Another House Dream

Last night
I had a dream that I was taking a walk.
I was walking
in the city where I used to live.
I happened to pass the house
that I sold about five years ago.
The people who bought the house
had lost it to a foreclosure.

It just so happened that
a real estate agent
was showing the house
to someone as I was passing by.
As the person left
I asked the real estate agent
if I could have a look at the house.
He was glad to show me in.

The house had a camper in the living room.
He explained that
that was because the previous owner's family
needed more bedrooms.
The camper was their son's bedroom.
He said the daughter had her room in the basement.
I told him that I was the previous owner of the house
and I knew that the house had no basement,
just a crawl space.
He then opened a trap door
and led me down the stairs to the basement.
It was a finished basement,
only the area that was bedroom was finished.

We then went back upstairs
and I noticed that the furnace
was not only in a different place,
there were two furnaces.
He said that it was to heat the other camper.
He then opened a door
that led into another camper.
It was annexed to the house,
but not visible from the outside.
I couldn't figure that out. . .
It was like a hidden room.
The second furnace was to heat this
camper, this hidden room.

He said the house was selling for $40,000.00
I asked if that was for a 30 year mortgage.
That just didn't seem right to me.
The monthly payments would be so small.
I seriously considered re-buying the house.

So many dreams about hidden rooms. . .
What does a hidden room mean?
A hidden basement?
And why would I dream about a house
I sold several years ago?
What does $40,000 mean?
Is it a symbolic amount?
And 30 years?....

Wilt Chamberlain

I had a dream that I was visiting some friends.
A group of them
Decided to live together
To save money.
They didn’t have much furniture
And had to make due with the space available.
The linen closet had people’s clothes in it.
The kitchen cabinets had personal items.
They just made due with what they had.

I don’t remember how many lived in the house.
But there were ladies and gents in the household.
But it was all platonic,
All about trying to get ahead financially.

I went into the basement
And found more clothing,
Folded neatly on a table.
It wasn’t the laundry.
I think it was just that there wasn’t enough closet space
And no dressers in the house.

And then I saw a light on
In the back of the basement.
It was the laundry room.

I hadn't noticed this room before
as it was sort of hidden from view.
It was the light that made me notice it.

And it was more of the same,
Personal items, clothing, ect.
And then I saw a gentlman there.
He said that the laundry room
Was his bedroom.

And then I realized
That it was Wilt Chamberlain.
He said that the others in the house
Hadn’t recognized him.
He asked that I not tell them his true identity.
I’m not sure,
But I think he was trying to see firsthand
How people with limited resources
Manage to find a way to make ends meet.

Note:
Isn’t Chamberlain deceased?
Why do I keep having dreams in them
With people who are deceased?
Also,
What’s with the recurring theme
Of hidden rooms?
What meaning does hidden rooms in dreams have?

The Secret Room

Another short dream,
but one that is very interesting.

I had a dream that I was in the basement
in the laundry room.
I had a can of Raid
because there were a lot of of those little fruit flies.
I found where they were coming from.
There was a pipe coming out of the wall,
I think it was a water pipe.
But they were tucking themselves in behind the wall.
So, I had the bug spray and was going to spray them out of there.

But then,
I noticed a light coming from the small spaces
around that pipe.
I took a closer look,
and I could see that there was another room,
a secret room on the other side.

I tried to figure out how to get in that room.

But,
before I could figure out how to get in,
my eldest son found the way.
There was secret passage to that room
about half way down the stairs to the basement.

The room was basically,
just another basement.
Cement floor, unfinished walls,
ductwork, etc.

The room seemed to be midpoint
between the first floor and the basement,
which was virtually impossible for it to be so.
But there it was.

We had a secret room.
