After finding out that spring break is around the corner of midterms, I fell asleep around 11 pm and dreamed I was running in a lush, green forest, looking for a house. When I reached the house, the roof was porous and the walls were painted red and brown along the sides of the house. Upon entering, I noticed the vines made holes for them to hang along an entire wall of the living room. The living room was the only room there, for the way upstairs was guarded by a hedge that sprouted rose thorns from its tendrils. The way to the basement was present across the empty room. Past the basement door was an enormous network of tunnels that extended for what seemed like miles. Every turn showed pictures of keys and doors, which lit up if their colors corresponded with each other. I was awakened by my alarm at 7:00 am before completing the puzzle. This was a dream that occured multiple times in my life and would end before the completion of the puzzle. I'm starting to think that maybe the network's purpose was not to be completed, but for something else. I think thatall three theories apply to this: Freud's theory of dreams for the symbols and objects that meant something, Activation-synthesis for projecting bizzare thought patterns, and extensions of waking life for picturing my old house at shady harbor.
