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.
Number Three
Three represents the creative principle, expression, and the resolution of duality into synthesis. The trinity archetype appears in countless traditions: Father/Son/Spirit, Maiden/Mother/Crone, past/present/future. In dreams, three often represents the beginning, middle, and end of something, or the mind-body-spirit connection. Three objects or events suggest a pattern or a message about creative expression.
