Universal Landscape: Thoughts, intellect, and memories.
Dreaming Lens: Were you in an attic? Did you know the house to which it was attached? Was it from your childhood? Were you alone? What was in the space? What were you doing there?
Personal Focus: Any house or home connects to your sense of self. The highest floor of the house corresponds to intellect and thoughts. Attics are often used for storage. In this way, they represent memories, information, and knowledge that accumulate over the course of your life.
The state of the attic in your dream will illuminate your current relationship with your thoughts and memories. A musty, dirty atmosphere means you are in realms that you haven’t visited in a while. This can indicate anything from appropriate nostalgia to unhealthy avoidance. The emotional reaction to your dream will help you come to an accurate interpretation if this is the case. An attic that has been decorated and finished indicates that old material has been cleared out. Your job will be to decide whether this has been the result of a healthy inventory or glossing over of older issues that may have needed more consideration. Since things you are not quite finished with are often stored in an attic, going there in a dream may connect to going more deeply into something that you stored away for another time.
Exploring any part of a house symbolizes an exploration of yourself. An attic indicates that your journey is taking you back to thoughts based on your past. These can include generational influences if the attic contains items that originally belonged to your ancestors. Being trapped in an attic might point to being held hostage by old thought patterns. Someone living in your attic is helping you identify a Character Aspect that has a great deal of power in terms of your thoughts. These could be conscious thoughts as well as the more hidden thoughts that tend to have significant influence over our choices in life.
Disarray in your dream attic, and any feelings of being overwhelmed by what you find there, could indicate how you are currently responding to the chaos in your thought process. In such a dream, your psyche may be giving you a message to start cleaning up the junk that’s taking up space in your mind to make room for something new.
[1]To see an attic in your dream represents past memories and experiences. It can also highlight family patterns of behavior and attitudes that have been handed down to you. To see a cluttered attic is a sign urging you to organize your mind and thoughts, but an overly neat and tidy attic may suggest an approach to life that is too formal and timid. Ghosts in the attic represent memories that haunt you, whilst a jumble of unused clothes and equipment reflects unused energy. In some cases, particularly those in which your dream attic is radiant and heavenly, your attic may represent your higher self but in general, such dreams refer to stored material. Whatever your dream attic contains, consider it a clue to making your present circumstances more rewarding.
BACKYARD
In dreams, the backyard represents the parts of your life that are taken for granted, the parts that are so familiar you have forgotten they are there.
If you dream of something pleasant in your backyard, this represents hidden potential waiting to be used without needing much effort; but if something ugly is present, this suggests an intrusive energy in your home life that may be draining you.

In the attic are the thoughts that we don’t dare explore and the attitudes we don’t dare express.
