My wife and I have lived in our house for nine years now. As far as we are concerned, it is finished and complete. Other than the basic upkeep, we have no plans for remodeling or adding on.
The other night I had a dream about what I thought was our house, but it turned out being something different.
In my dream I was walking through the house and came to one of the rooms. I looked in and noticed there was a remodeling job in progress. There were tools sitting around and it was obvious the room was going through a change.
I moved on to another side of the house and saw what looked like a big piece of plywood with a round hole where a door knob would go. I decided to pull on it and see if it would move. To my surprise, the plywood pulled back revealing a complete other room I had no idea was there. It was under construction, having bare wood floors and walls, cut-outs and several tools and a ladder sitting around.
When I woke up, I was thinking about this dream and it hit me that the house was not our house, but it was me. I was seeing that God is not finished with me, but constantly working in my life.
We are His Dwelling
All of us as followers of Christ are his dwelling place. God lives within us and even though we sometimes think we are mature and complete in Christ, God is busy working and changing us into His glory. Most of the time we do not even realize God is doing something in our lives.
You may have followed Christ for a long time and think you know all the answers. You may have been following Him for many, many years and think there is no more God can do with you. The truth is, God is continually working on His house (which is us), modifying, changing, remodeling and changing things throughout our life.
God’s dwelling place will not be finished or complete during our lifetime. He is constantly remodeling and changing us, conforming us into His image. Through His presence within us, we will display His love to a world that is in need of Him.
Do not give up and think God is finished with you. Do not think there is no more to know, or that God can no longer use you. Keep listening for the quiet leading of the Holy Spirit within you and know that God is busy in your life, changing you little by little to be more like Him.
Done with Religion 
One of many ways. I know He has spoken several times like that to me.

It is so wonderful when God speaks to us in our dreams!

Thanks, Mike, for this great reminder. Yes, I think you interpreted that dream you had correctly. God keeps working on us. In about 1980 I also had a dream that was quite telling about what He was about to do in my life. It also foretold of a remodel He was going to do on me, but not what you might think. In my dream He started by raising to the ground and hauling away what was left of my house! I and Bible teachers had been carefully adding on to my house that I love so much until it was totally useless to God so He had to take drastic measures. The following 14 years was what some call the dark night of the soul. Thank God that after it was over God started to build Him a new house.
Our Father has only one goal when it come to His children and that is many sons and daughters unto HIS glory and Jesus Christ is the Pattern Son that He goes by. He will not give up until He sees the perfection of Christ and His love in us. My constant prayer is, “Not my will, Lord, but thine be done! Do not quit working on me until you see Your Son manifest fully in me.”
God bless you, my brother!

I assume that the completely new room you surprisingly detected in your dream could be a whole new area of your (spiritual) life with God that He wants to make known to you in the days ahead. I believe it is a VERY good thing He wants to reveal to you. :-)
Just my two cents, Mike. ;-)

Good to know that others have come to similar conclusions as myself. :-)
