I have also had those dreams of finding a treasure trove of parts. Especially when I was collecting red bricks for my huge red brick house. Numerous times, I would dream that I would go up to my attic and find a box of old Lego bricks left by the previous owner. I also have had dreams about building with other people, usually specific AFOL I have had the pleasure of meeting.
But, this past week I had the most unsettling Lego dream ever. I went to my
"Lego Room" (which used to be a dining room, but we haven't eaten a formal
dinner in there since I started building), and all of my projects were finished.
I was a bit shocked since normally I have a number of projects on the go,
waiting for orders to finish them up. But in this dream, every single project
was finished. All the rest of the blocks were put away and all organised and
extremely tidy (which never happens irl either).
I stood staring at my collection, and the finished products, and it came to
me...... like a rush of horror. I had no more ideas, nothing else I wanted to
build, no thoughts, no sketches or notes of future projects, in fact no projects
came to mind at all...... it was very weird and sort of unnerving.
I'm certain that this will never happen, but I think due to my very long dark
ages, I sometimes wonder, will I just put them away and forget about them for
another 20 years???
I hope not!
