you stated these rooms are not what the dreams are about that it was just a theme. ( if i read it right) so what are the dreams about then?
I cannot remember what dreams that happen to contain the extra-rooms things are about, and I have dreams about all sorts of things.
I did keep a dream diary for a while because I find dreams interesting. I was skimming through and didn't find many mentions of the extra rooms thing, though in one of the few mentions, there were other people in the rooms (but they were not the rooms of my house, which is more common when I have that in dreams).
I feel really sorry for you if you can give a quick "what I dream about" rundown. Below I'll copy and paste some of the shorter ones (some are typed out pages long), so you can find places to insert demons, and other people can be either amused or bored. It's possible that some of these had the extra-rooms thing, but I didn't mention it if it wasn't relevant to the plot of the dream. (Also, though I'm sure you'll do it anyway, nautical, asking me additional questions about these dreams will be pointless. I have lost primary memories of all of them and don't remember anything that isn't written down.)

This will make more sense to people who have seen any production of Rogers and Hammerstein's "Cinderella".
In said musical rendition of Cinderella, there is a big song-and-dance number wherein all the villagers sing about how "The Prince is Giving a Ball". This was the setting of my dream, only the song was "The Prince is Getting a Job."
The Prince is getting a job.
The Prince is getting a job!
He's getting off his lazy ass;
The Prince is getting a job!
Yeah, that was about it...

I was with my brother, and we needed to get to a portal that was far up a very very tall wall. We realized we could do this because I could stand on his shoulders, then could hover in space, and he could climb up me and stand on my shoulders, and we repeated this until we got up to the portal, through which we could barely squeeze, and then had to monkey-bar through a bunch of pipes to get to wherever we were going. Also some of the pipes were full of hot water for a heating system, so we had to be careful to not grab those pipes.

While I have no recollection of the context if there was one, I had some dream which had a voiceover saying "Where the men are men, the women are bisexual, and everyone is covered in glitter!" along with a visual of implausibly-muscled and scantily-clad people covered in glitter.
=====
I had a dream where there was a club called the Sophomore Club of people who were purposefully sophomoric. <my sister> and <a friend of mine> were offended because they are sophomores in college, and thus made their own Sophomores Against the Sophomoric Club and went to war with the Sophomore Club. This involved making lots of propaganda posters.

There was a knitting tutorial, which had a closeup of knitting, and the person doing it declared, "And on every 40th stitch, everyone has an orgasm." [Now we know why knitting is so hip nowadays, amiright?]
=====
I dreamed that I lived in the woods in a giant tree, and performed marriage ceremonies for people that came to my tree-house. And I did so for a number of my friends in the dream, including some unlikely pairings.
=====
I dreamed that my house was filled with a sort of pseudo liquid which was actually made up of solid beads. You could swim in it, but could also just lie in it, and it was very comfortable for sleeping.

Last night I had a dream that I was in possession of two mystical objects that looked somewhat like extremely decorated easter eggs. They were activated by two other matching embellished objects that looked like large pearls. When activated such, they would start to glow. It took a while of glowing for them to gather their power. With control of both, one could take over the universe. Some Bad Guys were after them, and myself and a friend (who wasn't anyone I know in waking life) had them. Various shenanigans ensued, which I remember, but they weren't horribly interesting. It ended with the friend and I hiding out in a house in a gated covenant community, but everyone else who lived there were old ladies, so we were afraid it would be easy to find us. Also the bad guys had a spy satellite. But then I woke up.

