Hi everyone,

I'm new here. The reason I joined is because I have been having the same dream repeatedly for the past several months (not every night, but more like once a month) and it's starting to drive me a bit crazy. This dream is about our old house. This was the very first house that my husband and I bought when we were very young. We lived in it from 2001-2008 and we sold it in the spring of 2008 when we bought the home that we currently live in. Like I said, this dream is always the same. I am driving home, but instead of driving to our current home, I drive to our old home, even though in this dream I know that we no longer live there and haven't lived there in a decade. However, I continue to drive to our old house anyway. When I get there, I just walk in as if we still lived there. In the dream, everything in the house looks exactly how it did when we lived there. Even our old furniture is there. It's almost like the house is frozen in time, like I'm walking into a time capsule of my life from 10 years ago. Also in my dream, all of our old pets (all of whom have since passed on) are in the house. Even though the house looks exactly the same and all of our old belongings are there, I know in my dream that we don't live there anymore. It's so strange. This dream is driving me crazy! I have been trying to figure out what this dream could possibly represent. The only thing that I can come up with is that my subconscious must be longing for the simpler times or the "good old days." Life has been very chaotic and stressful lately for a variety of different reasons and times were definitely MUCH simpler and much more stress-free when we lived in that house. My husband and I have a ton of great memories of that house and many great times were had during the 7 years that we lived there. Times have definitely changed over the last 10 years and I sometimes find myself missing the days of when we lived in this house. I could be totally off base, but that's the best I could come up with.

Any thoughts as to what this dream means and why I keep having it over and over again?
