Yes, dreams mean something to the dreamer, some are more significant than others. You say you've been having this dream for years, are you going through an overwhelming episode each time this dream comes up? Examine what specifically is going on inside yourself at the time this dream arises in your life.
It may be that you feel like all is going along pretty well although there is lots to keep going you can handle it but fear comes into it and you're afraid you're about to lose control of it all because it's all too much or you're afraid it will become too much.
Dreams are always about the dream. It is the subconscious mind trying to communicate as it cannot do so under ordinary every day waking life. The mind only knows symbols (so to speak) and uses these to communicate and although there are many universal symbols, they are also broken down into a personal meaning as well. For example, basically speaking a house represents the mind of the dreamer, but what a house would be to you or me would be completely different looking to a person living in the jungles of the amazon. Also take note of the condition of the house, is it in need of repair, is it neat and tidy, what color and so on.
Basically speaking (to analyze a dream properly the interpreter would have to question the dreamer) here are some meanings to some of the things in your dream. You'd have to review them within yourself and question yourself and even take them to sleep with you if you want to gain understanding of this long standing dream. Best to write out your thoughts on this. (remember this is basic, but enough to get you going)
Wind - a clearing of the mind, movement of thoughts/changeable thinking, thoughts that are in need of being cleansedfrom the mind, as in troubling thoughts or negative thoughts. Constantly changing your mind. Thoughts that you're unaware you think. Did You hear the wind? If so it could mean your being is being flooded with Divine Spirit and well-being. Since the wind was present before a tidal wave it could mean it is a mass cleansing of emotions, desires, lower thoughts and or guilty feelings.
Ocean- You saw the ocean, correct? Generally speaking, water is a symbol of spiritual things. Water magnifies everything, so if a storm is brewing it is all the more significant as a large body such as the ocean. Sometimes seeing the ocean in a dream is telling you to ponder and understand the origins of life.
Food- Generally, food represents knowledge, the quality of the food is equal to the knowledge being presented to the dreamer. Sometimes it means a spiritual lesson is being offered.
House- this was a beach house, and so temporary, vacation home, but could also indicate a desire for this type of home as a permenant place. A house represents the state of your mental conditions, the way you think and attitude about life on different levels of understanding. It can also the physcial body and emotional body. If the house is seen as a pleasant domestic atmosphere it indicates approval of one's own efforts to make life helpful and pleasant for others. If your family was in it, it could indicate that you're gauging your relationships.
I hope you can use some of this information. These are just a few examples of symbology. I studied interpretation for years and was quite good at it, not much any more, except now and then when it comes up for someone. It may just be that you have had this dream as a kind of warning to gather yourself and center yourself and take stock of what you're doing and how you're doing it.
I hope this helps.
[When I was a young teen I had a reocurring dream of my grandmother walking with the use of a walker and wearing a pink top and pants. I had it almost constantly for years and it troubled me. I didn't tell anyone about it. Many years later she was gifted the very clothes I dreamed of and a year later she was walking with the very same walker as in my dream. Until those pants were given to her she never and I mean never wore pants, she was brought up to only wear dresses.]
