Your house of dreams

Post Reply New Topic

I just got inspired by Auntblabby in another thread - thank you for the inspiration, man

So my question is: if you could live in ANY house and in ANY environment - for example if you died right now and discovered that in the astral world on the other side of the veil dividing the world of the living from the world of the dead, you could create your eternal home from the delicate astral matter, what would you make it to look like?

I would create then a mansion looking like the one that belongs to Julie in the "Heavy Metal F.A.K.K 2" game and it would stand near the shore of the ocean because I would love to live on the island from "Lost" I also would love to have a maze surrounding my mansion - like the one from "The Sandman" - you know, Destiny of the Endless and his maze of forking paths if you know the comic books And I would love to have the eternal sunset above the ocean

I would love to have a bedroom (yes, I know that spirits don't sleep but still) that would look like the one belonging to Joan Collins (when I was a teen, once I saw the photo of it in one illustrated magazine; it had a luxurious canopy bed with white curtains with a green leaf pattern on and the matching wallpapers on the walls) And I would love to have many, many books on my shelves - all the books that belong to me now; the ones by my most favorite writers, especially by Stephen King.

I would love my favorite pets live in there with me too - like Żaba the ratter dog and Łapimyszek the piebald cat; they really belonged to my grandparents when they were still alive - both my grandparents as well as their pets

My house of dreams would be built like Stalag 13. It would have bunk beds that all my friends and I would sleep in. There would be a working pre-war German TV set in one of the corners and the house would have WiFi. There would also be a simple 40s type bathroom and a kitchenette.

my house of dreams would be atop a tall cliff, overlooking the ocean. on the other side would be a verdant valley with mountains in the distance. there'd be a holographic media room. all the lighting would be non-localized. I'd have a subterranean garage with mint condition Cadillac sedan DeVilles parked in it, pink ones, white ones, red ones, blue ones, gold ones, chrome ones. there'd be an elevator down to the beach, and I'd have a yacht parked down there.

my dream house would be the White House but that will never happen.

Btw, I wonder how comes that no one else has started a similar thread Or at least I never saw here such a thread before.

And oh, I just hit upon another idea - I would love my house of dreams to stand in some distance from a town from Lovecraft's stories on Ulthar and similar places in Dreamland And I would love its windows to look out on the places like the sky full of stars, the inside of an ocean etc. - just like in this story: https://homepages.math.uic.edu/~kauffma ... dHouse.pdf

Bump! Anyone? It's such a cool idea for a thread that I can't believe no one else has posted their idea in this thread

I'd like my house to look like three peas in a pod. My fence would look like a bunch of smaller pea pods in a row. I'd have round shrubs in the front.

my existing tin can in the woods with all the neighbors GONE!!

I wouldn't mind my house being in the time loop like in the books by Ransom Riggs - I think it would be great if there were zombies like the ones from the Walking Dead roaming behind the barriers of the loop - I would love to be able to see them behind the barriers I would know I was safe for as long as I was not going to leave the loop

Very large.
Wonderful, peaceful wooded view.

Portions of it having rooms for a library (books & audio disks & video disks).
At least two rooms for watching video disks (to simultaneously entertain two audiences with different interests).

Small, adequately equipped kitchen and dining area for me.

Well equipped guest quarters that could properly care for a number of guests.

Spacious, well-equipped garage for our cars.

Proximity to a nice town.
Proximity to an excellent hospital.

A cabin in the woods next to a river.

A van down by the river.
