The most recurring theme in many of my dreams are fishing (rivers and lakes not oceans). When fishing, I rarely catch anything, just the process of fishing. I also dream in color, sound, and temperature.

I have two recurring dreams, both about houses. The one I have had the longest, over 25 years, is about trying to return to an apartment I lived in when I was a kid. I am always trying to get back, and when I get home, the building is empty, but I am relieved to be back.

The second is about Biltmore House in Asheville, N. C. We've visited it three times.  After the first visit I started having dreams about 6 months apart. The house always looks different in each dream, but I know it's the Biltmore.  When we first visited, the third floor was not open to the public.  I had a dream about the third floor, and when we actually visited it later when it was open, it was just like my dream.

You said some very powerful things - in your post. 

 

First of all - you need to understand - that you have a deep connection with your past.  You feel comfort in your past.  Your soul gravitates to the memories of your past - those that were pleasant - I suppose.

 

Second - you see your progression into your future.  You accept the growth and transition.  However - there is apart of you that is 'amazed' at how far you have come.  You are amazed at the success you have achieved - as you are comparing it to the 'Biltmore' house.   The image of this house represents some level of prominence and wealth - that you have received - as a result of your efforts.

 

Lastly - you stated that the third floor of the house was closed - but - when you returned to it in your dream it was open.  This suggest levels of success in your life that you have obtained - that were once - out of reach for you - but have now become reality.

The answer: This dream speaks of 'opportunity' - and - your perception of it.  You see yourself as having moderate opportunities - however - you have not considered yourself to be fortunate enough to catch anything of significant value - through the opportunity.
