I woke up this morning unsettled and questioning what drives me to have such a vision. Is it anger? It was a dream that had such a surreal feeling with mixed emotions. I woke up with a jumble of emotions uncertain of what to make of them.
I was visiting some friends who I do not recognize as from this realm. They lived right off the beach with their parents and maid. I was talking to my friend and he was telling me his plan to transform the house into a climbing gym including the roof. This inspired me to look at the space on the roof. There was a locked gate which I climbed over. The roof had potential, with a nice view of the ocean. I was playing around doing hand stands when my friend yelled up at me to tell me I was not allowed on the roof, I recognized him as Eric. I jump the fence to join them below.
My friends have a few girlfriends over. They are all headed to the beach for a swim. One of them gives me a nice smile which I return as well as a pat on the behind.
Inside the house the maid is discussing how she arranged the wardrobe. Next thing I know my so called friend has stabbed the maid with a fork, I am uncertain of the motive. I am very anxious to flee but he sits me down at the table to discuss a matter that he needs my help with. I am uninterested but comply so that his anger does not get projected on me.
Mystics have always traditionally considered the feminine aspect of
the universe as a chest, a house or a wall, as well as an enclosed garden. Another
symbolic association is that which equates the house (and the above, related
forms) with the repository of all wisdom, that is, tradition itself (4). In architectural symbolism, on the other hand, the house carries not only an overall symbolism but also particular associations attached to each of its component parts.
Nevertheless, the house as a home arouses strong, spontaneous associations with
the human body and human thought (or life, in other words), as has been confirmed empirically by psychoanalysts. Ania Teillard explains this by pointing
out that, in dreams, we employ the image of the house as a representation of the
different layers of the psyche. The outside of the house signifies the outward
appearance of Man: his personality or his mask. The various floors are related to
the vertical and spatial symbols. The roof and upper floor correspond to the head
and the mind, as well as to the conscious exercise of self-control. Similarly, the
basement corresponds to the unconscious and the instincts (just as sewers do, in
symbols pertaining to the city). The kitchen, since this is where foodstuff is
transformed, sometimes signifies the place or the moment of psychic transmutation in the alchemical sense. The intercommunicating rooms speak for themselves. The stairs are the link between the various planes of the psyche, but their
particular significance depends upon whether they are seen as ascending or descending. Finally, there is, as we have said, the association of the house with the
human body, especially regarding its openings, as was well understood by
Artemidorus Daldianus (56).

The symbolic significance of the sea corresponds to that of the ‘Lower
Ocean’—the waters in flux, the transitional and mediating agent between the nonformal (air and gases) and the formal (earth and solids) and, by analogy, between
life and death. The waters of the oceans are thus seen not only as the source of life
but also as its goal. ‘To return to the sea’ is ‘to return to the mother’, that is, to die.

The return home, or the return to the material home or to the
