This is a dream I keep having for the last 5 years. and for the last few months I started to have it almost every night. I know that there is some meaning in this, but no matter how I look at it, I just cant see what it means or what I could do to stop having it, so I hope you can help me gain some insight..here goes..
I keep dreaming my parents house. I moved from there about 10 years ago, and they sold it 5 years ago. At first I paid no attention to this dream, since I was attached to this house, and it was the only place I could call home, but now, 5 years later, I think it has been enough time to stop dreaming about it.
In my dream I am still living in that flat, everything looks the same as it looked when I lived there, my old room is there, even my neighbours are the same. I don't feel happy, or sad in that dream, I feel normal, I am not scared, I am just there, going about something ordinary, like watching tv, talking to my neighour, sleeping in my bed.
This dream started changing recently, and now, for the first time I started dreaming that we sold the house and that someone else is living there. At first I was dreaming that I am snekaing into the house while the new owners are at work, I still have the old keys and I am living there while they are away., I am looking out the window to see when they are coming home, and than I am ascaping thru the window, or hiding somplace in the rest of the building. At those dreams I feel scared, scared of beeing cought in the house that is no longer mine, I am tense beacuse I might have to run at any minute, so I am constantly on the look out., and generaly the dream is becoming more tense and harder to handle, it is not pleasnt any more..
Last night I dreamed that I was ringing on the door, because I know that someone else is living there., and when the woman answers the door, I don't want to go inside, I am just asking her to give me the keys I left there, the keys I lost there. I feel I need to go somplace else and I need this key, so I am hurring her to find them and to return them to me. The woman is finaly giving me a single silver shiny key, that I take with me and leave the building.
The dream goes on for a while., and then I wake up. I know this all means something, but I can't determine what...
I lead a really stresfull life, and since I moved out from there 10 years ago, i lived in about 10 defirents places, cities, even countires, got married, divorced, married again.. lots of stress, than also coused me to become mentally ill, bordering on shizotypal characteristics. I fear I am going mad and this dream is not helping me at all to get better
PLEASE HELP!

Parents: dreamer’s superconscious mind
House: dreamer’s mind
Key: symbolize access to solutions
Woman:
unknown conscious aspect of this dreamer
Our dreamer feels like she is moving farther and farther from her inner authority. Her recurring dreams reflect this kind of thinking. The dream house symbolizes the dreamer’s mind. It is the house where she was raised and as such, reflects her consciousness regarding authority—specifically her own authority and divinity.
Note the sequence of the recurring theme in these dreams; at first she still feels at home, then there is a progression that indicates self-deceit, avoidance and fear. The last dream shows a dramatic change—she is asking for the keys she has wanted and she receives them.
As the dream has repeated through the years it has changed from her feeling at home in the house to recognizing that a stranger lives there and she doesn’t even want to go inside. This kind of dream comes to someone who is increasingly ill at ease with her own identity and sense of self. It might be said that she feels like a stranger in her own mind.
Keys symbolize access to solutions. There is an aspect or part of this dreamer that does have the means to solve the difficulties she describes. She is not fully conscious of this part yet, however, something happened in the day previous to the dream that indicates an answer to her questions is closer than it has been previously.
This young woman’s distress is obvious in what she writes about her life in the last decade—moving, marriage, divorce, marriage, living in different countries. Her sense of urgency both in the dream and her commentary reflects a racing mind during waking life. Concentration is difficult for her and without it she is more and more removed from her core Self.
We have several suggestions. First, what happened five years ago? A recurring dream is a recurring message about something that needs to be learned by the dreamer. When the dreamer can remember what was happening when the dream started she has a better chance at pinpointing the lesson at hand. This dreamer will need to remember where she was living, what kind of work she was doing, the people in her life and her thoughts and feelings about these conditions five years ago. She can then look to see how this has played out for several years. For instance, maybe her first marriage was disintegrating five years ago and her reaction was to doubt her own voice, her own authority. Even though she has married again, she still needs to come to terms with herself. This is an example, only the dreamer knows the answer to this and it is likely she will be able to discern what the lesson is.
We are going to emphasize the keys in this dream. Our dreamer also needs to reflect on what happened the week before the dream questions she submitted to us. She will want to look for new information that came her way, an opportunity that presented itself, insights she may have had (such as searching on-line for the meaning of her dream). What understanding has been gained that has added to a sense of Self-control? In other words she needs to figure out what the keys mean to her. Putting this information into practice will help her to heal.
It is possible that this dreamer is coming close to great changes that will aid her to change her consciousness so that her life will be different. This dreamer lives in Croatia, a different continent than the home base for dreamschool.org. As such we are including several links this week to the School of Metaphysics website. Each of these has a potential key to her balance and well-being.
