Darkness
Darkness in dreams represents the unknown, the unconscious mind, and fear of what you cannot see. Complete darkness suggests being 'in the dark' about something important. Fear of the dark reflects fear of the unconscious and its contents. However, darkness can also be a womb-like, protective state — a necessary emptiness before new creation. The response to darkness (fear vs. acceptance) is diagnostically important.
Furniture
Furniture represents the structures of your daily life — your comfort zone, habits, and the psychological 'furnishing' of your inner world. A well-furnished room suggests a well-ordered inner life. Empty rooms with no furniture indicate emptiness or the potential for new beginnings. Moving furniture suggests rearranging your life or priorities. Broken furniture represents broken routines or comfort zones.
