I have had this dream over and over again throughout my life. I used to have dreams like this frequently when i was younger in elementary school but had not had them much since....until recently....it has been occurring a lot. The dream: I am in a house where i used to live or play or its just a familiar place from another dream or something like that (the place changes from dream to dream....but it is always a familiar place that i have not seen in a while) I discover a new room or a new entire floor of rooms. usually the place is furnished too. I investigate around and usually plan on moving in with my family, friends and my boyfriend...because it is a huge place now. but i usually think that it is a bad idea for all of us to move in together. That is about the gist of the dream....it is just strange that i keep discovering new rooms or floors. what does that mean? It is also very strange how much my parents have been in my dreams these past months. i usually never dream about them.
Ah, I see why you mentioned the rooms in dreams for the dream dictionary. See if any of that makes sense. Here is what I put in the dictionary: [QUOTE ="Dream Dictionary"] Rooms in dreams, much like in waking life, are a way to compartmentalize aspects of our lives. We undertake certain tasks in certain rooms, for instance we sleep in a bedroom, work in an office room and cook in a kitchen. In dreams different types of rooms represent different aspects of our subconscious, or symbolize thoughts connected with whatever we connect that type of room with in waking life. So, for instance, a kitchen in a dream may represent sustenance, cooking and eating, or even family gatherings - depending on how you use your kitchen in waking life. Furthermore, the state of the room in your dream can tell you something about the message it is trying to convey, i.e. kitchen dreams may be telling you to eat more or eat less, or eat differently, depending on how it appears in your dream. Discovering a new room in your dream could represent discovering a new part of your subconscious, a new aspect of yourself that you haven't explored before, an aspect that your subconscious thinks that you should explore.

I think the fact that you keep finding new rooms in your dreams could indicate that you are always finding out new things about yourself, that you're not the type of person who's content to stay the same forever. Is that true? Perhaps your parents in the dreams really represent an older/future you?
