Dream Interpretation: Spooky Attic!

You dream of an attic, but instead of the typical space filled with luggage, Christmas decorations, old toys, and so on, it has a more spooky and sinister appearance and undertone.

The Dream

In the dream, you likely hear the floorboards creaking even though you know that the attic is empty – no one should or could be up there. You might even hear voices or murmurs, although it’s unlikely you can make out full conversations. The possessions you see appear odd and are arranged in peculiar ways. You feel very scared, torn between thinking you should investigate and imagining finding a ghost or something worse if you do! You need peace of mind that nothing strange is happening – but how can you achieve it?

Dream Meaning

Different rooms in a house typically represent aspects of your character. The top of a house, the attic, is associated with your head and symbolises what is happening in your brain – your thoughts, feelings, and more.

Dreams bring forth memories and ideas from your waking life. Attics are often used for storage, and their contents can reflect plans and projects that you have had to abandon for various reasons.

It is likely that something in your waking life has brought these old ideas, hobbies, and projects to mind, making you feel restless to explore them once more.

Earlier we mentioned creaking floorboards; they represent the steps you need to take to bring your ideas to fruition. Similarly, the voices you heard symbolise the things you need to communicate verbally to others about your plans. Even the arrangement of items in the attic holds meaning; it signifies all the variations of your ideas and plans and how they might unfold.

In Your Waking Life

It can be scary to consider your past and look at the ‘what might have been’s.’ The path not taken is now calling you back. It could be a pastime that you have long forgotten, but something has awakened that spark once more. The dream is telling you to open yourself up to new and exciting possibilities. Bring ideas and projects back to life. Maybe earlier on, you did not have the time, energy, or resources to bring something to fruition – but it could be that you do now.

In dreams, a house often represents ourselves. If you think about it, attics are a lot like forgotten areas of the brain where we park and store information for some point in the future. Now is the time to take that ‘something’ out of the attic/brain – dust it off and see in the cold light of day how it might work for you.
