Ex-Partner
Unresolved feelings, patterns, self-reflection
House
Self, psyche, identity
Ex-Partner
Dreams about ex-partners are extremely common and usually don't mean you want to get back together. Instead, they often represent unresolved emotional patterns, qualities of that person you've internalized, or aspects of yourself that were prominent during that relationship. The ex may symbolize a particular time in your life rather than the actual person.
House
Houses are one of the most significant dream symbols, almost always representing the dreamer's self or psyche. Different rooms represent different aspects of personality: the attic represents higher consciousness and memories, the basement represents the unconscious and repressed material, bedrooms represent intimate aspects of self, and the kitchen represents nourishment and creativity. The condition of the house reflects your self-perception.
