Dream Building

It happened again recently: I dreamed about a building in Seattle that doesn't exist. Apparently, my brain made it up.

It's white boxy building just south of the I-90 and I-5 interchange and west of I-5. It's a transportation hub. There are light rail tracks on the bottom floor (which may be underground) and the upper floors have bus terminals on various levels.  However, there's no ramps for the buses to get in or out of the building. So how do they? I have no idea.

In one dream there was a big screen on the first floor showing which bus or light rail to take to where you wanted to go. Since you can't read in dreams, I couldn't figure it out.

The strange thing is, this non-existent building has appeared in my dreams many times. It's not a very clever building as it's just a white box. It seems whenever I dream about Seattle, there's that building and I always get lost in it.

Interestingly, a "white box building" is "In commercial real estate and construction, a white box (or "vanilla shell") is a partially finished commercial space. It serves as a blank canvas ready for a tenant's custom fit-out," according to Google AI.

But that's not the point of this post. What is the point? Well, for one, I apparently can't imagine anything better than a white box. Guess I wasn't born to be an architect. And I always get lost in it. I don't know why.

Do you dream of things that don't exist? Do you dream repeatedly about them? Let me know in the comments below.
