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.
Weapon
Weapons in dreams represent power, the capacity for aggression or defense, and the tools you use to protect yourself or exert force. The type of weapon matters: swords represent decisive action, guns represent remote power and sudden impact, knives represent intimate conflict. Whether you're wielding the weapon or facing it determines whether you feel empowered or threatened.
