my psychology teacher just discussed this very topic today in class. he said that a reoccurring dream like that means there is something of conflict in your life. since it occurs in a house you once considered your home, it most likely is a family conflict. Is there anyone in your family you are having troubles with? Since the dream also seems linked to your childhood, there might be conflict there. Is there something in your childhood that you had a hard time with? Was there a bad memory linked to your childhood?
Unfortunately, since i do not know you, i cannot interpret the meaning. I'm afraid you will have to discover that on your own. |

Would you consider that the house you grew up on? Most houses in dreams represent us, with the various rooms being different aspects of us. The basement, for example, being past issues, our "foundation" in life. the bedroom usually deals with sexuality and intmacy. The living room the things we show to the world. The attic is our higher self as well as hidden or repressed memories.
Why you keep going back there during the bad dreams.... dreammoods.com had this say about childhood: "Childhood To dream of your childhood, indicates your wish to return to a life where you had little responsibility and worries. It also represents innocence. Alternatively, it suggests that certain aspects of your childhood has not yet been integrated into your adult personality. Or on the other hand, some childhood anxiety has yet to be resolved in your adult life." It makes me wonder....did something bad happen to you in that house? Or while you were living in that house? It may represent pain or scary things to you. Something could be happening in your current life that reminds you of being back there. If the house was a pleasant place to live in, and you have pleasant memories of this place, then I'd take a guess that maybe you going therre during nightmares would be a defense mechanism, something that makes you feel safe or a place to remind you that you are safe. |

According to the activation-synthesis theory of dreams, the dream probably has no meaning at all. (Sorry, that may not be what you wanted to hear.)
Although dreams are influenced by our thoughts throughout the course of the day, this does not mean they are special messages to us that we should carefully consider. Here's one perspective: "Activation Synthesis Theory is a neurobiological theory of dreams, put forward by James Allan Hobson and Robert McCarley in 1977, which states that dreams are a random event caused by firing of neurons in the brain. This random firing sends signals to the body's motor systems, but because of a paralysis that occurs during REM sleep, the brain is faced with a paradox. It synthesizes a narrative by drawing on memory systems in an attempt to make sense of what it has experienced." from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activation_synthesis_theory |