I dreamed that I was running a strip club, but all my strippers quit, so I had to enlist my friends to replace them. So I ended up with <several friends of mine that live in Houston> being my strippers. (I guess it was in Houston...) So all of were scurrying through everyone's closets to find clothes they could wear and finding stuff lying around the club. So we were running the place again and I noticed this guy was there with 5 small children and I was all, "They can't be in here!" and he was all "These are my kids, and I can have them here if I want!"
Then I switched bodies with someone, though I can't remember why, and I then realized this person was really emaciated. And I borrowed some pink stretch pants from someone, but I was so skinny in my new body that the stretch pants were sagging all over the place. So I was looking for the normal clothes that the other person wore but couldn't find them. So I was off serving drinks and things and was all embarrassed that I was wearing baggy pink stretch pants.
=====
So last night I dreampt about <friend> [unsurprising since he just found me on MySpace yesterday and I was all excited] and that I was going to visit him when I went to alumni weekend. So I was out there and drove up to his house and saw his parents, but he wasn't there. Then they itroduced me to their other children [in reality <friend> is an only child], and in the dream I thought he had 2 siblings but he actually had 3, and I was all surprised. Then he came home and I was all excited and he said that he had to go to the mall to buy some snakeskin pants, and I was like "OK, sure", and we went over to the Mt. Berry mall and looked for snakeskin pants but couldn't find any.
=====
I dreampt that I was driving to work, and I got pulled over. I didn't know what it was for, as I had not been speeding or anything. So I pull over, and the police officer walks up to my window and I ask what's wrong. She says, "Your hood is too high." And I'm all, "Uhm, what?" And she repeats herself. "Your hood is too high. It violates the new regulations." Then she pulls out these graphs that have a car drawn on it with various lines and notes on angles and how high off the ground various parts of the car are. And I'm all, "Wouldn't this only apply to new cars? That can't be changed. And when did this become a law, anyway?" And she's all, "I'm sorry; I can't let you drive any further while you are breaking these regulations." And suddenly all these mechanics appear and start looking at my car, and the police officer says, "These guys can fix it for you; then you can drive again."

And now, saving those from which Nautical will most easily draw additional conclusions that I am full of demons for last:
=====
I had something that was slightly incoherent about all the blue in my room [For those who haven't seen it, my room is full of blue. It is delightfully, peacockly, cobaltly blue. The decoration theme is "midnight peacock orgy", as coined by my lovely roommate. When I have the cover on my light and it's not daytime, it's rather like being underwater. I love it.] oozing over me, making me a slave to the color blue and also giving me blue superpowers. I do not know what these blue superpowers were, but I'm sure they were awesome. I'm also not sure how it was that I was compelled to serve my blue overlords, but I probably welcomed it.

In one dream, some sort of fallen angel creatures had come to the earth. And were, presumably, doing bad things, so we ("we" being some shadowy organization that protected the world from the things that lurk in the dark; you know the drill) were attempting to identify and kill them. They were of course posing as humans. We had determined that they could be identified by differences in their rib cages, caused by folding their wings in from their back into their thoracic region in order to appear human. However, this wasn't a terribly good way to identify them, since one couldn't see or feel up on a suspected demon's ribcage casually. I was thus trying to find some easier-to-see identifier. I had the severed hands of ones that we had killed and thought that there was some difference in the average ratios of the lengths of various parts of their fingers. I determined that this was in fact the case, and was then coming up with a way to train our people to be able to recognize this difference easily.
=====
I dreamed that I was hanging by my hair (of which there was a lot more in the dream) from Yggdrasil. While doing this, I could speak all languages and communicate with all animals. I was thus trying to pick up wisdom from the animals that were sometimes around, but was having a hard time concentrating on remembering what they were telling me because of the pain of hanging by my hair.
=====
Last night I dreamed that I was standing on a barren coast with very still water, looking out to a small island that I needed to get to, on which grew a magic tree. I could magically freeze the water in order to walk to the island. However, it froze into jagged glass. I started to walk out over it, but then realized that I was not allowed to do this if I was wearing shoes. I took off my shoes and set off accross the jagged glass sea. It was not cutting my feet at all, and then I knew that this was because the thorns of the island tree were the only things that could cut me, and thus I had to go there to face my fear (of non-invincibility, I would suppose). However, I got distracted from facing my fear of the tree, as <a friend of mine> was unexpectedly on the island contemplating the tree. I declared that this was where we had first met (at which point I had detailed dream knowledge of this as some event in the far distant past, which involved me in a previous life or era having come to the island to make the scarification on my back because it was the only thing that could scar me), but I thought that he was to never return to the place. And we had an involved discussion about that.
