I usually don't have prophetic or message type dreams. This one was kind of interesting though:

For they past decade or so I've had a dream a couple of times a month that goes something like this:

I am awakened and I can't remember whether I've locked the door to my apartment or not, so I get up and check. When I get to the door, I see the the pins or nails that holding the door hinges on have fallen out and that there are people (no one recognizable) pushing there way in. So I am frantically trying to put the heavy door back in place and find and replace the pins while people are pressing to get in. They are not malevolent but just want to be inside when I don't want them to be. It usually ends there or I force myself awake. I tend to assume it has something to do with be both empathic and introverted.

The other night, however, a couple of women (still unrecognizable) came forward and helped me fix the door and sat down with me and told me that we could help each other.

Interesting thing is that a local women's circle recently opened temporarily for new members and I've been attending the some of their social activities. Since I'm a solitary by choice, I was at first interested only in meeting local people with similar interests. However since I like the women I've met, I've been thinking that maybe it's time to see what I can do within a group.

I don't think I need an in-depth intepretation to figure out what my dream is telling me.

It sounds from your dream you find being alone akin to being helpless, and are now enjoying new found friends to help you on your journey :)

That's interesting. I've always been happy as solitary so I've always intepreted my dream as people breaking through my empathic barriers and now having the opportunity to work with some people who can help me shore things up.

Well, dreams of the house are dreams of the self. I have to go with the opposite and say that you may be feeling invaded recently, IvyCeltress. The fact that your door hinges were coming off suggests to me that you may be feeling a little vulnerable as of late, possibly because you are uncomfortable in public situations. But the fact that the women come to help you with your door is very much a symbol of your want of trust. It seems as though you are a tad uncomfortable, but not entirely unwelcoming to the idea of new people into your life.

Perhaps you are considering the thought of no longer being solitary even. :)

That's a great dream, how it turned out at least. My initial idea was also that you had some boundary problems with other people invading your personal space. It sounded very familiar to me.
Good for you to have found help, clearly not the same kind of people because they help you instead of wanting something from you.
