Why not?


I dream about landscapes with buildings in them, but sometimes get very
clear interior features.

Wow! I had a mild premonition that someone-- most likely ++, though--
would post just that (see the 'Try This' thread).

Isn't that something?

Well I really did-- both the premo, as well as the unusual architecture
in my sleep-dream...

It was of an old, dilapidated, partially gutted multi-story urban
near-heritage highrise. with the iron girder posts and beams
shabbily-exposed...

I went (flew?) in, and walked about 3 or four rooms into its bowels,
when it suddenly opened up into a stone-cathedral-ceilinged
shopping-mall with multi-storied walkways around its perimeter. I also
managed to float somewhat toward its ceiling (I seem to be having many
dreams where I'm sort of flying/floating) to get a closer look at it.

Do androids dream of electric sheep? Do architects/architectural
designers dream of novel forms of architecture?

No. That's where I got the idea.

Ascertaining this is the point of the thread.

That's exactly what I'm saying. I had a feeling someone, maybe as a
kind of joke, might.

Not exactly. It's just something I decided to tack onto the end...
Kind of like this:

I suspect ++ is Jojo. :)

I've dreamed about ruins seen from a sky view distance that when closer
revealed themselves to be illusions of ruins on landscaping artfully
painted trompe d'oeille upon other structures.
