So we were in the big house of the beach, the one of our grandparents where we have spent so many summers. My sister was talking to me in an increasingly annoying and agressive manner. We were in the balcony of the house and I had this impulse and pushed her so as to make her fall. As soon as she fell and I had looked at her motionless body below I felt the intense remorse of having murdered my sister, just like I would in real life, because I seem to get really engaged with the illusionary reality of dreams. The feeling was like a heavy sorrow in the chest and a lot of anxiety. I then jumped off the balcony somehow and started to run frantically trough the garden to reach the street with just the vague purpose of escaping from the crime with all my body filled with panic. I think the dream ended there but I seem to lose a lot of details and parts from dreams so most likely this is just a fragment, saved from oblivion of the conscious by the imprint of emotion.

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).
