dream stairs

[sistawendy]

Do you repeatedly encounter in your dreams the same places your waking self knows you've never been to? And do they involve a lot of stairs up into an attic or down into a basement? I dreamt last night that I was at Re-bar*, only it didn't look like Re-bar and there was a dungeon in the basement. Yes, that kind of dungeon. I'd dreamt of it before.

Fun fact: I didn't live in a place with a basement or attic until I was 19. I can't help but wonder if they have a stronger hold on my imagination than they do for people who grew up with them.



*Re-bar was, until a few months ago, a beloved kinda-gay bar in Seattle that also played host to a lot of theater. Nirvana got themselves kicked out of there in 1990.

I have landscape dreams where i can see the landscape inspired by real locations but they are completely fictitious. Broadly the dreams are set are outdoors (some urban landscapes), so instead of stairs, mountains and hills. My mind certainly thinks it's been to the locations over and over, but i don't remember dreams clearly so it's hard to know.
