Hello All At HP,
Can somebody please help me interpret a re-occuring dream?
I have been having this same dream for quite some years now and so wish I didn't.
It's always in a huge and very old house, I don't know what the outside looks like, but I feel I know this house very well, it's furnished with exquisite antiques, pot dolls and expensive nik-naks. I am always very afraid in this dream I am inside the house which is bad enough in itself but what makes it worse is that there are two doors in this house one on one side of the house and one on the other, the doors lead to small staircases which lead to another door behind which are two rooms I am terrified of entering but I always do anyway, the last time I entered one of the rooms I put on a hat I had found in the room and began to make funny faces in the dressing table mirror while doing this I had a sense of doing it to make light of the situation a bit like I was trying to tell myself 'Look I'm not scared, this is fun' but knowing all the while I was rigid with fear.
There is something quite evil about this house, especially the two rooms being off the house up the 'secret' staircases.
Any thoughts?
Love and Light

RE: Very Scary House
Rebecca- I wonder if you might be remembering somewhere you visited as a child, like a stately home , or an elderly relative with an old fashioned house?
In the mirror- Do you actually see yourself as you are now, or do you see a younger person?
RE: Very Scary House
Hiya Sam,
No it's not a house I have been to in this lifetime, and yes I see myself as I am now, not as a child.
Love and Light

RE: Very Scary House
Hi Becky, I have had scarey house dreams too.
I'm not the dream expert and the others will help you, but the house, as far as I know refers to YOU. Different levels of the house relate to different parts of you, ie the subconscious mind etc.
My houses are always HUGE and have secret rooms that I don't want to go into but sometimes I do and I feel scared in them. The rooms can go on and on with lots of secret twists and turns and they are often old and run down, like shabby attics. I once had one about being in a basement where the walls were crawling with insects and another one where the basement was run down and had been done up by children with bits of carpet on the floor and drawings on the walls to spruce it up!
I think it is about being afraid of accessing areas of yourself that you aren't recognising and you need to address.
Hope that helps.

Dear Rebecca
I echo Candie's post on two counts: Firstly, I'm no dream expert either, and secondly I do go along with the idea that the house and its rooms represent yourself and different layers or aspects of yourself.
In that context, your reference to things in "two's" ... rooms, staircases ... suggests to me choices, or decisions.
What did strike me quite strongly, though, is the similarity in some ways to what you describe in your own "real" (for want of a better word) house in the thread about Wicked Smells in the Psychic and Paranormal forum here.
There you referred to two rooms where there is a sometimes a bad smell, and that it is a large house. So I am just wondering if your dream is trying to show you something about your "awake" self, or at least if the two are ... like rooms ... somehow interconnected.
I will also reply briefly in the other thread.
