I was wandering around a giant house last night. It was definitely my childhood home. I remember going down the spiral staircase. I really don't remember much of it, except that at one point, I became lucid. There were two women I didn't recognize in the kitchen. One of them was quite old. I decided to take a shoebox that I got from who knows where and bash her over the head a few times with it, just to see what would happen.
She didn't notice. I bashed the other lady. They wen't on acting like I wasn't there. I wondered if I wasn't there. Then I wondered that maybe these are the people who are renting that house from my father right now, and I decided to astral project myself there in dreaming, and I was acting like an obnoxious toddler trying to get their attention. I hit them both a couple more times, and nothing happened. They were obviously preparing to cook something. I was obviously in another dimension.
I kind of laughed to myself at myself, and then wandered off into a lucidity-less dream that I can't even remember now.
To remember something in your dream, indicates that you have learned something significant from your past mistakes or previous experiences. The dream may also serve as a reminder of something important that is occurring in your waking life. You are so worried that you will forget something that the preoccupation has made its way into your dream.
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).
To see a house in your dream, represents your own soul and self. Specific rooms in the house indicate a specific aspect of your psyche. In general, the attic represents your intellect, the basement represents the unconscious, etc. If the house is empty, then it indicates feelings of insecurity.

All of your experiences, stages of development, and parts of your conscious and unconscious life may be represented by that house.

Either way, if you pay attention to the details in this dream, you may learn a thing or two about yourself.
