Dream note
Mainly for my own records, since nobody but Googlebot "reads" this ... In the past two months, several of my remembered dreams have been firmly located in the West Central Community Center here in Spokane.
Can't think of any good reason for this. Never been inside the building. In the first 10 years here, I was working downtown daily and rode a bus that passed by WCCC. So its exterior and location are thoroughly familiar. But I don't go downtown regularly now, and the bus route also changed. Haven't seen it at all since 2001.
Most of my complex dreams are still located vaguely in Okla where I lived in the 1970s, and the characters are still based on the people I knew in the '70s. Until this recent pattern, the only Spokane-located dreams were in an improved version** of this house, and most of those seem to have been triggered by actual sounds that the dream-machine interpreted as intruders or visitors.
You'd think that 20 years in one place would make more of an impression on a brain, but apparently not!
**Oddly, the improved version of this house is constant in those dreams, with a definite floor plan. Even though I've never seriously considered remodeling, I must have an unconscious Platonic template for what this house "should have been". ¶ 5:48 AM
