As I wend my way around curving roads up high into the mountains I finally arrive at the Eight Gables Inn. I wonder what it is that drives me here! Perhaps I have developed wings and flew across the Atlantic towards The Great Smoky Mountains on my adventurous ride to the Blue Ridge Mountains. Tired I hope the Inn will live up to its reputation. The sun is setting as I view the purple orange skies darken, whilst here and there lights in desolate cottages twinkle in the dark. I hasten to my private bath and slowly sink in the warm water, overpowered by the smell of soapy foams. Pleased with my silky skin I put on a plush bathrobe luxuriously enjoying the feel of the soft fabric against my spores, and with a graceful dive find myself on top of a feather-top bed. This is the life of luxury... Until I feel the taste of blotting paper that cover my whole mouth. I open my eyes and know it was all a dream, alas.

Victor what a wonderful dream to have. Perhaps someday you can take part in it and travel and have that experience. If I was rich I'd send you a plane ticket to any place you'd wish to go...

Top Self poetry, Victor! Oh well, cheaper than the real thing...and, apparently none the less appreciated by your heart. Often for those with means and power, like everything else, it is never enough.

Dreams are sometimes pleasurable others not. This one well done and said. I like my own bed

Now, that's what I call a real dream vacation, Victor. It was so perfect-the kind of dream you wish would go on and on! Your writing is superb. :)

What a lovely dream. If we can keep having dreams like these every so often, we can enjoy the finer things in life without ever having to worry about money. What a shame that was all an imaginary concept.

You described the place beautifully. Dream or not-- you held my attention from start to end.

You certainly came down to earth with a bump but the memory lingers for the rest of the day Buy a lottery ticket Victor, who knows you could be living the dream. Tom
