetically. It is called "Islamic", and is deservedly popular with readers. According to the authors, the house seen in a dream, regardless of its architectural features, is a symbol of the wife, giving her husband a haven near her. Equally, it can carry the image of a family and loved ones.
Some of their comments are also curious. For example, if a dreamer enters a rich and luxuriously furnished house familiar to him, then in reality his well-being will increase, and his own home will not be inferior to that which he saw in a dream. But at the same time, a dream of an unfamiliar house, especially located in a foreign place, may portend him a speedy transition to another world.
Dream interpretation from the shores of Albion
To the dreams containing images of various kinds of dwellings, the authors of the well-known “English Dream Book” are also very sympathetic. So, according to their assurances, seeing a house under construction in a dream is a sign that improvements will come in real life, and not far off will be moving to a new and more comfortable apartment, which will miraculously protect new settlers from the machinations of secret and overt enemies, in the bud stopping their intrigues. Moreover, the higher and more beautiful the building was in a dream, the better the dreamer will reach a better position in future life.
Further, developing their idea, the authors of the "English Dream Book" write that the image of a magnificent building promises a person future glory and a high position in society. If he does not dream of dreaming at home, but of whole palaces or castles, then real greatness awaits him. As the saying goes: "They would be with the mouth ...". However, to the extent of dreaming readers, they warn that if they see in a dream an unfinished house, all their ambitious plans will collapse.
The opinion of our contemporaries
Let us turn now to the publication bearing the loud title “Dream Interpretation of the 21st Century” and see how modern authors cover the topic of interest to us. In their view, the image of the house is also associated with a person. However, unlike the interpreters mentioned above, they correlate the external features of the dream building with the inner world of the dreamer himself.
So, what he saw in a dream, a beautiful modern house, in their opinion, testifies to self-confidence, moreover, as a rule, exaggerated and bordering on arrogance. This dream often visits those whose career is successfully going uphill. At the same time, it is noted in passing that large houses, as a rule, are seen in a dream by people who in reality do not have a sense of security.
It is another matter if a beautiful building is seen, but a small building, for example, a house in a village. In this case, we can talk about a clearly underestimated self-esteem of the dreamer, the reason for which lies in his refusal to recognize for himself the real merits. This trait, as well as excessive self-confidence, often becomes an obstacle to full self-realization. At the same time, despite all of the above, the compilers of the 21st Century Dream Interpretation acknowledge that a large and beautiful house is a good omen, and the brighter these qualities are expressed in it, the more generous will be the fate of the dreamer himself.
In the wake of new trends
A fashionable novelty of our day is the out of print and already managed to gain popularity “Psychological dream book”. A beautiful house, included in the plot of a dream, is interpreted by its authors as a sign that a person who has seen it is stubbornly striving to change their personality and is ready to start life from scratch for this. If the dreamer is not limited only to his superficial contemplation, but is trying to study in detail, then the authors attribute to him the desire (perhaps not quite conscious) to develop his own potential, discovering new talents in himself.
He is urged to objectively evaluate his capabilities and find the best way to implement them. In addition, the sensations that a dreamer experienced when he was inside the house play an important role. In the event that they were not associated with any discomfort, then from this we can conclude that at the moment he is acting in the right direction. In the case of the appearance of a feeling of constraint or anxiety, it is necessary to search for their cause in really performed actions, and for this to find the source of negative emotions.
Father's house seen in a dream
If in the previous sections of the article we mainly talked about what it means to see someone else’s houses in a dream, now we turn to stories in which night dreams return us under the fatherly shelter, to where our childhood passed and where we took our first steps into our surroundings peace. Most compilers tend to see in the image of the parental home a symbol of protection, tranquility and stability. Gustav Miller also gave him the ability to portend good news, and Wang noted that if the house seemed clean and well-groomed, it means that the dreamer is building his current life in the right direction.
However, even the parental house that appeared in a dream does not always have the same interpretation. In this case, the details of what you see are also important. For example, if he had an abandoned and deserted appearance, this means that the dreamer made unforgivable mistakes in his life, for which he still has to be punished. Conversely, a renovated and well-groomed old house can promise a very decent and prosperous life in the future. But if in a dream a person tries and cannot find the way to the house where he spent his childhood, then this is an extremely bad omen, promising him a general deterioration in all matters.
Afterword
To conclude this article, we recall that whether or not dreams, or rather, their interpretations, is up to everyone to believe. But if throughout its history mankind has tried to find and find a connection between the images that appeared in night visions and the events of real life, then perhaps the skeptics have no reason to defend their positions so zealously.
