Dream Momma,

A dream that keeps repeating, from time to time, is buying a huge old house that is run down, and fixing it up, or traveling through cities in unknown areas and buying homes that are run down for a great price.

I’m going to get pure Jungian here. That means I am going to look at this dream as if everything in it is symbolic of the dreamer. In other words, his psyche is the old house and his conditional quest for old houses that are run down (for a great price) is how this dreamer engages in unconscious wish fulfillment.
