bjb,
After analyzing the second dream and putting the two together I am still sensing someone in your past, a male, who provided what you saw as providing comfort, nurturing and security. The dream images/actions point to either repression or having forgotten about these memories/experiences. You are now disconnected from this person now and probably have been for a long while, even from early childhood. Could it be your father? Is he still a part of your life and if not when did that relationships end?

Here is what i get when interpreting the images/actions from the second dream.

-in my house-within your unconscious/your true self/emotions
-rearrange furniture-secret door would open up-making changes reveals inner aspects that need to be acknowledged
-family in kitchen eating-receiving emotional nourishment/security/harmony
-talking to brother-communication with close masculine aspects
-something grabbed me/threw across room-emotional energies that need closer attention
-brother freaking out-distorted masculine aspects
-felt like a ghost-aspects that are disconnected/repressed

Note: I do request a response to my analysis. My services are free and a response is the least that can be given. A contribution of any amount to my Kitty Fund would be appreciated but not required.
