Flying
Flying dreams are among the most exhilarating and common dream experiences. They typically represent a desire for freedom, liberation from constraints, or rising above problems. Lucid dreamers often seek out the flying experience as a symbol of control over one's dream life. The ease of flying matters: effortless flight suggests confidence and control, while struggling to fly may indicate obstacles to your ambitions.
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.
