HALF LIGHT, BOOKS, WARM WEATHER

Having discovered the secret staircase I spent several hours happily browsing through the vast library the upstair neighbors had left behind. Room after room of bookcases, with here and there windows looking out over the leafy tree-lined street outside their apartment. Which I had also been unaware of. And such lovely reference books. When I went downstairs afterwards my landlady told me that they weren't coming back for any of it. So enjoy!

That should probably be the last time I have two bowls of icecream before going to bed. It doesn't do good things to my mind while I'm asleep. The actual last tenants that were above me were students at the conservatory, they did not leave a lovely bookcollection spanning several rooms, and there is no shady avenue that breaks the sunlight outside.

It is quite possible that the amlodipine besylate also had a hand in my dream.
I take that in late afternoon. The other pills I pop in the morning.

I do very much wish that there was an abandoned library without any other people above me. Occasionally my land lady drifting through, or my apartment mate happily reading something in a chair on the landing. Several rooms past that some windows open near the table with the ashtray so that I could smoke my pipe while there.

That's the second time I've dreamed of a different spatial reality connected to where I live in recent months. It really must be caffeine, sugar, and medication related. Both dreams involved shade and very distinctly experienced weather.

This was the first time I've wandered through a silent library with so many books and scarcely anybody there. It was very wonderful. I was loathe to wake up.
I just wanted to have all that.
