The House That Wouldn’t Let Me Leave

Dream recorded 12/3/2025

I was in an old house with people from my past, though I can’t remember exactly who.

I was staying there with a friend because I didn’t want to do something that might damage their home.

The house had many rooms and we stayed on one floor.

The room we were in had a lot of junk and strange doors, including round doors and hidden rooms.

Some rooms were lower than others.

There was a storage room filled with junk.

I tried to look over a table piled with items, but I felt small and couldn’t see over it.

The house felt like a mix of multiple homes.

At one point we went outside, but it was still somehow inside the house.

Someone showed me birds.

At first I couldn’t see them.

Then I saw four tiny finches.

Behind me there were three more black finches with orange beaks singing.

I needed to leave but couldn’t.

Every time I tried to leave, someone showed me something else that led to another place.

At the end one room became a school.

A white teacher was laughing and speaking with me.

He had to go teach the kids but gave me directions to leave.

Then I heard someone say something about Phoebe coming.

My dreams often contain other dreams inside them, which makes them harder to remember.

I usually only remember scenes that stay still for a while.
