Just for PUK and Gidg...A little story...
There once was a man from Nantucket, (oops, wrong one again...)
------------------------------------------------
Once upon a time, not so long ago, a billionaire visited a tiny island in the pacific...
There he met a young man names Nuimana, and offered to pay him US$100 to show him the island.
Nuimana smiled at this strange white man, and without a word, took him into the jungle. There he showed him how to knock coconuts out of the trees, make a hammock out of vines and place it near a palm frond which was blown by the wind like an automatic fan.
The next day, he took him fishing, where they swam through crystal clear water, speared one fish each and took them back to the beach to cook over an open fire.
The next day, they visited Nuimana's family, where they ate great island food, the children laughed and played around them, and the adults stayed up late eahc other stories.
The next morning, the billionaire had to leave, to keep running his empire. He thanked Nuimana for the best time he had in years, and tried to give him US$1000 instead of the US$100 offered at the start.
Nuimana declined, and said he didn't need any of the money, let alone the extra US$900.
The billionaire became angry and said Nuimana would never get anywhere if he didn't take money when he earned it.
"But why should I need to earn money?" He replied
"Because in a few years you can use it to make more money" Said the billionaire...
"And then what?"
"Well, you invest it wisely, take a few risks, and in another 20 years you have millions of dollars" Said the billionaire...
"And then what?"
"Well, in another 10 years, you'll have billions of dollars and you can retire?" Said the billionaire...
"And what shall I do when I retire?"
"Well, then you can buy your own island, and eat coconuts and cook fish you cauight on the beach and spend time with your family" Said the billionaire...
Nuimana just smiled.......

But you haven't been mod lurking
I had a dream about your house the other day. There was a weird kid in it (large child - uber large. almost americanly so - dark hair, feaky eyes). And he wouldn't play or talk to any one. Plus there were too many stairs.
Was tres weird.
thought you might be interested.
So tell me Mr short-statured-dream-interpreter/cuttlefish. What does it mean?
Meh

Anything for you, C@ntus...
The large child symbolises the youth and playfullness that was present in my house when last you visited. He is large, because it is an anthromorphism of the house itself.
It wasn't talking or playign with anyone as the house cannot actually do this these thigns, although it can make its presence known by sending dreams to visiters, but not those who live there permanently.
The stairs represent the effort required/distance between the visitor who is sent the dream and the house itself.
So, summing up, the house misses you (as do we) and wants you to visit again.
