    Well, it means you don’t feel safe. Do you have a dog, and a gun? nothing makes me sleep more soundly than having a .45 under my pillow.

    To dream that your house is broken into, suggests that you are feeling violated. It may refer to a particular relationship or current situation in your life. Alternatively, it indicates that some unconscious material is attempting to make itself known. There are some aspects of yourself that you have denied. To dream that a house has disappeared, indicates that you are not feeling grounded. You feel uprooted by a particular circumstance or relationship in your life.

    your dream reflects your deep psychological fears. it might be a better idea to seek some counselling instead of buying a gun.

    If your dream is reoccurring then it seems likely that, in real-life your conscious state) you are internalizing stimuli (people, places, things, sensations, fragrances, and the like) that is confusing and/or upsetting to you. At a minimum, you are regularly faced with situations you find uncomfortable.

    These situations (in whole or in part) get "pushed down" into your unconscious (possibly because you do not want to confront them in real-life or possibly because you don’t fully "realize" them in real-life). Your unconscious then takes these stored bits and pieces of the thousands of stimuli encountered every day and, via your dreams, attempts to get your attention (alert you) about something that seems to be troubling you.

    For example, although your dream has you "home alone in your house" your dream may not actually mean "your house" in the true physical sense of your house. Your dream can simply be using your house as a metaphor for "you." That is, your house represents you … who you are, what you believe and stand for ….

    As such, when alone (anywhere in your waking hours) you may feel particularly vulnerable to people (not necessarily total strangers) "breaking into" who you are … wanting to know more about you than you are comfortable sharing … wanting to know what makes you tick … wanting to know if you are the same person outside your home as you are behind closed doors.

    In short, your dream may be alerting you to the idea of your level of discomfort in a relationship, at the workplace, the restaurant and bar you may visit, public transportation, etc. It can be as random as feeling a sense of danger because you are out in public and "exposed" to any possibility or it can be as deeply personal as the person in your relationship(s) wanting to "get beneath the surface" to know you better.

    Whatever it truly is, I believe, the clues are found in your comings and goings over the recent past. As such, a reflection on the recent past may provide you the circumstances (people, places, and things) that allow you a pathway to a better understanding of your dreams.

    Because you are "able to make it to my car and drive away very fast and get away" in your dreams, your unconscious is telling you that so far, in your waking hours, you are "swift in mind and body" in responding to any perceived danger and, at least for now, you can avoid any potential dangers from someone breaking in (to you, not your physical house). Based on that, I’d guess you are adept and skilled at deferring people’s curiosity about you or their attempts to persuade you to do things that you’d prefer not doing. As skilled as you seem to be at this, your unconscious is telling you that you’re not comfortable with it.

    The trouble with the 911 call is, in my view, your dream-state alerting you to the idea that there "isn’t anyone out there" in your waking hours that will come to your rescue. Your conscious mind is telling you that you don’t trust that, when push comes to shove, there would be anyone (let alone anyone in authority) who would come to help you. As such, you strengthen your resolve to be ever more determined to take care of yourself.

    I really believe that, with some time spent on considering the circumstances of your life, you’ll soon be able to identify the links from real-lfe that end up engages your dream-life.

    Good luck!
