Summary/Abstract: The paper aims to present the house like a place where the man develops himself, where the child expands his imagination. The imagination transforms and changes into reverie when the child grows. The house symbolizes the divideness of the man by the combination of fullness and emptyness, and by its vertically: the man strives for development, he tries to avoid his destructive beginning. The house symbolizes the growth of the man. There the child begins to play games for the first time. The house becomes the material place of the unreal fantasies of the child. Later the adult plays through his imagination creating unreality. The house is an object of the imagination, keeping the memories of the childhood and at the same time stimulating new emotionality.
