If I remember correctly from my Jung reading, water in dreams often represent the feminine, the intuitive and the emotional. Houses often reflect the psyche.
I'd say that my dreams are pulling from my fretting about the logistics of moving, as well as contemplation of my new, permanent home. I've been living in a state of suspended animation for 10 months, first at my parents', then in this apartment with my parents. Most of my material possessions are either with my former wife (now they are my former possessions) or in a storage locker. I'm tired of this temporary existence, and want some of my life back, in the form of familiar furniture, artwork and nick-nacks.
I've moved a lot in the last decade. Living in rental homes is a tenuous business, subject to the personal and economic decisions of others. I've become emotionally invested in the homes I've lived in. I've made a lot of improvements to the properties I temporarily inhabited. Then, like an unfixed sand painting, it's gone. I must begin again.
