An interpretation of childhood home dreams

An interpretation of childhood home dreams

This interpretation is from ""The Dream Interpretation Dictionary: Symbols, Signs, and Meanings" and is provided by J.M. DeBord aka "RadOwl". He is the author of several acclaimed books about dreaming, the host of The Dreams That Shape Us podcast, and is a moderator of r/Dreams, one of the largest dream sharing communities on the internet. Dreaming about your childhood home can be a reminder of where something in your life began. Where a pattern started. The roots of everything you are now in mind, body and spirit. Thoughts, feelings, perceptions, beliefs, values, principles, morals, personality, character, strengths, weaknesses, and so on. This is a very important point for understanding dreams. They speak not only to the present, but also to how the present connects with the past. As you dream, new information and experiences are integrated with the existing structure of your psyche, so of course both new information and the old information will be represented. There’s a reason your mind goes back in time. It wants you to understand what underlies your life now, the foundation upon which you are built. Rarely is a dream about your childhood home just reminiscing, though one can be triggered by a recent reminder, such as when you see a home that’s similar in appearance to your childhood home. Situations related to personal and financial security can spark dreams about your childhood home, such as when your living situation is insecure, or you need support and think of your family because they’re a source of support. Or just the opposite: maybe they’ve never been much help to you, and your childhood home sums up all your thoughts and feelings about it in one image. A root cause of dreams about your childhood home is unhappiness with your life. Your mind goes back to a time when you were happy as a way of showing you what made you happy back then: a sense of belonging; loving and caring people in your life; freedom to explore; stability, simplicity, close interaction. Dreams want you to understand why you are suffering and where the problems started. For a terrific example, see: Family Home. A childhood home can be symbolized indirectly in a way that characterizes what yours was like. For example, an orphanage, haunted house, playground, asylum, neighborhood, school, circus, or zoo. A childhood home is specific symbolism, but you can still get ideas about it from the entries below.
