My exhusband N may have stolen all inside doorknobs from a house we both owned, and my mother owns now.  Someone did.  It is empty.  I cannot imagine who else would do that.  It must have taken hours and hours, and whoever did it broke in through the front door.  I just found the doors without knobs this morning.

Someone told me this symbolizes no escape for me.  I know it isn't a dream, but does anyone know if this interpretation may be correct?  My ex stalks and vandalizes.

Friend:
My dearest Cindy, Please find a women's shelter and leave NOW.  keep us posted if you can. I'm praying for you. . . .be safe . . .but get out.. . NOW

Maybe the beautiful decoration inside is your 'self' and it may be in a 'terrible state' because you are struggling with some painful issues.
JMHO .....  only you can interpret the deeper meaning of your dreams based on your own life experiences, but look beyond the obvious.  

I dreamt a neighbor stabbed me.  This neighbor is my friend and peace loving -- but she represented another person in my dreams/life -- stabbing can mean betrayal....    Good luck.   :lol:

Hello, and thanks.  First of all, my computer normally logs me on automatically, but didn't yesterday, and it was me, October, with the house.  Secondly, the house being me.  I suppose this is true, and I need to rethink some of those dreams.  There are generally lots of (family) people around, but I seem to be the only one concerned to repair the building, or able to see the details, like the cornices and carvings and such.  And there is always a lovely long staircase.  I thought it symbolised my family, but didn't think it was me.  And the roof is clearly protection, because I am left without any kind of emotional protection.

There is clearly more to dreams than I thought.  Perhaps I can look into that area in safety.  I find that it is difficult to look at areas of abuse or narcissism, because I am not strong enough.  This could be a route forward.   :D

I'm hiding, too.  And I usually think it's 'for the worse', too.

Use the time to be 'you'.  That's a good thing - and you'll come out again that bit stronger.

And, yes.  The house is our 'self'.  But what a lovely image you have - how nice to have an inner space, an inner life, so beautiful.  (Will you open the door to say 'welcome'?)  :)

Anyone is welcome in 'my' house, as long as they don't mind it being completely unfurnished, but an antique of sorts, and no roof, so if it rains you get wet, and the attics are in a terrible state.  And every time you visit it looks different.  Wear your old clothes, and grab a paintbrush!    :lol:

My great aunt's real house was a Victorian house, with a cellar and servants' rooms in the attic.  It was a beautiful old house, and I think the memories of wandering around it when I was a child have remained.  It was richly decorated, because she inherited it from her employer, and it was beautiful, and full of lovely furniture.  Later on she got dementia, and went into hospital for many years before she died, and the house gradually fell into disrepair.  The family should have sold it, but didn't like to while she was alive, and so it got vandalised, and burgled over and over until it was a very sad shadow of what it had been.  Then when she died I went with my parents for a few weeks to try to paint it a bit before it was finally sold.

Perhaps I will try to explore the dream house while I am hiding here, in my real house for a while.  Try to work out what it could be, if only I could find the way.

Thanks for being positive.  I appreciate that, because I am a positive person, really.   :D

This is very disturbing, and I think I agree with the other reply.  I would get away from this person as far as you can.
