When you visit a family home you used to live in, it can be a way of revisiting the past, exploring the roots of who you are now and where you are in your life. Or back in that home is a part of yourself that’s left behind. A family home can be dreamed about as a way of pointing to when something began that’s relevant now. It is where patterns take hold, habits start, ideas form, and thought processes begin. You don’t dream about a family home simply to reminisce. You dream about it because your present life is patterned after, or affected by, what started there. For example, a young man dreams he’s a kid again and back in his old family home with his sister, also a kid again. A siren sounds. A tornado is coming. Ominous black clouds dominate the sky. He goes to the basement and his sister is down there. She screams, “I should have seen it coming!” What the siblings should have seen coming was their parents’ divorce when they lived in that home. She’s in the dream because she shared in the experience and was affected too. The detail about being a kid again in his family home is clue that the dream is about something that happened when he was that age. The tornado symbolizes the mess of tumultuous feelings related to the divorce, and the black clouds symbolize the ones hanging over his life since the divorce. The siren warns of the coming difficulty as the feelings finally come out. He can repress it all back down into his “inner basement,” but it’s coming up now in his dreams, years after the fact, because he’s ready to deal with it even if he doesn’t consciously know it. People starting a family will dream about their family home as a way of thinking about the environment they want to create—or avoid creating—for their children. You might dream about your family home because you want to create a similar living environment for yourself, with love, acceptance, connection, belonging, purpose, meaning. Or you want to avoid recreating the stress, loss, and hard feelings you grew up with. What does a family home symbolize for you? For some people it’s a place of great comfort. Many special memories are formed there. Adults can dream about their family home (and family members) during challenging times as a way of drawing strength from it. For them, the family home is the foundation of adult life, their rock. For other people it’s a source of unresolved issues. They are called home in their dreams to sort things out.
