what could it mean when the waking mind keeps returning to thoughts of a place that is believed to have only been visited in a dream a long time ago?
it's this sort of abandoned resort on a lake, once grand but now suffering all that comes with buildings' nelect. at first i was running through the woods past all of the cabins. i was afraid, fleeing from something.
in the largest building i took refuge, and i believed i could hide there for a time. there was a grand room that was perhaps once a ballroom or banquet hall. on the far end there is a blinding gray-white light coming from outside, as would happen on a drizzly day. i followed this light into a peculiarly circuitous series of narrow hallways separated by doors with windows, the light magnfies how everything is covered in cobwebs and dust, the grit so real it was felt as much as seen.
the memories of the dream become fragmented hereafter, and the story loses its trail. i have no idea where i was heading so apparently purposefully.
i think i've had this dream more than once. however, it has been many years since the last(i believe anyway).
this is the first dream to haunt my waking thoughts like this. i wonder what i'm trying to tell myself.
