I am house hunting right now. I have moved from California to Massachusetts and now to Pennsylvania. Your dream feels like my reality. I dream I find the perfect house and then there is an extra room that is always an extra kitchen. I am so excited and then I wake up.

There is a neighborhood I visit in my dreams, a well-trimmed suburbia where I prefer the neighbor's house to my own. Whenever they are out -- often, I don't know where they go-- I push the door open and go inside and rummage through their things. Occasionally the dream shifts and I am at the other house, somewhat like my childhood home, there are stuffed sheep standing sentry in the hallways. I am student and I am angry that they are taking my bandanas because they can. There is a secret wing in the house full of furniture and I never have time to do anything,

I don't feel like I deserve much and I'm terrified of my internalized colonizer mentality but reading this felt just like dreaming to me

I often dream about finding an extra room. It always needs some work and you have to go through another room to get to it.

I do this with imagining the geography and architecture and layout of an entire city in my dreams!!! Over the years it has most often been San Francisco even tho I only ever visited once - why SF? Discuss. I also often have vivid dreams about ski mountains where I invent an entire lift system and mountain in my head - picture an entire trail map system - which I assume is a small piece of longing for the ski bum days
