House normally Represents the self or psyche or your perception of self structure (typical stuff) Different rooms = different aspects of yourself. A closet is usually hidden parts of yourself, things you store away, or secrets.
Closet = Hidden memories, suppressed emotions, or aspects of yourself you don’t normally show or perhaps secrets you dont wish to acknowlegde or bring to light. Someone else opening it could mean someone stumble across it or something being revealed to you or about you, pehaps maybe from the outside.
Actor (Dick York) Actors symbolize the roles we play specially if they hold a strong connection to you or an ideal you have are they playing a charactor or themselves? This could show how you present yourself. The fact it’s a real actor you happened to see recently could just be your subconscious borrowing imagery. But symbolically: an actor represents performance, identity, and outward persona.
Missing arms and legs = Feeling powerless, restricted, or unable to act.
Arms = ability to handle things; legs = ability to move forward. Missing them suggests helplessness, immobility, or limitation.
Wrapped in a blanket = Comfort, concealment, or trying to protect something fragile. Could also imply avoiding harsh reality by “covering it up.”
On a shelf = Being stored away, put aside, inactive. Could mean a part of yourself or a role you used to play has been “shelved.”
Full Interpretation I've got so far
The dream suggests you’re confronting a hidden or suppressed part of yourself (closet). The appearance of an actor points to roles, identities, or behaviors you’ve performed in the past. However, this role/part of yourself feels powerless or immobilized (missing arms and legs) and has been put aside or “shelved.” The blanket indicates a need for comfort or concealment or maybe forgiveness as you wrap up this part of yourself you now find better off put up and tucked away.
Seeing Dick York specifically may just be your brain pulling a familiar image from something you recently read, but symbolically, it reinforces the theme of a persona or role being put into storage, no longer active in your present life.
Perhaps he's also someone you connect with for some reason which makes your brain associate with him or his character.
I saw this post earlier and setnit aside to do in my spare time today.
So hopefully my quick slap together makes sense.
