Mysterious Dream Room

Some Kind of Mystery - Nette Onclaud 1-14-26
As a ten year old I dreamt of a huge room with a stone fireplace.  Three weeks later I walked into that room.  From that time to toady, I still have experiences like this one.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mysterious Dream Room

Through gauzy metaphors in tangled dreams
I see a room - a river rock fireplace
An unknown place - a fire unlit
Silvery cobwebs hide definition
As crisp details hide, yet smile
Room with no name - no place on a map
Clutching the arms of reality
In the sunlight I stand in my dream room.

sara Etgen-Baker January 19, 2026 at 10:52 PM those types of things happen to me pretty regularly....as if I'm tuned into something quite different Sam Kauffman January 20, 2026 at 11:05 AM Hi Sara, so glad to hear from you. Was hoping all is well. Have you been away? It's a pretty amazing experience. My mother had this ability. I have it and both of our sons have it. We definitely operate on a different level of perception and are tuned into the world in a different way. Thank you for sharing your experiences!! Sending you blessings and hugs.
