Living in a place like this:

http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb2 ... 4P01-4.png

...On a pyramid shaped tower with 3 floors and a natural pool, with a hidden underground room and lots of solar energy panels (I don't want to pay the electrical energy bill). I would also have an orchard, to minimize food expenses. And a helicopter, to go back to civilization whenever I wanted.

Not to mention the financial security I would need to make such a dream come true.

somewhere in Scotland, sunshine, water, mountains, green trees, hot feet in cool running water, wine, whisky, cheese, chocolate, olive bread,
my warm body snuggled up to their warm body, stroking, grinning, smelling, licking, nibbling, kissing, adoring

I know this will sound very strange but...

Being in a real-life horror movie setting, like finding an old abandon house or village haunted by evil spirits and demons and getting to explore around looking for a way to escape.

I'm so weird. :oops:

A place where the phrase "life isn't fair" never applies. No tragedies, no suffering, no hate, no wondering why things have to be so ugly and senseless, and no events that make you wonder what God could possibly be thinking by allowing them to happen.

when i think of heaven i see classic greek-style columned temples made of light, and spirits gauzed in aural clouds of sparkling white vapor. their is golden illumination that comes from everywhere and nowhere. there is never anything resembling night, only an unearthly glowing twilight if a spirit wants it. i see many places of 4D immersive learning, and at the borderlands between dimensions, i see stations where mediumistic communications are facilitated. i see countless different levels of paradise, where the higher levels can see down but the lower levels cannot see up. the lower levels more resemble the best parts of earth, while the upper levels are unimaginably cosmic. crystal cities and golden reflections everywhere. even the flowers and trees sparkle and glow in uniquely heavenly colors beyond human perception. a place where thoughts are instantly manifest in reality. a place with waters which sing in the sublime choirs of legions, with harmonies up to unimaginable heights, where the very ether sings electric joy. a place where it is a holiday always. a place where fear and worry are unknown, where there is only total knowing eternal "now" and the most intense rapture.


What Dreams May Come is one of my favourite films. I love its concept of heaven, especially the initial scenes. The colours are so intense and beautiful.

I think you're a bit of a visionary auntblabby.

i like the positive parts of the definition of "visionary" :thumright: i've long had a thing for intense colors or unusually harmonious combos of color, both visual and aural. in a few of my dreams i've visited the lower rungs of heaven which look like the best parts of earth, but i knew it was heaven because i floated around everywhere and there was no talking, everybody read each other's mind. i wish i could have more of those dreams, but they came to me only when i was in a difficult patch of my life. i really wished i had the talents of the late robert monroe [google him], he truly was gifted.

Well, I've done lots of reading on people's experiences of heaven, and general afterlife experiences.

For me, my happiest thing I can think to do on Earth would be having the ice skating rink either to myself, or if some female who loved me or whatever that silly emotion is was there, too, that'd be great. I love having the ice skating rink to myself, as I can just completely let my defenses down, play whatever music I want, and it's just like I'm in my own ice skating world where I can let my creativity go rampant. It's one of the few times I truly feel happy, is when I skate. I'm glad I get to do it for an hour a day, and it's gonna be tough if I get a job, as I don't know if I'll be able to like, "live" with missing it, as the joy I get from it so immense. But when I have the rink to myself, as I've had it before, aww, it's so wonderful.

As far as geographical locations, I gotta say Vermont was as close to Heaven on Earth as I've ever gotten. I just loved Vermont, it was so peaceful there compared to any other place I've been in. Killington, VT in summer, so wonderful. I could just play in the brook, hike around a bit, go ice skating in Rutland, and also, the roads were PERFECT for me, I loved driving there. Driving there was great, as it's all nice gentle rolling country roads, it felt like Initial D on easy mode. People say it's boring, well, whatever, at the super duper old age of 20, I like it's "boring"ness, it's so peaceful.

A huge padded room with things to climb and swing on, with lots of cats roaming around that I can cuddle and stroke, lots of games and games consoles, lots of books, and my boyfriend and a couple of my closest friends in the room with me so we can play together.

After death? Heaven with God. In this life? The material heavens to colonize and conquer as a new frontier to pioneer would be nice.
