House
A house often reflects the architecture of the self — its rooms holding different aspects of who you are, its condition mirroring your inner sense of stability or neglect. Building suggests intention taking form, while decay may ask what you've left unattended, though neither prescribes a fixed outcome.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for house, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream of building a house, you will make wise changes in your present affairs.
To dream that you own an elegant house, denotes that you will soon leave your home for a better, and fortune will be kind to you.
Old and dilapidated houses, denote failure in business or any effort, and declining health.
[94] See Building.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream you build a house denotes you will have a comfortable life: to burn your house signifies increased riches: to dream you spill water in a house is a sign of care and affliction: to dream you see a house fall denotes death. Dreaming of building houses, wearing fine clothes, and talking with ladies, is a sign that the parties will suddenly marry.
