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.

Yeah, that's a thing. I also have fictional versions of various houses I've lived in, like the old Murkworks that somehow had a big solarium on it, or the current house which has a long corridor going off to the north to a bunch more rooms, things like that.
