Gold
Gold in dreams represents the highest value — spiritual wisdom, enlightenment, and the divine. Finding gold suggests discovering your true worth or spiritual treasure. In alchemy and Jungian psychology, gold represents the ultimate goal of psychological transformation — the Self.
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.
