I had this dream where I was in this house where everything was made of some type of sweets and if you didnt eat anything twice a week the house would try to eat you cause the house wants you to eat it. So I was checking out the house and I waited too long so then the walls tried to eat me so then I went in the kitchen and started eating the walls witch were made of chocolate and then the house stopped. I also tried eating the kitchen floor witch was like some type of cookies and the carpet in the bedroom and im not sure what the carpet was but it was good. Then when I was done everything I ate came back and I tried eating the carpet again but then it just turned into a regular carpet and everything else went to normal too. There where other things that happend like I was in someones house and the people that lived there were nice people but in both this house and the candy house I had this uneasy feeling but not like really uneasy just a little bit.

Looks like you were trying to take care of yourself, by eating the house. If you don't, you will get eaten up. Also the dream could relate to a real life co-dependent situation you are in.

The house represents a state of mind or mental attitude. Here it appears that you are using a mental attitude that is completely focused - or even obsessed - upon the issue of sweets. Here, it is your understanding that sweets must be eaten twice a week. This means that the act of eating sweets is to remain a negative act. Your own ego structure (also represented by the framework of a house) seems to demand this. If you do not maintain a negative view of eating sweets, your own ego structure which gives you your sense of Self - who and what you are - will turn against you. The walls eating you could be understood as in our expression, "what's eating you?". Here this can simply mean that your own sense of who and what you are will greatly bother you if you cease regarding the eating of sweets as a negative, wrong idea.

In a situation in which plans can be made for future satisfaction (the kitchen), you are accepting a sweet and practical idea (eating chocolate) backed by your ego (the wall). The principle on which you stand when doing this is seen as a reward for the very innocent and ignorant (cookie floor). But when using a personal point of view with which you could rest at ease (the bedroom) there is a pleasure principle (carpet) that is also very good or sweet but not really recognized. (what kind of sweet was the carpet??) This is a principle that allows you to do as you please {as there is no law saying "thou shalt not eat sweets".} Everything you ate coming back can simply imply that even though your ego forces you to regard sweets negatively, you will always be tempted.

[The house of candy strongly associates with the tale of Handel and Gretel, where a witch lured children in with candy to fattened them up to eat them. Incidentally note that you also spelled the word "which" as "witch" twice. The whole scene suggests that you are living with a fairy tale mentality under threat of getting fat from sweets.] Note that you are only able to eat the carpet once, meaning that being allowed to do as you please regarding eating sweets is a positive principle. It is not to be made into a negative principle. When you use this principle positively, you then live with a realistic mental attitude. (everything went to normal) [Realistically, something sweet once in a while will not make anyone fat.]
