Colorado dreaming


I had a very disturbing/cathartic dream last night. I'm sure as hell not going into the details of it, but I've noticed one thing I find pretty interesting: when I dream about being in my house, it's the house we lived in when I was, oh, 11 to 15. I spent more time in the house before that and the house after that, but I virtually never dream about either of those houses anymore. Barely ever about my current apartment, for that matter, and I've been here for 5 years now.

Comments:
For me, "my house" is the one I lived in when I was 10 to 15. It was in Ottawa Hills, Ohio, where I was very unhappy, but the house was great, and it is still my Platonic ideal of a house.

The only places I have lived almost as long were my first two apartments here in Basel, and neither of them has anything like the resonance of "my house."
