I have a recurring group of similar architecture-based dreams that please me a lot when they visit me.
The one this morning was a nice one.
I found myself in a house that was suddenly, somehow, under my ownership or at least, access, and I wandered around thinking about the floor plan, thinking, "Yes, this is lovely - quite interesting! It suits me well." I find more and more interesting details as I walk, such as perhaps a built-in shelf that the cat may take the sun on, interesting angles playing with lighting, etc.
An anxiety-provoking part of this dream sometimes then follows, in which I suddenly realize that I have to gather up all my textbooks and numerous other belongings from the previous place in a very timely manner, for the new occupant. I set to this task, but the more I pack, the more I find, and I realize I can't possibly find and box everything up in the given time.
I realize I have to abandon those possessions and hope for the best, starting anew ...

Very interesting. I've had a similar series of dreams, usually involving cities I've never been to (they probably don't exist) where the architecture plays a large role in the general feeling of the dream.
A more modern city inspires a more technological sci-fi type of dream, whereas something from the world of M.C. Escher would usually lead to some esoteric guide giving me secrets to be promptly forgotten upon waking.
Thanks for responding, DKW.
You are one of the world's very few people who has read my blog, ha ha.
Do you like the theme of "recurring dreams"? I do. There are several other recurring themes, of course - e.g., the unchecked college mailbox.
(I had the moving-out-without-all-my-posssessions dream again this morning.)
And after seeing "The Matrix" or some other techno geek movie - boy, the architecture dreams can get a bit deviant! :-)
