A house on water shows the brain sorting through the way a private life rests upon the shifting tides of feeling. This dream identifies a period where the foundations of a personal existence are no longer resting on solid ground, but are instead subject to the movement of a much larger, more unpredictable current.
The process of the mind placing a structure in such an environment suggests a rehearsal for life when the usual certainties of home and security are in flux. The dreamer may find that the structures they have built to define their world are being tested by forces that are beyond their immediate control. There is a possibility that the permanence once felt in one’s life is being lost. However, the dream also shows that a life can remain intact even when the ground beneath it is not fixed.
A house that is floating, surrounded by, or simply in water signifies a willingness to move with the flow of feeling. This movement suggests that the dreamer is learning to exist within a state of transition, where the usual boundaries of a fixed life are replaced by a need to move with the tides of circumstance.
When a house is sinking or is found underwater, the dream indicates that the foundations of life are being pulled down into depths that are hard to grasp. This signifies a movement into heavy emotional states where the familiar order of a home is lost to the pressure of what is being felt.
A house floating away signals a loss of connection to what is held dear. The things that once defined a person’s place in the world are moving too far to be grasped.
The presence of waves crashing on a house intensifies the trials of the dream. These surges bring a heavy grief that strikes at the very walls of one’s private life.

Owen SterlingInterpreter interprets your dreams
Many people believe a frightening dream announces something, when more often the brain was simply sorting the days just before it. During the night the mind files what was carried over from recent hours, and what gets filed loudest is what was felt most. A rough night leaves a residue by morning that fades with daylight. Nothing was sent. The sleeper was working, and the work is done.
