ESSAY : What is the symbolic meaning of mansions in dreams?

Houses in dreams are symbols of your own personality. They are the home of the soul. Yet mansions are large homes. They tend to link to issues where your feelings and those of others are very much entangled together.

"I have just been interviewed for a newspaper and lied about one or two things to make myself sound better. I did it because I felt I could get away with it."[Dream symbol - this quote is based on a dream that is featured in full at the end of this article][Dream symbol - Country mansion dream]

"My coworkers are all fighting at the moment. I thought it was to do with me. It has been getting me down."[Dream symbol - weapnoness park mansion dream]

"He keeps prying into my private affairs. He doesn’t want to take the hint"[Dream symbol - country mansion dream]

"I was trying to cheer up my boss who is ill but she would not let me. She just wanted to be on her own"[Dream symbol - mansion dream]

"I have been trying to make everyone at work feel a bit more cheerful. I just wanted to improve the atmosphere"[Dream symbol - huge mansion dream]

"looking at this factor alone its impractical - it could never happen at all. The relationship could never happen because she comes from a very different background "[Dream symbol - country mansion dream]

"I want to FLOURISH as a person and help teach the kids yet I am not sure if its working right now. They do not seem interested in the way that I would wish. "[Dream symbol - Mansion garden dream]

Mansions can also simply link to the effect of the outside world on us. It maybe that we have become ill and that is having an impact on us. It maybe that something has happened. Mansions then represent the impact of the outside world in shaping our thoughts and feelings. E.g.

"I am a bit depressed because a person I knew from school has just died. He was a year younger than me"[Dream symbol - depressing mansion dream]

SAMPLE DREAM
--------------------------------------
THE DREAM I am near some mansion. It appears to be quite elegant and its in the countryside. There seems to be some connection with a lord who is a major gambler. He is also a bounder and a criminal. I seem to be reading a newspaper for the horse racing.

THE REALITY The dreamer was to be featured in a local newspaper. He actually lied about one or two things in order to make his image seem better.

THE INTERPRETATION Dreams are very much linked to the previous day. Here there was issue that came to mind for the dreamer. He had lied in an interview about himself for the local newspaper. That was quite a good fit for the dream.

The dream features a mansion. Mansions are huge houses and any large building in dreams symbolises your personality and the outside world. Its an issue involving other people.

The lie is also covered in several other senses. The gambling is a sign of risk taking and the chance of being found out. The criminal is symbolic of the dreamers awareness that he has done something wrong. The Lord symbolises his attempts to make himself seem more important. The countryside may even be symbolic of the dreamers knowledge that his lie will be difficult to detect - the countryside is remote and cut off.

Symbolic Meanings
COUNTRYSIDE : "remote - the dreamers lie is not likely to be found out "
CRIMINAL : "the dreamers awareness he has done something wrong - told a lie in this interview"
GAMBLER : "taking a risk - the chance of a lie being found out"
LORD : "trying to make yourself appear as important as you can"
MANSION(Large building) : "Some feeling that is connected in some way to the outside world. Your thoughts and feelings are being shaped by the outside world"
