Should I go back there...?
I keep dreaming about the first house I lived in. It was a grand old house with a huge staircase and chandeliers. I lived there until I was ten and we moved to the country. I loved the new place too, but I hardly ever dream about that one. It's this first one that keeps popping up.
Maybe it's cos it was turned into four flats and my tree-house became a carpark, or maybe cos I didn't say goodbye properly (my parents said we'd go back to it to say goodbye and we never did)...
I dream that it's partly or all for sale and I go to view it. It is full of squatters and it's dark and mutilated. I sometimes dream that there is a swimming pool but it is full of algae and old bicycles. One time, I was shown around by a witch-like woman. I always get upset that my nursery has changed and that I can't find my way around. I want to restore it to the way it was.
My latest dream involved buying it back, sharing the cost with my sister and Dad and turning it into a luxury therapy centre - something I want to do eventually.
A few months ago, one of the flats was for sale and I pondered going to look at it to put my mind at rest, but I can't bring myself to change my conscious memory of it, even though the dreams are bad.
Has anyone else had a similar experience?

RE: My first house dream
Hello Catherine, it's funny but i went back to cornwall this year and went to an old RAF camp we used to live at in a carvan. My gran, aunties, friend all lived there in the house's(blocks) and we had some very good times there. When i went to the camp had a look.......all was knock down and i just stood there...watching gran putting her washing out.....grandad sawing the wood...chicken running around.......i stood there and took a deep breath and then got into the car.....i took one final look and said goodbye...........but i always have my memorys.........good and bad......but you can't really go back.
Your dream seem to be saying your worried inside about how your house will be looking in the future, and things are changeing everyday.......old building are being knock down for progress in building lots of flat etc... this we can never change.
once you let go of the house within you.and go there say goodbye....your dream will start to go only if you won't to.
only take what feels right to you.
love and blessings

Hi Catwoman from one Puss to the other(!)
I think we sometimes dream of our first houses, especially when we were children, as it was a time of feeling safe and comforted and there wasn't the same stresses and strains that we have now as adults. I have dreamed about my first house also not so long ago and everything was so clear. Even my grandmother who I wasn't that close to and passed away when I was 7 was there (now, that was weird). Are you sub-consciously seeking reassurance about something in your life? Visting the past is unlike looking to the future. In the past we know it's happened, we've experienced it, it was once a present day.
Love and smilies to you.

RE: My first house dream
Hi, Puss-Puss,
Maybe I'm seeking reassurance - after all, I have been very brave in the last few years and stepped right outside my comfort zone to pursue my career, with all the risks involved in running your own company. 😀 But that is actually something I'm thrilled about and things are going well. Also, I have the man of my dreams curled up around my little finger, so I'm not sure.
The thing that surprises me is that in the dream, it's become such a horrible place. Sometimes I believe you can dream the opposite of your actual life, but I wonder why...
