My wife had a dream about the house we are buying. Hoping to figure out what it means.

So my wife and I are buying a house and she had a strange dream about the house last night. She dreamed that we moved in and she was going up the stairs and she noticed that there were huge gaps between the stairs that were not there before. She continued up the stairs and thats when she noticed a door that she had never seen before. She opened the door and it appeared to be an old hospital. There were old hospital beds, rooms, etc... All seemed older much older than the house.

She also has this idea that people had died in the hospital. She didn't see anything in the dream, but had the feeling that people had died in the hospital beds.

Any ideas?

I wouldn't worry too much about the new house because of this dream if I were you.

I am thinking that perhaps your wife was wondering about the new house, wondering whether people had been sick in it, whether anyone had died in it, wondering about its history.

The gaps in between the steps could be about safety concerns. Have you done a home inspection looking especially for anything that may be safety issues? Please note that this dream would in that case not necessarily mean that there are any safety concerns, but it could mean that your wife is subconsciously worried that there might be.

However, the gaps in the stairs could also just be because the new house is not familiar yet, so her mind does not know it well enough yet to reproduce it accurately. Or it could be just to add a general feeling if unease or at least lack of familiarity.

Move to a new home is always stressful in a way, and this dream may just be a reflection of that. Once the house becomes more familiar over time, once it really feels like home, the quality if dreams about it is bound to change: it will then become home and safety, whereas now it is still insecure and unfamiliar and worrying - even if your wife consciously loves the new house, her subconscious has not yet accepted it as home.

Of couse, there may be other interpretations, and if any of these do not sound right, please disregard.

It seems dreams will sometimes use a real experience to symbolise a personal thing.

She maybe noticed gaps in some higher area in herself that she does not normally go to.
That's why when continuing up, she saw a door in herself she hadn't seen before.
Opening it, she saw an old healing area within her, maybe much older than her normal self recalls.

She maybe had the idea old parts of herself had died here.
Just the feeling, not seeing anything probably because of a deep old memory.

The new shifting experience of moving house can easily move you to see new areas inside.
But perhaps it does relate to the home life - which would complete the coincidence - and that area needing some healing.
