Some songwriter was at least passing familiar with Shakespeare.

Oh, I like that lyric!
Jeff Wrangler:
I've been forgetting to tell a dream I had a few nights ago.
I wasn't sure if the setting was my dad's current home, or the house where I was raised, but now I suspect it was the latter because my mother was in the dream. I saw her quite clearly, dressed in the housecoat she used to wear to make breakfast every morning.
I, on the other hand, seem to have been wearing a partially undone tuxedo. I was wearing a white pleated-front shirt. The collar was open, and there was a black silk bow tie hanging around my neck. I was wearing black trousers and black patent leather shoes.
As my mother watched, I carefully descended the basement stairs, only to find about three inches of water on the basement floor.
That's where I woke up.
CellarDweller:
Hmmmm....that's an unusual one.

haha, what a compliment, Chuck!! How can I resist!!
Myself, I've had dreams about various houses so often that I looked up what it's supposed to mean. It turns out that you can substitute the word "self" for "house". So, in this dream you are the self of your youth. Your mother appears in your important dreams and, although she doesn't seem to say anything in them, you know she is trying to communicate with you. Depending on your beliefs, you could say this is the actual spirit of your mother or the part of your brain that stores memories of her, or your conscience, or whatever.
She is wearing her regular attire, but you are dressed as for a special occasion. So, I surmise that in this dream, you are in a period of transitioning away from the life of your youth and towards an adult life, one of concerts, parties, special occasions, etc. She is urging you to go down, within, submerge yourself and examine your most innermost thoughts. What do you think you would have done if you hadn't woken up just then?
This dreaming is important to do when one is facing a challenge, as you are. It strengthens the mettle.
