My Hidden Rooms

For years I have had dreams where we are in a new house and after moving in and being there for a few days I find a hidden room. These rooms always have things in them that the last tenant has left behind probably because this is a room that has been forgotten or they just didn't want the contents. But these things are always fascinating to me.

I found another one last night.

It was behind a couple of closets. I noticed through a hole a life size painted cut out of Goofy & Donald Duck. So I decided to venture back to see what was there. I found a room about 5x4 that was apparently used for toy storage because the toys were still there.

There were 2 doll houses one small tin one and a large wooden one (both furnished), puzzles, books, toy cars and more that I didn't really look at. Beside the large doll house there is a short hallway with a door on the left wall, hanging on the wall before that door are about 15 or so handmade dolls for the doll house, some cloth & yarn some porcelain. The door lead to an old bathroom, larger than the one that is in the house but for some reason the tub has been removed and the window covered over. Out the window is the backyard, why I don't know there is an extra window on the back of my new house I don't know, but being the typical woman I started planning the bathrooms make over. My dream ended with me trying to figure out where I was going to get a claw foot tub to go in it.

I'll have to jot down the other rooms from my dreams. There has been the fully furnished Victorian ladies study in an attic off of an already found large empty room. The entire apartment that apparently was mine but I had forgotten about (how do you forget an apartment). And the series of underground rooms under our semi shared with my husbands best friends semi.

What these dreams mean, who knows.
