What does it mean to dream about moving?

A plot about changing residence—packing, a new home, saying goodbye to an old space.

Moving in a dream—by superstition, means changes in life. Moving in a dream symbolizes a transition between stages of identity—the psyche shows a movement from one structure of the self to another. A new dwelling often reflects an emerging aspect of personality, not yet fully lived in or familiar.

What it might feel like

Excitement, anxiety before the new, nostalgia for the old
