View Full Version : houses in trees

not treehouses in the traditional sense, mind you ;)

last night i dreamt that i was in an upper-class suburban neighborhood.
and as i walked around, i noticed that many of the houses were acutally about 20 feet in the air, supported by groups of young oak trees.

the houses themselves were giant: about 4 stories, with huge windows, and wall-length mirrors inside. other than that, the houses looked like normal upper-class suburban houses.

so i continued from house to house, not thinking anything was out of the ordinary (i didn't realize that i was dreaming). i just looked around, and kind of wondered why, and then the dream shifted to something else. but this was the clearest picture: a 4 story house, in the trees.

i get a couple of meanings from this... one actual: i've seen lots of neighborhoods like this, where big rich houses were built on and around groups of young oak trees. one metaphorical: the elevation of the houses conveys status. or, man's inventions will always be on the backs of nature's creations. you know what i mean...

any thoughts??
