Have you had a dream about your childhood home? Dreaming of past homes especially childhood homes is a common experience. Often times people experience such dreams when they are dealing with issues that stem from their childhood past.
The childhood period is where people develop the foundation of who they are. The traditions, emotional patterns, and beliefs that they learn when growing up influence them either negatively or positively as adults.
Why You Dream About Your Childhood Home
So why would you dream about your childhood home? There are many reasons why this happens and they are as follows.
-
Limiting beliefs affecting your current life
You could be having this dream because you have this attitude or belief that is preventing you from achieving what you wish to.
It could be that you need to be in a healthy relationship, achieve success in your career and adopt healthy habits but because of an attitude or belief that was cultivated from childhood, you can’t do those things that you want to do.
Maybe you have always known that settling for less is the way thanks to your upbringing and no one ever told you that if you became a go-getter and refused to settle for less you could achieve unimaginable great things.
It could be time to seek help and eliminate the limiting beliefs that have been strongly ingrained in you. It is never too late.
-
Changing aspects of your life.
Dreams about childhood home could also be because your life is very different from your childhood. Note the things that make your current home life different from your childhood one.
This could indicate that either your standard of living is better than it was during your childhood or it is worse. This will, of course, depend on how your childhood and waking life compare.

Unfinished past business
