Museum tours

Cheshire Riddle asked:


I dreamed of various elements. I got these elements explained to me on some site. Now I only need someone to connect the interpretations and make a summary of what it means based on the given interpretations.
I never had a dream that I couldn’t interpret freely so help would be welcome.

Here it goes. I dreamed that I was on a tour or something like that. I was in a boat, but the boat seemed to be flat like a huge sheet of paper. I was sailing on a river, but the river was everywhere, almost as if there was no ground. The length of the river was huge. I think there were a few more people with me in the boat, and there was also a guide for the tour. We were traveling to see certain museums and historical places that were placed randomly on the river. I mean the buildings were placed on the water, around us. Not in a circle, just in random places.
The only building I can remember is a huge golden palace. That has to be one of the most beautiful things I ever saw in a dream.
The palace was completely made of gold and it reminded me of one of the Japanese or Chinese temples.
After that, we sailed continuously around a mountain of books. (I’m a writer so I don’t know if this is relevant or not.) I was half asleep in the boat and reading from the book, and I can remember being disturbed by the fact that the boat kept circling the mountain of books and toys.

Now here are the interpretations from http://dreammoods.com/.
