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.
Screaming
Screaming in dreams — particularly when no sound comes out — is one of the most distressing dream experiences. It represents a desperate need to be heard, express something urgent, or alert others to danger. The inability to scream reflects feelings of powerlessness and voicelessness in waking life. These dreams often occur during sleep paralysis and connect to the feeling of being trapped between sleep and wakefulness.
