My classmates and I go to a haunted house for a field trip, held in my uncle's basement. It's time to go, but I run back downstairs past the cardboard bats and pumpkins hanging in the stairway because I forgot all of my stuff. I get my keys from behind a monitor on a desk in the furthest back room (not decorated Halloweeny at all), a desk that a boy a grade younger than me sits and stares at me like a scared rabbit. I go back to the main room and find my purse on a table, then my jacket underneath the table. I feel like I'm forgetting more, but I run upstairs anyway for fear of being left behind. I make it to the bus seconds before it pulled off. They would have easily left me behind.
I sit in a seat by myself behind a cute boy that teases me for something. To freak him out, I lean close to his face as though I'm going to kiss him. I expect him to pull away, stop teasing me, give me a dirty look or something. Instead, he leans a little forward and almost lets me kiss him. I pull away shyly, yet intrigued. "You almost let me kiss you?" I asked, and he replied, "Of coarse."
He changes seats, I think to get away from me, but I follow him. It was the last time available to change seats, so where ever we sat now would be permenant all the way back to school. I sit behind him, but now instead of being actractive, the boy is now young, ugly, nerdy, immature, and a jerk. He smiles at me wide, proud he tricked me. His mouth is full of magnetic braces, and a folded up pocket knife, owned by his friend sitting next to him, gets stuck on them. [End]

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.

the room) (5). This explains why the hermetically sealed room may possibly be
