For the house dream I'll take it at the literal level which sometimes works and sometimes is way off.

You are worried about losing something very personal to you that has value. (you said everything of value was gone in your family's home)

Something that you keep around or close to you (because it was specifically in your purse - something that if, you're like most women, have around you whereever you go and that always know where it is.)

You feel that even if you could replace it with something else that other people thought was valuable, it was not really a replacement at all. (it was in the same bag - replacing the other item of value.)

Whatever you're worrying about is something you feel that you should have already known about - but didn't. (why did no one see people taking your stuff)
