Rent – Dreaming about paying rent is a symbol of insecurity and instability in your life. Renting is a constant drain on resources, and is not a permanent residence. Therefore even if you dream about renting a very nice house, it still indicates that your life is not stable, or does not feel stable to you. You may need to evaluate your priorities to ensure that your most fundamental needs are met and made stable before you begin spending resources (including time, money, and energy) on other things. If you actually own your house but dream of paying rent, this indicates another source of instability in your life, which you may not even be aware is unstable.
