I think a lot of dreams are about a dialogue between different levels of oneself. So maybe your wiser, deeper level was lecturing your not-so-wise level. I'm serious.

Lord knows, I get upset with my own weaknesses and stupidities sometimes...

As for the house and being hunted...oh, yeah, I used to have that dream a LOT! It was almost always a bear that was after me, and I am quite scared of bears. Sometimes it's wasps or hornets. I think these are simply symbols of deeper fears pursuing one through the house of one's soul, so to speak. And there is really no place to hide from them, but I always tend to go up to the higher part of the house. This means (I think) that I am trying to get to the higher spiriritual sources for help (or mental sources, if you don't believe spiritual).

But here's the key. The only way to overcome those fears is to face them, instead of running away. In that respect, it's pretty much like real life, eh? The only thing is, I almost never remember that while I'm having the dream, but I've managed it on a couple of occasions.
