Similar to many other dream house dreams, this particular house was equally huge – my latest count was upwards of six floors that seemed to keep growing and growing with each subsequent exploration up and down the maze of staircases that began off the main foyer. Throughout the course of my dream, I discovered the following:
- an incredible main living room with a 15+ foot Christmas tree and a giant wall that would be perfect for a flatscreen TV
- multiple master bedrooms, to the point where it became difficult to determine which one was actually supposed to be ours
- an awesomely secluded forest-view that was highlighted by the fun fact that it also overlooked a waterfall!
- an indoor garage/workshop space in the basement – not for cars, but tons of tools, etc…
- a great space on the other side of the basement to setup as a playroom, complete with a ball pit!
- a home office, which admittedly was one of the least glamorous rooms because it was stuck in a corner of the basement like a dungeon
- a neat grouping of kid bedrooms that all fed off a smaller living space perfect for video games, teenage lounging, etc…
- a freaking sauna!
- an exercise room … which was kind of weird in that the sauna had signs saying both rooms couldn’t be used at the same time (???)
- so many stairs that I lost count of how many gates we were going to have to buy to contain Christopher!
The only downside was that towards the end of the dream, it bounced from having purchased / going to purchase / going to rent, with the renting scenario getting even uglier when it was rumored that this particular house was owned by our horrible landlord that ultimately led us to leaving to buy our first home. Mind you, he never actually made an appearance in the dream – thank god – but the rumor didn’t bode well nonetheless!
The dream started with having bought and deciding where to put things and ended with stepping to the side as another couple appeared to tour the same house in some bizarre, reality show fashion. And she was laying it on real thick for the cameras, too, which was weird because she had these super strange nipple piercings that were clearly visible to the world and I couldn’t imagine how they could show that on television… 😕
Unfortunately I woke up before learning whether or not we actually got the place, which is too bad because strangely I think that sauna was the most appealing room to me of all.
