I have this dream about my childhood home. This home was the place of a lot of pain and hurt for me. My mom passed away in this house and it was in horrible condition. Filthy, discusting. I never brought people over because of this. In my dream I have people over and they are spending the night in this house. Same setting different people. What does it mean?

To me, it sounds like you either wish you could go back and have that house be that way (clean and good) or that you have finally made peace with your Mom and now are happy with the way your life is going now.

Best,

Clyde

What do you feel in the dream? Are you embarrassed or uncomfortable to have the people sleeping over because of the filthy condition of the house? It could be that you are embarrassed of this past part of your life, and you are forced to revisit it with people looking on, and knowing about the filth of that place in your life. This could be just the home, or about the things that happened when you were living there. You might be afraid of what others would think of you if they knew.

If you still have pain from that time, it would be worthwhile to explore it with a counselor or doctor and heal the part of you that still feels that way, even though that time of your life is gone. Our subconscious has a way of not letting us forget the things we haven't dealt with, even when they are no longer a part of our daily life.

People will like you for who you are, and if you choose to tell them about that part of your life, they will still like you for who you are and understand how that time shaped you. Don't be afraid.

Best of luck.
