Pretty sure this could be day residue, as Nanny and I were chatting earlier about houses with endless rooms, hallways, etc. I had 3 dreams of this place in a row.
1st Dream: It's move in day for all of the new residents at a new building in Hawaii. [Note: Initially, it appeared that I was in a certain area of Honolulu that I am familiar with and the building I was moving into is existing - not new, but less than 5 years old]. My Hawaii son-in-law was there helping me move in. From outside, it appeared to be more like a regular apartment building, but inside it seemed more like a hotel, because at one level, it had all kinds of stores - a grocery store, various kinds of shops and eateries. It looked very upscale and I recall someone saying how awesome it was to have everything we need within walking distance. [Side Note: The building I am familiar with actually has a grocery store and several eateries nearby, but all outside the building]. I don't recall seeing a lobby at all. The front doors to the apartments had a long slim window in them, about 5"w x 5'L. They had hung a slim, sheer curtain on the door, so I set to work cutting up manila folders and taping them to the door for more privacy. [Note: at this point, the dream seemed to be related to work..aka.. manila folders]. There was a man giving me instructions about setting up quickly and meeting him "at the office". At first, I was in a 1 bedroom unit that was furnished very nicely. Granite counter tops, a nice stone wood burning fireplace, very upscale looking. At some point, everyone assembles outside (near the shops). Then I briefly woke up.
2nd Dream: Upon waking, I thought about the building I am familiar with and I know it's for low-income dwellers. It wouldn't be upscale at all. I fell back asleep, still thinking about the 1st dream, and the dream continued. Still inside the building, but the design of the building inside is not at all shaped to what it looks like outside. It's rectangular-ish shaped and hollow down the middle. Meaning, I can look all the way down to the first floor, when standing at the railing, and you could walk all the way around on each floor. It seemed very hotel-like at this point - a mixture of shops and apartments. [My awake self was thinking about the earlier "house" conversation with Nanny at this point (yes, I can do that) and I knew that this was likely related to that convo, but I didn't fight it. I wanted to see where it would go].. I realize that a friend has also moved in (not totally thrilled about it) and her unit is right next door to mine's. She's excited to see me and is going on and on about how we are going to do everything together and how we can hang out all the time. (Ugh).. I tell her I need to finish unpacking and I go into my "apartment". It's now a 3 bedroom unit, each with their own bathrooms... I again briefly wake-up for about a minute - grumbling that my friend has invaded my dream.. (lol)
3rd Dream: I continue the dream where I left off, exploring the rooms that seemed to go on forever. There were multiple living and dining rooms, and kitchens. It just seemed to go on forever and then I realize that some of the units were connected by doorways and hallways - like some hotel rooms are - and for a brief moment, I was terrified that my room was connected to my friend's room, but it wasn't. Every living room and dining room had it's own wood burning fireplace. Nothing was really large, including the kitchens. Kinda on the small side, really, but it had a very comfortable feeling to it. I recall seeing a lot of gold and earthy colors, in the granite, on the walls, the furnishings. Some of the walls seemed to be painted a dark brown color. It would seem dark in some places, but the lighting and furnishings gave it a very cozy feel. The stone used on the fireplaces were a light color, too. No dark rocks. I remember feeling very comfortable there and wanting to stay. [Note: At this point, I no longer felt I was in Hawaii...aka.. the many fireplaces. Hawaii wouldn't put wood burning fireplaces everywhere like that]... I was looking for my kitchen to cook in - that's when I noticed how many kitchens there were and then realizing that my "apartment" appeared to be more like a cluster of apartments, all connected by private hallways that you could almost not see, because they were around the bend of a wall or something. So I was thinking how neat that was, because the family could all be connected, but have their privacy spaces, too. And suddenly my family was there, too. [Note: All the while I was dreaming this dream, I was recalling my conversation with Nanny, about multiples rooms in dreams possibly meaning that were are exploring our unconscious minds. So I was eagerly exploring my unconscious mind, which apparently looks like a great place to hang out..
