Furniture
To dream of furniture represents thoughts about how you identify and think about yourself as a person while having a sense of structure, stability, and comfort. Feelings about being comfortable with the way your life is working. It may also reflect how comfortably you perceive yourself as a person in a particular situation. Your thoughts about the qualities, behaviors, or habits that define who you are.
To dream of broken furniture may represent feelings of discomfort, disruption, or a sense of instability in your life that prevent you from feeling comfortable as a normal person. Feeling that your ability to have a normal life is "broken." Feeling that you can't relax or take a break from something like you normally can. Broken furniture is a common dream symbol for people recovering from injuries.
Negatively, dreaming about broken furniture may be a sign that you feel uncomfortable being unable to identify yourself in a certain way that allows you to feel normal. Losing a sense of structure, stability, and comfort with an area of your life that felt normal. Being uncomfortable identifying yourself as being friends with someone ever again.
Consider the style of furniture for additional meaning. Antique furniture may reflect old-fashioned values or "old school" ideas.
Example: A man dreamed of an old-fashioned wooden washing machine being used as furniture. In waking life, he was unusually persistent in completely paying off his mortgage because he wanted to feel secure owning his home as quickly as possible. Other people thought it was stupid because it ignored the ability to use his money to enjoy himself in the present moment. In this case, the old washing machine being used as furniture may have reflected his feelings about liking himself as having structure, stability, and comfort with an old-fashioned belief system of being a person who lives without debt.
Example 2: A young woman dreamed of being in a furniture store with her grandmother where she punched her father when he tried to grab her. She ran out of the store. In waking life, she was trying to find out what religion she really believed in. In this case, shopping for furniture may have reflected her attempt to "shop options" for a new style of religion that would provide her with a sense of stability, identity, and comfort, similar to how furniture does in a home.
Example 3: A woman dreamed of standing on furniture to avoid drowning in water. In waking life, she was experiencing frustration with her marriage due to psychological abuse. In this case, the furniture she stands on in order to avoid drowning may have reflected her feelings about liking herself with an identity of being comfortable in a stable marriage while trying to avoid the growing uncertainty of potentially being pushed into a divorce by her husband's psychological abuse.
