Dream of house hunting with long-deceased spouse
First of all, I am so sorry for your loss. That is a difficult experience, I am sure. While I cannot say for certain which interpretation you've offered up is accurate for you (the dreamer is the one who knows best about their dreams), I can offer you a couple of ways to figure out for yourself what you think it means. For example, you can ask, "What in my waking life recently has stirred up feelings of a change in scenery and an idea to invest in a new way of living?" and then follow that up with, "What would my spouse have to say or offer about that new change?"

Dreams are stories our minds make up, which help put unexpressed feelings into context for us. They serve to help us examine feelings that have been building up beneath the surface. With this dream, you could think about what emotions you've been feeling lately regarding your spouse and your living situation. Then look to the details of the dream to help you understand those feelings better. For example, were you house hunting in general, or were you looking into a specific house? If generally hunting, it could be that you're starting to consider something new but aren't sure about the details yet. If you were in a specific house in the dream, then it could be that you're closer to deciding on some area of your life. There are many details in a dream, and looking into the metaphor that each main detail represents can help you get to the bottom of the dream's meaning.

Lastly, I can offer that it is not uncommon to dream of a deceased spouse. There is evidence to suggest that dreaming of our loved ones who've passed on brings us great comfort and a sense of companionship when we need it most. I am glad to hear this dream was pleasant.

Why am I dreaming about my crush for these many days ??
Sometimes the people we know become habitual characters in our dreams. It helps to think of your crush as a certain personality or type of person that your dreaming mind is using to convey some character, rather than it being about her literally. To figure out what she represents to you, try to list 3-5 words that best describe her. When you think of her, what do you think about? Is she friendly, calm, and funny? Or maybe caddy, cruel, and confident? Your dreams are using her to show you ways that you might be dealing with someone like her in waking life. She is a stand-in for the type of person that matches your list of descriptions.

Another way to find meaning in dreams about your old crush is to ask the question - who was I during that time in my life, and what might that old me have to offer to my current life scenarios? Your dreams may be indicating that some life lesson you learned when you were into her is coming back into play in your life, and it's time to apply those life lessons, now.
How can you do a spiritual cleanse?
A spiritual cleanse needs to have an intention behind it, a reason that you are choosing to do it. It needs to have a ritual or ceremony, and the purpose of that is to distinguish it from your regular life. Some people will say a prayer every time they're at a stoplight. That's not going to be effective. Instead, you want to disrupt your typical rhythm when you're doing a cleanse. Set aside a specific time and place and make it ceremonial.

Next, you need some way to concretize it. When you are doing a spiritual cleanse, you are trying to connect what's invisible and internal for you with the external world. You want to stake your claim and take some ownership and a sense of authority over that. Say, "I am cleansing this space with this intention on this date and time." This will ensure your conscious mind recognizes the event as much as your imagination recognizes the event.
How do you interpret dreams?
For me, there are four steps that I use. The first step is to isolate the emotions in the dream. Make sure to pay attention to the emotions that you felt in the dream. Then disregard what you think you should have felt when you woke up. A lot of times people will have a dream that was actually engaging, but when they wake up, they're like, no, that should have been terrifying. I don't know why I wasn't scared. Step one is to write down the emotions that you experienced in the dream in the order that you experienced them.

Next, take that list (I like to call it the fingerprint of emotions of the dream) and see where in your waking life that same fingerprint of feelings has occurred. Oftentimes, you'll find a connection to something from last week.

The second step is to give the dream a title or to write down the theme of the dream. Think about if this dream were a book, then consider what's on the front cover of the book. That helps you figure out the details that are prominent and the details that might be smaller in importance.

The third step is to write down the main symbols. This is where you can do metaphor work, or you can go to a dream dictionary. It's important to remember when you list the main symbols, you also need to understand them in context. You can't just let a dream dictionary tell you exactly what it means, right? Symbols are so personal in the context of your life.

The final step is to see what other details are in the dream that want your attention. What still has your curiosity? Often, there'll be one really odd thing that hasn't come out in the first three steps. Sometimes, the detail that you pull out in that fourth step is the thing that your dreaming mind is suggesting you do about the issue.
What does it mean when you dream of dead bodies?
Anytime death is present in a dream, it represents a cycle of rebirth. You have to ask, what part of my waking life right now is coming to an end, and what might that give birth to going forward?

So if in a dream, I'm hanging around dead bodies, then for me, it's representative of being stuck. Stuck where I haven't yet let go of the thing that is already ended in my waking life, so that the new thing can be born next. It's a limbo. To respond to that dream, I would try to put closure to something that has ended or make a gesture of closure.

Something else to think about is that dead bodies are a natural phenomenon. A dream with dead bodies in it might not necessarily mean the same thing as if you dreamt of something supernatural happening, or something illogical happening. Dead bodies are a very natural part of our reality and of our lives. This means that the limbo you're in is normal and natural.
