Interpretation of the moving dream
“I’m dreaming that it is my moving day but the boxes aren’t packed yet”: These are dreams that often come up when management and planning of the tasks around the move are not controlled.
If you have this type of dream, you probably need to focus on a better planification and have a clear idea of how the move is going to work out step by step. You can already make a draft to schedule the moving day and its key moments:
- At what time does the moving company arrive?
- When do you have to be at the new address?
- At what time is the handover of the keys?
This dream should not come back if you have been able to list out the key moments and if you no longer have any doubt about your schedule.
“I have dreamed that I was preparing my move and there were more and more boxes to pack. I could not manage to pack them all.”: This kind of dream clearly means that you are anticipating the organization of the move and are afraid to be overwhelmed.

Dreaming of moving
Why do people dream of moving when they do not plan to move? Moving is above all a change of perspective. Your unconscious mind is telling you that something needs to change or that something must end.
The interpretation of the dream depends on the emotions felt in the dream. Positive emotions are good omens but, more often thant not, dreams related to moving houses can be distressing.
Interpretation of the dream of moving when you are not planning to move
If you have dreamed about moving and you felt great about it: This new home is your “inner self”. If entenring this new home makes you feel positive emotions it means that you have succeeded in changing a part of your deepest nature, and this change is beneficial.
On the other hand, to feel negative emotions in a new house, this ‘inner self’, informs the dreamer that something is not right for them. The dreamer is not in tune with who they really are.
“Bad people are trying to force their way into my house and I can’t close the door completely and/or can’t lock it fully. The door is always a little bit open and I use all the weight of my body to keep these intruders out of my house. I am panicking.” This dream reflects a fear about being and feeling secure in one’s life. The dreamer most likely doesn’t have a strong enough support system or is lacking strong foundations in their life.
“I dream that my furniture is being moved by someone else, and I have no part in the situation. Nothing goes right. My furniture breaks. The truck is too small”: This type of negative dream may indicate that the dreamer is suffocating in their current life. It is time to regain control of the situation and to get to the bottom of it. The dreamers must ask themselves: who am I and what do I really want?
On the other hand, dreaming of carrying out the move yourself and feeling bad about it may indicate a desire to escape from something.
“I dream about moving and the furniture doesn’t fit in the removal van. I am forced to part with some of my furniture and not being able to take it all with me makes me feel bad and sad.”: The furniture symbolises the dreamer’s habits and the routines that make them feel secure. Seeing a truck overloaded with furniture can mean that the dreamer’s habits and way of life are suffocating them.
