This dream was very poignant and started out with seeing Huge archways.. Then zooming towards a massive arch way with tall doors that were like 15 feet high towering above.. The doors were thick and felt protective but delicately carved with design.. as I am moving through these doors I hear a voice say 'This is your home!' and I was almost overwhelmed.. it was specifically a three story, five bedroom, three and a half bathroom house.. The kitchen was small but perfect and led to a bigger one and both were all Black appliances with dark Cherry wood as I have always wanted and there was a HUGE thick teak or cherry wood table that seemed to be enormous [So I recall thinking it meant I could feed a lot of people there..] There was a cornucopia in the center of the table.. Abundance!!
There were ornate designs every where and meticulous style throughout the entire house.. cascading down the winding staircase was an extra half-bathroom off to the side of the curve as you went down the stairs, with vines overhanging the light fixtures, and there was a Huge window as you came down out-looking the gardens outside.. and as I went to go down the stairs slowly.. I see [Ellen Degeneres] there at the top of the stairs with a vacuum/shampooer thing that was sucking up and straightening out the carpet.. but it looked all bunched up and such creating ripples of carpet, almost cartoonish.. She seemed to be in a serious demeanor.. I recalled noticing she wasnt in 'Funny' mode, she was almost nervous, and she seemed slightly distressed and disappointed that she hadn't fixed the carpet, She finally said 'Oh Hello, I didnt know you would be here yet, I Really wanted to have everything fixed up for you before you arrived..' but I was So Honored and recall thinking it was funny she even mentioned the carpets, but Feeling so lovely that she cared so much about that for me.. What a wonderfully sweet reflection!
Apparently, as she was a former owner of this 'house' and I think we talked a bit and in the dream I was thinking 'why is she of all people here, how interesting..' but not too perplexing as I have felt a mercurial connection with her in regards to her particular style of expression.. I feel that the message in this dream is something I may not completely understand yet, the ethereal essence of 'passing the torch'.. we shall see..

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).
