What research shows
The house is the most common dream setting recorded in content analyses, ahead of any outdoor location — most dreaming happens indoors.
Places · one of the most reported
Dreaming about houses
The self as a structure. Rooms you did not know about are the most reported variant, and they read as capacity rather than secrecy..
The psychological reading
The building maps onto the self closely enough that the room matters: basements read as what is stored, attics as what is inherited, kitchens as what sustains.

Figures come from the Typical Dreams Questionnaire, the standard instrument in dream research since 1958. Dream dictionaries almost never cite a number for how common a dream actually is — the research exists, it just does not get quoted.
The version matters
Different ways this dream shows up
Most dream dictionaries give one meaning for the whole symbol. In practice the specific version carries most of the information — losing every tooth and losing one tooth are not the same dream.
How to record a dream, why the feeling matters more than the content, and when recurring nightmares are worth a doctor rather than a dictionary — set out once on the main page.
Before you look anything up
How the dream felt matters more than what was in it. The same image can arrive as comfort or as threat, and that difference tells you more than any entry in a dictionary — including this one.
