Dream a little dream of....

Rain and earthquakes!

If you've been reading a while, you'll know I have sleep problems and I dream way too much. The other night, I had a couple of dreams, which seemed unrelated, but a bit of research makes things clearer.

I can't explain all of both dreams, but the main things were that I was in a shower in a house with all the doors and windows open, it was clean and new....and it was raining inside the house. In another dream that night, I was with some other people and there were cracks in the ground like there'd been an earthquake. We went into a house that was at the top of a bit of a rise, and there were huge cracks in the floorboards, and there'd been an earthquake inside the house.

Here's some interpretations on the main aspects. Your thoughts??

Shower
To dream that you are taking a shower in clear, fresh water, denotes spiritual or physical renewal or the need to wash a burden out of your life. It is also symbolic of forgiveness. .... Alternatively, your dream may indicate that you are unwilling to let your guard down. You are still keeping up a protective barrier between you and others.

Rain
To dream that you get wet from the rain, signifies that you will soon be cleansed from your troubles and problems. Rain also symbolizes fertility and renewal. To see and hear rain falling, symbolizes forgiveness and grace. To dream that you are watching the rain from a window, indicates that spiritual ideas and insights are being brought to you awareness. It may also symbolize fortune and love. To hear the tapping of the rain on the roof, denotes spiritual ideas and blessings coming to mind. It may also suggests that you will receive much joy from your home life.

House
To see a house in your dream, represents your own soul and self. Specific rooms in the house indicate a specific aspect of your psyche. In general, the attic represents your intellect, the basement represents the unconscious, etc. If the house is empty, then it indicates feelings of insecurity. If the house is shifting, then it suggests that you are going through some personal changes and changing your belief system.

To see an old, run-down house in your dream, represents your old beliefs, attitudes and how you used to think or feel. A situation in your current life may be bringing about those same old attitudes and feelings. Alternatively, the old house may symbolize your need to update you mode of thinking. To see a new house in your dream, indicates that you are entering into a new phase or new area in your life. To dream that your house is broken into, suggests that you are feeling violated. It may refer to a particular relationship or current situation in your life. Alternatively, it indicates that some unconscious material is attempting to make itself known. There are some aspects of yourself that you have denied.

Earthquake
To dream of an earthquake, suggests that you are experiencing a major "shake-up" that is threatening your stability and foundation. The dream highlights your insecurity, fears and sense of helplessness. If you find cover from the quake, you will overcome these challenges. If you become trapped or injured during the quake, you will suffer loss of your business and assets.

Yup, the first thing I thought of without referring to your research was that the house in your dream meant your life and soul and the shower meant that you're cleaning and renewing.

The earthquake was a little harder for me to visualize, but I thought about being careful of your footing where you go so you don't fall in. In other words, you're on shaky ground, so step carefully so you don't get lost.

I think dream interpretation is absolutely fascinating and I love your posts where you analyze them. Keep your chin up grasshopper, I'm thinking of ya!

It's always so interesting to see how much detail you recall. But the other interesting thing is how our subconcious really does play into how we see things.

As far as dreams go, I get a lot of deja vu, but can't remember most of my dreams when I wake up.
