Childhood home

House you grew up in, Old family home, Childhood house

The house you grew up in holds your first sense of rules, safety and family roles, so dreams often return there. Something in your life now may be stirring the same feelings you had back then: being the youngest, the helper, the peacemaker or the one who wasn't heard. A warm, happy visit suggests you're drawing strength from those early years. A changed, empty or neglected house can show that the past looks different to you now, or that an old story about yourself is due for a rewrite.
