Floating
Floating dreams exist between flying and falling — they represent a state of suspension, neither rising nor descending. This can symbolize a transitional period in life, emotional detachment, or a state of peace and acceptance. Floating on water specifically relates to emotional buoyancy and trust in the flow of life.
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.
