Years ago (gosh - 2006!), I posted about having recurring "I can levitate and I can prove it" dreams, in which I was not only thrilled that I could levitate, but I was also taking steps to prove to people it wasn't just a dream, only to wake up to the obvious disappointment.
This morning, it occurred to me that over the last year or so, I seem to be having a lot of spooky, dark, possibly haunted, house dreams. Last night, I was in one in which a new family was living, and I was staying with them, after having sold the mansion to them because it was huge and creepy and empty at night, and I felt sure it was probably haunted. As it turned out, they were travelling somewhere and it looked like I was being left alone in the house again, with considerable misgivings.
I haven't even been watching any ghost or haunted house movies for a long time. I do like the genre, when well done, but it sometimes feels that it's sort of got to the point where it's all been done as well as it can. Although it's a few years ago that I watched it, I still think the best spooky movie I have seen - possibly ever - might be The Orphanage.
Incidentally, I have often mentioned to my daughter, when we are looking at some huge mansion style residence either in real life or on Youtube, that I don't know I would want to live in a house so big that it could be being broken into at one end, and you would never know it from the other, because of the sheer distance involved. (I know that common thieves will walk into even modest sized houses with unwisely unlocked doors and quietly take keys and stuff - I have an acquaintance to whom that happened recently, as it happens. But I don't like the idea that something really bad could happen in one end of a house, and barely be heard from the other.)
Anyway, I don't know why haunted house dreams seem a popular feature in my sleeping brain lately.
