The Library

I had a dream once about a huge library. It had crimson concrete floors and mint green marble walls and columns. The shelves stood twenty feet tall and a row of them can be overlooked within a single glance.

The first part of my dream was that I encountered a huge shadowy figure lurking above the shelves and the ceiling. I was with my friends at that time and we were frightened by its monstrous presence. I could sense that it was ready to pounce on unwanted visitors like us, so we prepared ourselves for its attack. The creature must have been the library's guardian or some monster invading the place, but I would very much prefer the former as it did not crash the books or whatever object resides in the library.

It also had three floors. Two spiral staircases stood at both ends of the library. At the base of each staircase erected a statue: a ten foot statue of the founder of the library and at the east wing and a cherub at the west wing. The statue of the founder was made in honor for his contribution while the cherub was donated by an unknown sculptor. The first and second floors were filled with a vast array of books while the top floor was dedicated to media archives. A lot of rare audio and video compact discs can be found there.

The library had staff but they only communicate to visitors when approached.

I hoped to visit this library again.
