To dream of poor folks or beggars entering into a house, and carrying away anything, whether it be given them or they steal it, denotes great adversity.

Just as in real life, ceilings symbolize protection in dreams, not just for possessions and wealth, but for the safety of your family and home. A ceiling in good condition means that you’ll manage affairs under favorable circumstances, and it forecasts tranquility in family matters. A ceiling in poor condition, or that is crumbling, is an omen for a serious decease, a passing in the family, or the loss of a loved one.
