House, Sweet, House

It’s always different yet always the same. I find myself in a house. I look around. There are antique pieces of furniture, stacks of books in the corners, and on the walls--paintings made with actual paint instead of just prints on poster paper.

I begin walking through the rooms, glancing right and left. One leads to another which leads to another. It’s like an endless maze of wonderful rooms. I realize, or am told by someone with me, that the house is mine. I can’t believe it. I'm filled with a sense of happiness and satisfaction.

Then I wake up and it’s all taken away. Well, except the stacks of books in the corners. Those are a reality.

Just found your blog. Had a really good one to share from last night... until I read you wanted nothing pervy!

I think it's cool that when you open your eyes from your dream, you see an image from your dream.

Interesting. Can you please tell us - are the books read or unread, red or green, overdue at the library, or "long-borrowed" from next door?

Do the people who share the house with you share your love of books, or is this a source of conflict?
