My Favorite Dreams Are Of Rooms and Spaces

Pillows By Christi

My first memory of a "room" dream is from my teenage years. I went to a house that was new to me and explored the rooms and decorations.  But there were always 2 or 3 rooms that I could not see or enter.

I have had a variation of this dream in my older years especially in my forties.  I have often wondered if the rooms that I could not see represented my future.  Am I anxious to know the rest of the story?

When I was about 15, my mother let me totally choose the colors and decorations for my bedroom.  I chose light yellow walls, gold carpet and a yellow floral bedspread.  I even had a yellow telephone in my room. This was the sixties and the phone company came out to the house and ran a phone line for my room.  I had a glass vase and some other glass accessories that I painted black.  This room was bright and cheerful to me.
Mother had green carpet in the rest of the house - this was over old oak hardwood flooring - such was the decade of the sixties!

Back to the new living room space.  This room now reminds me of that first room that I decorated.  It is bright, clean, and cheerful.  James and I love it!

sweet dreams to all.....
