Last night while I slept…

I dreamt of one of my ‘fantasy places’… happens from time to time and always makes me smile… Last night I dreamt I was standing in this two story wood construction house siting at the narrow end of a forested valley. The house was somewhat wedge shaped with a huge plate glass window that let you see down the valley to your left and straight up the tree covered mountain to the right… Looking down the valley you could see dark green lush tree covered mountains on either side as far as the eye could see and at random spots down the valley you could see castle like buildings peeking out from the trees… The house I was in wasn’t large but it was comfortable and seemed to blend right into the forrest with a picnic table in front and trees almost right up to every side… I don’t remember there being any drive way or even any way to get to the house…

My other favorite fantasy place dream is a little village set in what felt like a rain forrest… The village was set in a very steep mountainous area with rushing water streams coming from every which way and really lush green trees, vines, and other foliage all over the place. All of the houses were nestled back into the terrain and looked like they were built into the cliffs and hills themselves… very small but comfortable houses that felt almost like hobbit homes.. Birds flew EVERYWHERE, the plants bloomed in every color, and there was always a light mist in the valley..

ok… Kinda cookey I know but MAN – if I could find places like these to live I’d be beside myself… I wish I could draw or paint cuz words just don’t do these images justice! 🙂

Just had to share! 🙂

Need help? Favourite fantasy place number two can be found many times over in the foothills surounding the base of Mount Kinabalu, northern Borneo. I’ve been a number of times, as I used to live in Malaysia, and this is exactly what was brought to mind.
It is idyllic, and I love spending time there, but it is by no means luxury. That ‘s fine with me, but if you value your air conditioning and regular hot water, best live in one of the nearby towns and visit on weekends 😉

Ya know… if it is anything like I imagined in my dreams i’d give up all of the luxuries I have here in a heart beat! :):)

That’s a great attitude – I approve entirely 🙂
