Another Dollhouse
Last night I dreamed that I was in a part of Cincinnati called Clifton, only the town was old-fashioned. In real life Clifton is an alternative area, though wealthy. In the dream, it was kind of "antique cool." Everything was in muted colors, again like Lemony Snicket (See dream below). I looked thru the window of a big store and saw a dollhouse way up high on a shelf. It was an antique dollhouse, run-down, though beautiful, with intricate moldings. It was completely empty. I was quite taken with it and decided to go check it out more closely inside the store. There were people from a bygone era wandering the store. I looked for the dollhouse, and it seemed to be gone. I couldn't find it.

I'm really not sure what this dream means. I've been feeling melancholy lately. It's also the anniversary of when I was raped eight years ago. That was when my parents' divorce was going on too. Hmmm, not sure about this dream.
Again, I feel it's either pertaining to having a child (housing a doll) or relating to childhood in a longing way.
Your writing continues to wow me. B
Interesting dream and analysis. The "bygone era" and antique references definitely resonate with me as references to the past. The feeling, however, as you described the dream (before i read the analysis), came off as almost romantic to me. but maybe that is what i was searching for from my own melancholy state. :-)
i was looking at other dream blogs, and I found this one.
& I live in Cincinnati, but not in clifton. which is a pretty cool place.
