Default Re: The World of Dreams

A place I still vividly recall from a dream, but not what happened there.

Approached at dusk, with a purplish stormy sky: a reason to get out of the weather.
Surroundings: a grassy, low-hilled area with widely-spaced trees, suggestive of the park surrounding a country house. The ground is flatter closer to the house.

The building itself looked like a tall, squarish thing not unlike a cathedral with a single central tower. Much too tall to be a country house.
The entire surface is covered with hanging plants, something between hanging moss and creepers, the windows are often not covered by the plants, so glass shows through, and a door can easily be uncovered.

Most extraordinarily; the whole building is canted over at about 30degrees from the vertical, as if the underground parts are slightly fallen-in, or as if it has been clumsily 'landed' on the spot.

All the interior would be hard to negotiate, but not impossible. But to move quickly... very difficult.

I've never used this place, but did once adapt it as a gravity-manipulating spaceship, which had landed at an awkward angle, while the interior was (while the power lasted) normally-aligned.

Hope this sparks some ideas.
