Odd dream. Thoughts?

A little background: my grandparents used to own a small apartment house that had 2 floors & 4 small apartments. They are gone like 30 years now.

Anyway, I was young & single and my family went broke or something and I needed to get an apartment. 2 friends (well, actually 1 cousin & 1 tv show character) were also looking for an apt. and we decided to get one together.

I didn't know if my grandparents would be selling the house but I get a call from my mom that they're looking to rent the apartments (all empty except the one they live in).

So I tell my friends and ask my grandmother about renting the 3rd floor apartment, and she says yes and offers it to me for free. I want to pay her but she says we can use the money to help fix up the house (which is really getting ratty looking).

So me and my 2 dream friends go up to the 3rd floor (which did not exist in this house in reality) and the apartment is like a shopping mall that's been closed down or something. We're excited about how big it is and unique and how we can decorate it, and we start exploring it.

Oddly, people are living on the other side of it, it empties out into a different entrance. I argue my grandparents own it, they don't want to leave, I tell them to stay in their part and we'll stay in ours (and my friends and I agree to just close off the section) then we go back to getting excited and talking about how cool it will be to live here and who's room will be where and such until I wake up.

Update:

So far some interesting interpretations. Thanks everyone for taking the time.

I should add, I have already reached adulthood, and middle age; I have a home & live with my husband and kids. In the dream I was young (about early 20s or so) but in real life I have children that age. So I don't foresee myself moving in with friends, I don't think this is prophetic.

Although it would be cool to move into an old abandoned shopping mall... talk about spacious.

    I think it means that you were visited by a grandparent and the apartment was the way you got to visit them as ghosts. The dream friends are aspects of your true self and the other people on the other side were also ghosts but you did not invite them in. Your grandparents wanted to give you something safe in your dream to visit so they gave you the third option between the worlds. They miss you and want you to feel safe and happy in life.

    Your mind remembered that you had grandparents and this is why your grandmother was in the dream. It could be that someday, you and a group of friends will be moving in together some day. It may not happen anytime soon, but someday. You may live at a place that an elderly woman owns.

    I think dreams are a way the subconscious relates info to the conscious-it sounds like it's telling you that you'll always have some security when moving to a new place.

    Nice dream :-)

    Your hatred for Muslims does not stop me from being a Muslim it actually opens my eyes up. It shows me how evil Christians in America are.
