I keep having these two dreams -- they almost pick up right where they leave off each time have them. The first one is that Tim and I buy another house. It's more of an old, rambling house with lots of sunlight and wood. The house needs a little work, but it's bigger and nicer than the memory of my own house. Of course I realize somewhere along there -- that we didn't need a new house, but it was already done. Spur of the moment.
The second dream is a large apartment for 750 -- it's the top floor of a house and it has no windows. It's fueled by wood heating, it's an open plan with only the room and bathroom -- off to the side. Tim and I are trying to justify why we should move here. We would save money -- but what are we saving it for? I looked it over and over ... inspecting everything but in the end decide that its stupid to move to an apartment when we already have a house.
These are different than my regular house dreams in which I find whole new floors with tons of rooms either in the basement, or the attic or in the shed, or behind a door I never thought to open or on the roof. Those all (according to internet research) symbolize budding interests/talents/skills what have you inside yourself.
But the new house? I can't quite understand what the internet is telling me on that note.

I cleaned today. Watched Comedy Presents, Simon Birch and cut the rubber edges off of my new stamps. I slept in to the sound of the rain -- and felt kind of bad that we had to disappoint Pluto by denying him a trip to the dog park. The rain just wouldn't stop and mud is a recipe for slipping and hurting the dog ...or at the very least getting him very, very dirty.
I was really hungry and toasted two small leftover pancakes and microwaved a small potato. I feel better now, but would rather hurry up and make dinner. Too bad DH isn't home yet -- he still off being a nerd. But now that I think about it, maybe I am more in need of a nap. The silverware can be washed later.

You're between two states--
wanting to be young and revived and do the things you used to do, before you had the responsibilities you have now, and wanting to move on to the next phase of more responsibility or status, or domesticity.
Huh...I sometimes have those new rooms/new levels in the basement dreams, too. Often these catacomb-like rooms will be filled with amazing rummage sales, or old forgotten antiques. I'll wake up and feel disappointed that there aren't really super deals in a huge catacombs under my house.
Once I dreamed that we had a giant former school cafeteria in our basement, though, and there were 100 refrigerators running down there -- many with old yucky food inside. I was distraught because I had no idea how to get rid of 100 refrigerators, much less how to stomach cleaning them out.
