In a dream it has several aspects. It is a man’s wife, with whom he takes shelter; hence it is said “so-and-so entered his house” when he marries. Sometimes his house signifies his body. If someone says, “I saw that I built a new room in my home”: if he is sick, he will recover and his body will be healthy; likewise, if there is a sick person in his home, it signifies that person’s recovery — unless it is his custom to bury his dead in his home, in which case it will be the sick person’s grave in the home, especially if he built it in an unlikely place, or if along with that there was music, piping, fragrant herbs, or anything indicating calamities. If there is no sick person there, he will marry if he is single, or he will marry off his daughter and bring her husband in with her if she is grown, or he will buy a concubine matching the girl’s worth and appearance.
Whoever sees that he climbed on top of an unknown house will obtain a woman in proportion to the house’s size and worth.
Whoever sees that he is in a new plastered house standing apart from the other houses, and along with that there was talk indicating evil, it is his grave.
Whoever sees that he was confined in a securely shut house with its door locked on him, while the house is in the midst of other houses, will obtain good and well-being.
Whoever sees that he carried a house or went off with it will bear the expenses of a woman; and if a house carried him or went off with him, his wife will bear his expenses.
Whoever sees that his house is made of gold, a fire will strike his house.
Whoever sees that he is coming out of a small house will come out of a worry. A house without a roof in which the sun or the moon has risen is a woman who will be married there. Whoever sees in his home a spacious, mud-plastered room that was not there before, a righteous woman will be added to that household. If it is plastered with gypsum or built of baked brick, it is a sharp-tongued, hypocritical woman. If there is a cellar beneath the house, it is a cunning man; if it is made of clay, it is cunning in religion. A house of iron, if a man sees it, is the long life of his wife with him. If it is of gypsum and baked brick, it is cunning combined with hypocrisy. A dark house, if a man sees it, is a woman of bad, wicked character; if a woman sees it, it is a man of the same kind. If he sees that the house carried itself off with its contents: if people carried it away, it is a calamity for the people of that dwelling. If he sees that he entered a house that has been sprinkled with water, a worry will reach him from his wife in proportion to the wetness and the mud, and then it will be set right and pass. If he sees that he is building in a town a structure containing houses and fortresses, he will marry there and children will be born to him. If he sees that his house is more spacious than it was, goodness and abundance will expand for him and he will gain power through a woman.
Whoever sees that he is laying the foundations of a new house will be struck by great grief. If he sees a new house, his enemy will die. If he sees that he is decorating a house, quarreling and uproar will occur in the house. If he sees his house dark, he will travel on a long journey with neither benefit nor joy. If he sees his house bright, he will travel on a journey and find good in it. If he sees that he is demolishing his house, someone else will inherit his wealth.
