Intruder
An intruder in your home represents a violation of your personal boundaries — someone or something is invading your most private psychological space. The intruder can represent a repressed aspect of yourself demanding attention, an actual person whose presence feels invasive, or general anxiety about safety and vulnerability. How you respond to the intruder reveals your approach to boundary violations.
Singing
Singing in dreams represents the deepest form of self-expression — putting your inner feelings into vibration. Singing beautifully suggests confident self-expression. Singing off-key or being unable to sing indicates difficulty expressing yourself. Hearing beautiful singing may represent your soul's voice or a message from the unconscious. Singing with others represents communal harmony and shared expression.
