Last night I dreamt that I wanted to shut all my windows because I felt a draft. In my dream I had a large bedroom with high ceilings, so naturally the windows were set 7 or so feet off the floor. But one of the windows was positioned in a corner, conveniently located near a ledge jutting out of the adjacent wall. And it just so happened that the ledge faced a fireplace with a pretty deep mantel. So my sister and
lokiect decided they would shut the window for me, by climbing the mantel and jumping to the ledge.
After they pushed themselves up onto the mantel, I realized my perspective had shifted such that I was looking down from where they were, and I saw myself standing on the floor. I seemed to be asking my sister if she wanted me to support her feet, so she could just step across to the ledge. But then I apparently changed my mind and approached the window myself. And somehow, by the physics only possible in the realm of dreams, I grabbed ahold of the window pane and slid it shut.
