Thanks CFTraveler, that helps a lot . I dream a lot about houses of different kinds, and had heard that these might represent the psyche. But I hadn't actually thought of this dream in that way until you mentioned it....it makes sense though!

I've been through a period of dreaming about spirits a lot, some who are known to me and many who aren't. It's the main reason I'm trying to improve my dream recall and possibly lucid dream etc I'm intrigued!

Thanks again.
