Dream of 26 june 04

Dream
I am in a big old house, it is a 'rich' house in that it has alot of beautiful carved wood, I think mahogany, it has wall panels and big heavy doors, I am going through the house opening doors, there are lot of doors, I remember how exciting it was investigating what was behind each one, there are people I know of around the place and I think at some point my DH is with me.I then come to a top of a staircase or rather the bannister, it is the same beautiful carved wood, rich in colour, the carving is breathtaking. As I am moving along parts of the banister start breaking away, I am terrified (really I hate heights ) but I hear people with me supporting me and I make it past the gaps safely. I lose a bit of clarity here, I know somehow there is a little boy who is not being treated so well, DH and I want to adopt him, then this matronly lady is shouting no don't remove the banister anymore because a son in law died falling down there, then I am at the bottom of the beautiful staircase and we are being called to the top (I think it is me, DH and this boy) so we are climbing the staircase. Then I am by myself climbing up this beautiful staircase, it is steep and lots of steps. The hand rail keeps changing height, so sometimes I can hold it other times not, seems I am determind to get to the top of the staircase, despite the tiredness.
