Reoccuring Dream-part

[apathyendstheworld]

It isn't a fully reoccurring dream, it is a certain part that randomly occurs in various dreams of mine.  I've not yet been able to figure out what it means.

In this part, I always find myself with my older sister in the house I grew up in, in my small bedroom upstairs (which is always distorted in a very particular way.)  Whether she initiates the dialogue or I do, it ends up concerning the fact that I never go up there anymore, because I have a room downstairs now.

In real life, I never had a bedroom downstairs.  My sister's room was down there.
The only real connection I can make is that I've always been kind of a hermit when it comes to my bedroom, but I don't see anything beyond this, and I don't understand why this part keeps coming into random dreams.

Any ideas?

Consider this, houses very often represent those environments of activity that secure us and give our lives structure; therefore, the house where you were raised could suggest your thoughts on those social environments and experiences that nurtured your social development.  Bedrooms could suggest your thoughts regarding the most intimate aspects of your social experience and development.  Being on a floor above another is likely about engaging experiences on a level of activity above what may have been your usual.  Overall, if this were my dream, I would probably view it as a reflection of my thoughts on elevating some intimate aspect of my life to a more refined level.  I hope this helps.

I think this could well have to do with not only how you see yourself now, but your relationship with your sister in the now.

Back then when you had a room upstairs, you were younger. Your sister had her room below. In your life now, you have a room downstairs - like what your sister had in your family home.

I'm wondering what your relationship with your sister is like these days? For example, does she treat you like an adult or still like her 'little brother/ sister'? I ask this because sometimes older siblings can be condescending towards younger siblings, which the younger ones might secretly resent.

My overall impression is that it's a good dream, telling you that you are an adult in your own right and have no need to check out your old childhood room 'upstairs'.
