Tamsyn – That is a wonderful dream. The grandparents are the sign of its meaning. That they have access to all the rooms is important. They are important because grandparents are the doorway to all your past.
I believe that what you are meeting is memories or your ancestors – both family ancestry and past lives. There is so much you have collected from your past that are gifts, talents, problems and real insights into how you have come to be the person you are.
It is quite unusual for someone to have such dreams. If you look as most of the dreams people post, they are about being frighten of things, of love that is lost or wanted, or general worry dreams. So to see so clearly your own history is excellent.
I believe that the reason you have not yet stopped to really look at all the rooms and stuff they hold is because it is quite difficult to bear the awareness of it all. Sometimes it is wonderful, but sometimes you retrieve painful episodes that need you – your present personality – to feel and heal. So it seems you will slowly gain strength and then have insights into things so remarkable it will change you.
If you can practice imagining yourself back into one of the rooms and be still and watch what you feel, it will be good to develop your strength and insight. Don’t expect wonderful things to come fast and furious, because such ‘openings’ are rare and precious.
There are places I have walked that will place me by your side.
