superhuman superhouse

so i had this really weird snoozing dream (repeatedly pressing snooze on my alarm clock to perpetuate the dream) this morning where unbeknown to me, my house was a lot bigger than i thought it was. this has happened before, in other places...where i feel like i was living somewhere for a long time and there's like...a closet door that goes to another large portion of house i didn't know existed (it's never where i'm living, but has aspects of it that do correspond to my place). i wonder if it's because i move so much. longest i've ever been anywhere since leaving my mom was 8 months (i'm at the end of six here, though).

either way, so this house..i'm there for at least a while. and i know there're people that live there who are on some sort of trip or vacation (gone at least a month) and (much like my current situation) i have to get used to having other people in the house when i was so used to being alone. so when they finally come back (i was expecting one)...i hear toilets flushing elsewhere, noises through walls i thought i went outside...and i walk over to the back of the house and sure enough, there're like, four more rooms (only one liveable, another looks like a conference room with half a kitchen...another is a playpen for kids with an empty crib....), two more bathrooms and another (larger) living room that i never knew existed. and i meet three new roomates.

turns out they all have superpowers. turns out that's why they live there. i don't remember what they can do, but they were "placed" in this house. and it becomes apparent that a bent iron light pole outside was my doing...although i don't remember it. but i later demonstrate it for someone. and THEN we end up at the black lake near hoggwart's school of magic (harry potter) at some competition...and there's a team being drawn by swimming polar bear and carriage...a few people on floating pontoons strapped to their feet...and general weirdness...at which point i did have to wake up.

i find when i get decompressed (like at the end of a semester) i have very vivid dreams. i have horrible nightmares that seem really REAL when i am stressed out, but it seems when i decompress my imagination goes haywire....fun.
