homes are often representative of the self. you have in your dream: your childhood home (your childhood self), your rabbi's home (your religious self), and a house much like the one you lived in before, in Kensington (so, your Kensington self, whenever that was).
the way you feel about the homes in your dream often is symbolic of how you feel about those aspects of yourself. To dream that you are selling something, signifies changes and your feelings toward these changes. You may be experiencing difficulties in letting go or parting with something about the past.
To see your childhood home in particular reflects aspects of yourself that were prominent or developed during the time you lived in that home. to see the yard all torn up denotes that there are aspects of your life (in the past or related to the that time in the past) that are out of your control.
the rabbi's house, which is symbolic of your religious self, you shared with a young woman. she probably represents nurturance, passivity, caring nature, and love. alternatively, it may indicate temptation and guilt. it really depends on how you see her. it sounds like you got along fine, but you were very formal with each other and that might indicate that you were not very comfortable with the religion, or that you are/were just very careful/concerned with religion, esp proper ceremonies. you also sold this house, so that indicates a change in your previous views about religion and your current views.
a graveyard in your backyard at the Kensington-type house represents discarded aspects of yourself from this time in your life. the ghosts being outlaws (pirates and bikers lmao) suggests that these discarded aspects are repressed. you are calling out to them in the dream, so you are dealing with them now on some level. btw a garden trowel signifies the spreading of kindness and affection, so it was very noteworthy that a heavy dose of that took care of the ghost. iron can symbolize harshness and ruthlessness---or on a positive note, it may signify strength and willpower. so you will have to be well-resolved, firm, and kind to deal with these emotions or issues/etc but you will succeed.
re the demon's advice about the iron latch... To see a latch in your dream, signifies that you will receive an unwelcome appeal for aid. and if a spirit gives you advice in a dream, it may relate to a problem in your waking life (and you should always take it, Death Note or no). so, if in the near future, you receive an unwelcome appeal for aid (or somebody tries to foist off their obligations onto you or otherwise take advantage of your good nature), you must be firm and resolute about saying no, even to the point of appearing harsh. they will appeal to you from more than one angle; the outside of the front door being the usual route, and the inside of the front door being a circumspect route (perhaps they ask your husband or your colleague or someone to advocate on their behalf).
I'm guessing that this unwelcome appeal for aid comes from some connection to the Kensington house... somebody in your life then or somehow connected to something you did then???
the fact that you are NOT selling your Kensington home is important; you need to resolve these issues before you can move on maybe? but also important is that you delight in the house itself; you are accepting of who you were then, your Kensington self so to speak. it is not your past self but some aspects or emotional issues from that time that are behind this dream. also, the homes themselves were all intact; it was just the yard in your childhood home and the Kensington home that had problems. again, not you, but something about that time.
now, let's wait and see how very wrong I am lol
I used to keep a dream journal; I have a goal to start it up again... I think maybe now I will ;)
ah, Death Note
I'd prefer a written form if I could get my hands on it.
that is one cool dream you had.
