IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING BUILDINGS, SETTINGS & HOUSES IN DREAMS
Houses in dreams as well as buildings or settings generally have to do with a life situation.
Scriptures says that a house divided cannot stand; a metaphor for a situation. Jesus spoke of building a house on a rock rather than on sand; saying that any and every situation should be built on solid ground. Matthew 7:24-29
When the setting of a dream is a building, room or other location; think of it like a parable. The location depicts the situation. The message is, “there’s a situation in your life that looks like”…
The situation can be your health, a ministry, a career or job, a relationship, a church situation, a financial situation, a family, a person, or perhaps the body of a person.

Homes vs. Houses in dreams:
While a house is necessary for human survival, a home is necessary for human fulfillment and may symbolize a place you belong and a place of rest or relief. Your dream may or may not distinguish between the two, or the word “home” may be used.
Very common. Unfamiliar homes are given rather than literal ones because they are metaphors anyway. This also helps you to not focus the house itself, but on the other elements.
What’s the different between an apartment and a single-family dwelling (house)? Notice that everyone with a unit in the building is experiencing approximately the same thing. Dreaming that you live in an apartment (especially when you don’t) indicates that you are going through something either common to man or that many others are also going through at the time of the dream.
