Been a couple of years since I have posted here *waves*
I need some help with interpreting one of my dreams. For the past year or so I have had this recurring dream every month or so.
I dream that I am in this large house - not a mansion, but nice. maybe 3 or 4 bedrooms. It is not a house that I recognize ever being in in RL.
Now here's the weird part. I will be going about my life in the house (sometimes alone, in some dreams I live with others), and suddenly I will remember this room in my house that I haven't visited in over a year. In my dream, I have lived in the house for several years, and as a minimalist in RL, it is an odd concept to me to have a completely abandoned room in my house.
Anyway, the thing that gets me is the euphoria I feel when I remember this room. It is like I have been living in this house for years, and just remembered the attic / basement / back room (it takes many forms in different dreams), and I am completely overcome with excitement. The best way I can think to describe it is imagine that you just realized that you had an old room in your house full of old artifacts, toys and good memories. You'd be happy, right?
The recurrence of the dream makes me think there is some meaning to it. Is it a part of my own mind that I have forgotten that I have? Does my self-conscious resent my minimalism?
Any ideas or suggestions appreciated - would love to get to the bottom of it!
