recurring dreams

over the years i've had my share of recurring dreams. different issues/different times/different scenarios. one such recurring dream i had last night once again.

this dream always focuses on the idea that i have a much larger apartment than i ever noticed before. i suddenly realize that there's this really large section, involving many rooms and possibly another entrance altogether, is available to me but that for some reason i've never ventured into it or even paid attention to it being there. in the dream i end up having a realization that i always sort of knew this was here but for some reason had blocked it from my memory. in walking through the many corridors and extra-large rooms and many small nooks and crannies, i realize that i have so many options and opportunities for making an even better and fully-developed home. these places are often filthy from never being used for many, many years. and sometimes i find things from people who lived there previously that i never cleaned out because i've only been living in my space for the time-being.

anyway, there's a variety of scenarios involved in these recurring dreams. but what i think they mean to me in general is the idea that i have many more opportunities and options in life than i often notice and that if i can open my eyes to the full range than i will be able to fulfill many of those with my own dreams and hopes and aspirations. it will involve a lot of cleaning and dusting and figuring out what to do will all those long-unused rooms and opportunities, but if i take time to do so i can have a much richer and fuller home to live in.
