You have opportunities that are very near, but you are hiding them from yourself.?!? Sounds like at least four of them.

You know what Freud would say about the tunnel…

Hey – thought I’d add my 2 cents. I fortunately have many books from my childhood being stored at my parent’s house. My favorite is a book called Baby Dear. I need to bring it home so that I can read it to my future children.

Moving on, two of my favorite movies are Private Eye and Clue mostly because the old mansions are full of secret passways.

Lastly, I have a book called Through the Hidden Door that is based around two boys who attend a private school who find a hidden cave. In the cave they uncover ancient artifacts. It is a really cool book.

I still love to read children’s books. They are quick reads, are fun, and teach universal lessons about how to appreciate being in someone else’s shoes.

Julie – We need Karen to give us her take on these house dreams. It sounds like a symbol for your life or your outlook on your life at that given point in time. Or maybe you just really need more room in your house. )

ever read a book called the pokey little puppy? that was my favorite book when i was a kid. ironically, my dad pulled a “mom” trick and gave it back to me a few years ago after i had mentioned it in a conversation.

dads can be pretty cool, too.

sorry about your string of bad days…

I don’t often remember my dreams, but if I have a dream that stands out, it is often about a house. They are always James and I’s homes and they always have lots of rooms. In some dreams there have been hidden rooms. One dream was a old house with room after room full of beautiful antique furniture. Another dream was rooms full of waist deep water. All these “extra” rooms are usually downstairs or in a basement. It’s kinda like I “discover” them.

I so badly wish I had my childhood books. I had lots of them. I wonder what ever happened to them…

.. yes, but that would require actually paying attention..

ooh.. i did save a couple books from my childhood that i loved. one was “the house of dies drear” by virginia hamilton.. had this old house that used to be a part of the underground railroad & there was all these secret passage ways.. i decided then that when i was older, i’d have a house that had secret passages too. lol

Aww, how cute! Carl, you were such a good brother.

I’m 5 years older than my sis (Melissa), but that poor kid didn’t get much brotherly love from me. Isn’t that terrible? Like a clod, I didn’t appreciate my sister until much later. We’re super close now, but not geographically.

I went on a quest a few years ago to replace copies of books I remember having. Ebay and used bookstores are great for this. I made sure to get editions with the covers that I remembered. Its not quite the same as having your original books but is still fun.
