Library dreams

I had a dream last night of a strange library. I have the strongest sense of deja vu, that I've had the dream before.

I dreamt that there's a reading room inside a library that you have to climb a ladder to get to. But before the ladder is a narrow hallway - vertically so narrow you have to get down on your stomach and shimmy through it. Awkward and uncomfortable and claustrophobic.

My college library had lots of cool, weird rooms. But I'm pretty sure nothing like this. Yet much more mundane and with outdated upholstery and furnishings than in a Harry Potter school library.

Hmm...

I actually went online and looked at floor plans of the libraries at my college, to make sure I'm not weirdly remembering something. I'm not. I wonder what book-spelunking would symbolize to Freud.

Mobius Town

I had a dream last night with an interesting image: a Mobius town. You couldn't leave the town, because as you got to the edge of it, you'd end up inside one of the buildings in the middle. And in the middle of town, there was a diorama that showed the outside, which you could enter and end up on the edge of town. Like a secret passage, but topologically sublime.

The town had lots of Chinese letters, and I did lots of juggling, and the people I was with all seem straight out of my trip. And the beautiful redhead was obviously Katy.

But a town that's being demolished/attacked, where you can't escape, but you can evade by jumping into a sewer and ending up in the movie theater on the other side of town...

My brain comes up with cool stuff. I think this is right up there with canned food spelunking and sentient garbage cans.
