My Life Visions as a Metaphor

I wrote some of my life as a metaphor...If you think you know what it means then by all means take a shot at it...I will send you a message letting you know what it all really means if you would like.

So I'm driving down this country road somewhat aimlessly. I find myself in the middle of nowhere, with miles of nothing behind me, and presumably miles of nothing ahead of me, with the exception of a quickly approaching house on the left hand side of the road.. I slow down as I approach because there is something familiar about this place. I decide to stop see what is ringing so familiar... I pull into the dusty drive, approaching the house that is now on my right. I stop in an open area between the large garage and the house. I hoped out of the car and walked around the yard. The house is very large, and seemingly well built. After walking around the yard I decide to take a look inside. All of the exterior doors are unlocked, so it was easy to get into the place. Inside I found it fully furnished, filled with things, some interesting, some junk. Every room looked as though it had been turned upside down. It was a mess. Nothing particularly damaged, but in complete disarray. It's wasn't long before the sun began to set and I found myself running out of light. To my convenience, there were many candles in every room, so with a little fire, there was enough light to continue looking about. The more I examined, the more detail, and the more rooms there were. At some point, I was no longer alone. Friends and acquaintances were present, also looking for candles to enable them to explore along with me. As interesting as it all was, eventually I grew tired and sat down for what was intended to be a moment. I fell to sleep.

I woke up the next morning alone. The assorted things and furnishings in the house were gone. It was an empty and vacant place. It was my place. I didn't know how I was going to legally acquire ownership, the cost the place, or the risks, but I knew it was mine, and this was where I was going to truly settle in. So I returned to the house that I had been calling my home and explained to the fiance that I found a new home, and that I was moving into it. I took her to see the place. While she didn't immediately express a dislike of the place, she was apprehensive. I began moving my things in, with every intention of her joining me. She brought a few of her things in, but only a few.


I continued about my day putting things in their places. Things were as they should be.. Not perfect, but as they should be.. It was again starting to get dark outside, so I decided to go through the house and determine if the exterior doors could be locked to limit the points of entry into the house as I slept. I found that many of the doors could not be locked, and at first I tried to come up with creative ways to lock the place up. Eventually, I lost interest in this, it just didn't seem to matter anymore. If I was where I belonged, and everything was as it should be, what are the real risks? Nothing more than what should be. So I took that thought to bed...


So I woke up looking at the ceiling wondering what that was all about. The idea of the house was not new to me. The difference is, the house has always belonged to someone else. Someone else's world that I was exploring and attempting to become a part of. Somewhere along the way, I found my own, and have chosen to live there. There's plenty of room for guests, and plenty of room for disappointment. There is risk and unknown, but safety at the expense of passion is more harmful than good. So here we are.. Moving in.. My house, my world. I know it's only the beginning, but can't help but feel some kind of closure, as if, I'm not locked into a new path with no way to turn around. But from here on out I will not complain. I will only enjoy what I have and make it a new as with myself.

Is this a dream sequence ? I think splitting into more paragraphs would help the reader to follow it more.
I find it interesting and want to read more.
