psychologist who I saw for some grief issues a while back told me that dreams about a house are always related to our self-image, our self-concept. The rooms are points of composition in that self-concept.

So for example, if you dream about living in a delapidated, crumbling older house, it might well mean you've serious problems with your self-esteem or concerns about aging and mortality.

If you dream about living in a house that is new and entirely different than the one in your reality, -it might symbolise a change in attitude, a life change, or even a false sense of reality.

Our subconsious mind puns. It's not important what the readers of DU think your dream means, it's important what you think 'paint', the colour blue, the kitchen and your wife's anger represent to you in the context of your self-image.

I could venture a wild-ass guess that it might mean you have some doubts that a new idea/program/set of beliefs which have ensconced themselves in your life will meet with your wife's approval. But I don't know you well enough to attach any level of confidence to that suggestion.

Whatever you sort out from the dream, please remember, dreams have 3 potential roles to play in our lives:

They can be communications from our subconscious about things we do not realise on a conscious, waking level;

They can be a manifestation of deep subconscious fear;

Or they can be your subconscious mind's method of fulfilling a wish.
