doors between worlds



In the dream, i’m asleep. I’m in “my” bed in my room (but really i don’t recognize anything about the room and i’ve never had a big bed like the one in the dream). I get out of bed because the sun is shining through the blinds on the windows. One of the windows is facing the road and the other is over the end of the house. This could be the room i slept in when my family lived in Wappinger’s Falls maybe. That room would have had windows in that placement but i barely remember anything about that house. Anyways, in the dream, i get out of the bed and walk across the room (wood floors) to the closet and open the doors. The doors of the closet are like vertical blinds but made of wood. Like accordion shutters sort of, i guess. In side the closet are hanging four doors. Real doors, like house ‘front doors’. Each on is carved wood and seems to be acting as a divider within the closet. There are just a few items of clothing hanging at the very left of the closet, otherwise the closet is empty except for the doors hanging in it. I examine each door and see that each contains a similar carved design but with subtle differences. Two of the doors are painted the same color combinations and the other two are different. The two that are the same are both red and the carved designs are blue on the top half of the door and yellow on the bottom half. I look at the detail and think it would be nice if the contrasted carved parts were further detailed with more color but see by the complexity how difficult and time consuming it would have been to do that. The one bit of design i remember is a row of 'hinges' on the bottom carved piece. Almost like the carvings were images of parts of doors. The other door is also primary colors but i can’t remember now what the colors were. Maybe a blue door with yellow and green contrast? Or green with blue and yellow? But the one door that really stood out to me because it was so different was, going from left to right, the first door. The colors were more complicated and muted. Not really pastels but almost. I remember a purpley color that i really liked and a muted green like Spring leaves in shadow. I don’t remember what the third color was. Something like rose mauve? I close the accordian doors to that closet and turn to my left where there’s another closet. This other closets doors are open and i can see that that’s where all my clothes and shoes and stuff are kept. I try to remember where my stereo is and start to open the door to (apparently) the hallway, but in the middle of the thought go back and open the accordian doors to look at the painted doors some more.

Doors inside closets. What does that signify? Something about inner worlds maybe? Dreams? Sub- or unconscious worlds/desires/journeys? It was a pleasureable dream, regardless. I felt at peace in that room.
