• Most Common Meaning: This theme is one of intrusion and violation. It is most frequently associated with concern that some outside element is intruding into the dreamer's personal life, such as a stressful work situation invading the personal life. This is an extremely common dream for both men and women. Among women it appears to be slightly more associated with relationship and dating factors. It can be useful to think of the house as your self, and the intruder as a fear or a threatening situation.

• Useful Question:
  • What elements in life are impinging on your peace of mind currently?

Keep in mind that the real-life factors will not be nearly so horrifying as the dream intruder. Things in dreams are always exaggerated, so look for a worrisome but less dramatic situation. If the situation is a matter of your own fears, discuss them with friends to see if you are just torturing yourself needlessly.
