Dream Off

Ever see one of those soft shoe face offs? "Anything you can do, I can do better" set to the beat of tapping feet, all in the name of fun and dance...

Seems Little Sister and I are competing for that beautiful multicolored cloak and the title of Family Joseph(ine) this week...

She sent me her own crazy dream and last night, as if I had to declare an answer, I too, had another strange adventure in Dreamland ...which I won't bother to describe because, like other people's vacation photos, I know other people's dreams can only hold your interest if they include nudity.

What I woke with was this realization, and I may be a few centuries behind here, but " If you can dream it, it's a possibility" (which at this very moment, in another web tab, I am discovering, is sort of a Walt Disney quote and/or franchise, too)

What seemed a new and fabulous thought to me had a lot to do with construction and creation in general.

In my dream, I entered a building whose stairwell drastically narrowed as it ascended upward, eventually dwindling to little more than ledges on which to sit or use for further upward mobility until the ledges had faded and flattened into the ceiling itself. Upon reaching the rafters, one found herself dwelling amongst various fixtures and furniture of antique persuasion, where she would promptly have a cup of something with a crunchy, buttery something else to dip in it, as she discussed items of business and interest with others dwelling in the rafters nearby.
(Furniture on the ceiling- how very Wonderland-ish!)

I figure, if I state it in as many different ways as possible, perhaps I can make it make sense or can glean from it the obvious message I dreamed it for... I'll keep working on that. Meanwhile, I leave you with the broader, more generally applied idea:

Dreams can be fantastically warped, and I think, with the proper attention paid, transcribed by the dreamer into reality, for the rest of us to enjoy.

In my case, seems all I need is a quick degree in Architecture and perhaps, Engineering, and I could share with the rest of ya's a structure so different and new and exciting that you couldn't help but want to walk in.


...construction should be complete at the end of the week....
