I have a host of strange dreams, almost nightly. A lot of them invoke some architectural associations, vast halls and impossibly high and steep drops, endless stairwells. I dreamt the other night I was in an ancient Russian fortress, which had seen an incarnation as a firestation. Deep wells ran through the turrets that formerly had fire poles to slide down. Nothing so strange or spectacular there, but I distinctly remember taking out my digital camera and snapping a few shots of the castle. I cannot recall ever having the wherewithal to have a dream camera at my disposal. When I woke up, I reviewed the photos on the camera, just to make sure.
