Ok, so I’ve decided that the mosquito is representing the changes in Huddy relationship and the direction it’s heading to. It bugs (no pun intended) House at the moment, which is represented by The Itch. He wants the Huddy relationship to be the same like the one before the kiss. He doesn’t want it to change, so he chases the mosquito (the changes) trying to make it all back to the starting-point. He’s looking for a way to get rid of it (them). But of course it’s not that easy.

The propane represents House’s deepest feelings, his inner emotions. The ones he hides, because letting them out is actually quite dangerous, they need to be bottled up. He thinks that opening up (letting the propane leak) will attract the mosquito and allow him to kill it. He things that opening up a bit might be a way to get the awkwardness away and thus bring the relationship to the starting point.

But while he chases the changes in his relationship with Cuddy, things set aflame – the fire on the oven. There are always sparks flying around Huddy. It can be both the passion in sexual sense, or just their temperamental ways that are represented by the fire. What’s more important is that they are set off unplanned. They are just happening, are out of control. Just like House has put on the fire carelessly, that the passion or argument can erupt spontaneously around them.

Of course in House’s mind opening up with his emotions (the propane) and the passion and sparks between him and Cuddy are an explosive mix, that leads only to one thing – a big BOOM that destroys everything. And thus the explosion represents the supposed disaster that will outcome of this whole mess. Or more like House’s dreaded expectation of the relationship with Cuddy if he tires to pursue one with her. This actually ties with Cuddy’s speech to Wilson about why her relationship with house wouldn’t work. Both of House and Cuddy fear the same thing: the change and possibly the loss of their relationship as it is now. To them it’s a very comfortable and convenient one, even if it’s not exactly bringing them as much happiness as it could be.

Notice that House wakes up from this dream abruptly, meaning this was a nightmare that ended not in the way the mind would preferred (according to that program on Discovery Channel) The mind was not able to overcome the problem, was not able to resolve it. And that’s true. We know that House has resolved (had an epiphany) at the end of the episode.
