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.
Map
Maps represent your ability to navigate life's complexities and plan your course. Reading a map suggests seeking direction or trying to understand where you are in life. A torn or illegible map indicates confusion about direction. A treasure map represents hidden goals or the search for something valuable. Drawing a map suggests taking control of your journey and defining your own path.
