Individual rooms and the details of the house:

• The roof: This symbol refers to the highest values of the human being. Strong, durable roof is a sign of strong character and consistency in following the moral standards. Durable roof also symbolizes security and emotional stability. If the roof is full of holes and leaking, it is a warning signal for the dreamer that he should avoid negative content appearing in his life and control his behavior.
• The balcony indicates the dreamer that he must rise above mediocrity, if he is counting on success in the coming days.
• The room reflects the current mood of the dreamer. Nicely decorated, spacious and clean room indicates a good state of psycho-physical dreamer. Grim, empty rooms indicate depression.
• The kitchen symbolizes feelings and good family relations.
• The bathroom is a room connected with the spiritual cleansing, intimacy or an attempt to hide a secret.
• Stairs are a symbol of the passage from one stage of life to another. Climbing stairs promises progress, descending spells regress.
• The bedroom seen in a dream has different meanings. The bed can suggest two extreme situations: the lack of activity in the life of the dreamer or the need for rest. So let's pay attention to the look of the bedroom and the comfort of the bed. The nicer it is the better.
• The bedroom is a place where we usually have sex, so the dream may be a reference to the relationship between you and a partner. If you dream that you hide something under the bed, it is a sign that you lack trust and sincerity towards him/her.
• The cellar reflects the darkest aspects of the psyche of the dreamer; desires or memories repressed from consciousness.
• The window for the dreamer is a symbol of his view of the world. The landscape behind the glass can reflect his perspectives, the current mood or the possibilities. If an area is nice and enjoyable, this is a dream to be received positively, if the land behind the windows is grim, then this reflects poor psychophysical condition. Similarly, the clean, bright and translucent window should be considered as a good sign. A dark and dirty window is a negative sign.
• The door symbolizes openness to the world; new opportunities.

The house is a reference to the mental realm of a man and his personality. There are different ideas about the symbolism of the house in dreams.

According To some theories the upper parts of the house represent the most important things, and the lower floors less important cases.
 The house is a symbol of the human body and its internal and external condition:

1. The roof - brain
2. Doors, windows - the sex organs
3. The cellar – legs
4. The balcony - chest, forehead

According to the psychodynamic concept an individual floor of the house represents the personality.

1. Loft, attic: super-consciousness, spiritual things.
2. The upper floors represent matters related to the logic, self-control, strong will.
3. Ground floor: The level of consciousness.
4. Basement: Identifies the recesses of your psyche, emotions, feelings and desires unaccepted by the dreamer, dirty doings, things you are trying to hide from the others.

Sigmund Freud is yet another point of view, in which each hole in the house represents the female sexual organs, and entering through them is a metaphor for sexual intercourse.
