Answer 1

Is there an aspect of your life that you are wishing to change but haven't? Such as a bad habit, job, etc. Is there a part of your life that needs some improvement?

Answer 2

Well, you need to consider the details more closely.  Obviously, moving has something to do with change, but I think we should disregard that for a second.

Without looking up these things on a website, you can analyze them from a literary angle.  

First of all, paint is permanent, which means if you get a crappy paint job done, you can only go over it with more paint.  That means that the bad paint job is still there underneath the better paint, even if it doesn't look like it's there anymore.  Maybe you feel like you've reached a point with your emotions where nothing can be done to get rid of them except covering them up.  The only problem is that you would still notice their presence.  Also, you know how if you don't put primer on before you paint over paint, it comes out more gravelly?  Maybe you're looking for your primer.  You need something or someone that would add a whole new base to your problems so that you can repaint without feeling like you're hiding something poorly.

Also, was the paint job there when you bought the house and moved in?  If it was, do you think that you were aware of what you were getting when you invested in the house, or was it a total surprise?

The other possibility is that you had the job done by someone else who did it badly.  If you did, maybe you're bothered because you feel like you're not taking control of a situation.  If you were surprised like I said above, it could be that you think you have a handle on something but you don't.

If you were aware of the bad fixings that the new houses have, maybe you are settling for something too low-quality without working towards better arrangements.

What do pipes do?  I'm brainstorming here.  They transport things.  They can be characterized by what they transport.  Sewage pipes carry waste.  There can be gas pipes, too, connected to your fireplace and stove.  Vent-like pipes carry air through the house to condition it.

If you don't know exactly which pipes you're dreaming about, you can discover them.  Just because you don't know which they are doesn't mean they aren't specific; they definitely are.

Gas pipes are precarious and could explode if they're bad.  If it really, really worries you that they're less-than-satisfactory, your subconscious could be warning you that something about to blow up in your face.  The gas that these pipes transport is poisonous and can be right in front of your nose--before going inside it.  Maybe something that should be obvious is messing with your intuition.

Sewage pipes will be right under your nose too, but they do not release a noxious gas.  Here's a strange relation: One time when my sewage pipes were down and being fixed, I refused to go to the bathroom because I wouldn't be able to flush the toilet, and I did not want to go in the yard.  DOGS do not excrete waste outside when they arrive at a house they've never been to before(when their owners aren't along).  It's usually because they are uncomfortable.  The dog can either be physically constipated or just reluctant.  If the pipes are bad, maybe emphasis is laid on the fact that you can't get rid of the trash you're consuming; the new place you've entered is not in your comfort zone.

Broken air conditioning vents/pipes = no air = suffocating.  It could have to do with the temperature too.  Are you a cold person or a hot person?  Which season is it?

Broken windows are a gothic motif.  Wherever you've moved to, you can sense things there that make you uneasy, which may also fit in with the sewage thing.  You might feel like the broken windows are because of you, or they could have already been there.  Either way, you're moving into an unsafe place, which makes you insecure.

okay, sorry; I left for a while.  I don't really know what I was saying.  So, you're moving by yourself?  OH

I missed the part about you moving back into a house you've already lived in.  That probably means a lot.  So whenever you move into a new house, things go wrong, and when you move back into a house you've already lived in, I assume everything's like it used to be, which would probably mean comfortable.  When you're in a new place, it's INSECURE with broken windows and has BAD PIPES (which translates back to the dog thing probably) so that you probably wouldn't be able to use the bathroom.  The bad paint job creates an air of permanence, and I think that's the key.  Right now, think about what's happening.  You are feeling like you will need to make a change soon but you know that you are not ready.  You know that if you move too quickly, everything will go wrong--or you will settle for something that doesn't meet your standards--or nothing will turn out like you wanted it to.  You want to evade change completely: even erase it by going back a step (to an old house).

So you either need to read the signs and take it back a step OR embrace the change but add a primer first to ensure that it goes smoothly.
