04:21:2002 Entry: "DREAM"

DREAM

Part of this dream was influenced by the radio this morning as I was listening to "Calling All Pets" on WPR. I remember seeing a bunch of rodents, mice and ferrets. I put my hand in with one of the ferrets to pet it. It looked like a cat. I was rubbing its head and was annoying it, so it turned to bite me very hard--fortunately I was wearing a long sleeved coat so I didn't feel the pain. Then I remember driving around in either Fort Collins or Madison, looking for a specific "house upon the hill" (from a Door's song). I think it must have been on the west side of Ft. C. as opposed to Madison, but that's just because the area looked really familiar...around Vine and Shields area, perhaps...somewhere around there anyway. I don't know why I was trying to find this house...it had some meaning to me. I had it in my mind that it was a one story with an attached garage with strange skylights over the garage and an attic space over the garage too. I found one house that partially fit the description although it was a two-story, but for some reason I knew it was "the house." I went inside. I could hear a woman's voice, and I saw a young girl about 9. I followed her down a hallway. She was confused as to who I was and what I was doing there. The house was about as old as our house in Madison, with an equal amount of original features and updates, except it was bigger, with a secret staircase in back. I went down the staircase and found a bunch of odd doors, mostly closets. There was a doorjam that had a pillar-like structure. I oohed and aaahed over that. I went back up the secret staircase, and as I got up to the top, I had a hard time fitting through the entry...it was child's sized. A very strange Alice in Wonderland sort of dream.

Yeah, I was eating chocolate. Cadbury eggs. Yum.

I get rotary phone dreams too. And high school locker combination padlock dreams where I can't remember the combo, and when I do rememer it, my fingers won't stop on the right numbers.
