Another building Dream

The phone woke me up in the middle of a dream, so it was easy to remember. In character, this was a somewhat unremarkable dream because it was processing concerns that have been on my mind lately. The interesting part was the setting.

It was a rather large building overlooking a valley. Hunt Technologies occupied the ground floor. We were no longer involved with Hunt Tech, but they were the amiable neighbors below us. Our current business was having a meeting of about 20 salesmen and managers on the main floor. I was concerned that the sales people didn't fully understand some basic principle of their job.

Wrapped around our business space was a school that was operating successfully. We apparently had been instrumental in founding it. I was currently mad at Lynn for donating another $120,000 to it without even consulting me.

The building is quite the metaphor for our current life. Hunt Tech is both beneath us and supporting us; sort of a foundation. The view over the valley is reminiscent of where I grew up and of Hunt Tech's location. Our current business is just beginning to get sales oriented. A school is wrapped around our current business, not the center of it, but much of the outer face of it.
