So I had a pretty mundane dream last night. It was in the evening, and in the dream I knew the kids were at their mom's so I was closing the house for the evening and making sure the doors and such were locked. Note in the dream this house was not my current house or any house I was familiar with though of course in the dream, it was my house.
Now, quite awhile ago, many months or longer I would say, I had a dream I had bought a new house. Note that like the dream I had last night this house was not my current house or any house I was familiar with though of course in this older dream, it was my house.
Note also that the two houses were in no way similar.
Now, in the older dream this house was immense on the inside. Room after room, and floor after floor. At one point I had opened the trap door to the attic and started exploring. It was cavernous! Stairs and ladders leading everywhere, rooms and room all over. Pipes, wiring conduits. While I had not thought of this dream in ages I remember it vividly now because it was one of those very clear dreams and quite detailed.
What really was out of the ordinary in my experience though was in the dream I had last night I had just locked up the house and was contemplating going to bed. Then I thought of the attic and how I had not really had a chance to fully explore it. So, I began looking for a flashlight before going up and opening the trap door. I then awoke without ever going into the attic.
What is not mundane here is my memory in the dream last night of the attic was identical to the attic of the older dream. This really was something new to me as I have never accessed a dream memory from an older dream inside a newer one.
I have been pondering this on and off today. The memory of the attic in last nights dream was exactly what I remember from the older one even though I never opened the door to the attic.

I have had recurring "house" dreams further back than I can recall. I was usually scared and each house got smaller and smaller, darker and darker, more terrifying each time. The last house dream was of a huge open spacious spectacular home (note not house) where I was assured and felt safe. The first "house" dream where someone else appeared. The first I felt calmed and assured.
Weird dreams or subconscious psychological dealings with an issue? Ah if we only knew workings of mind better.
Have you ever delved into dream interpretation? I'm not sure I agree with practice but as I wrote above when they link it is tempting to analyze.
