It did not occur to me during the dream that the setting was in Heaven. Wonderfully, I had the ability of flying, I was in a well appointed mansion. The ceilings were 4 meters high. Apparently, I was in the right house, a large portion of the rooms were built out as a library, great care was given to organization and decoration.
In the dream I had a comforting awareness of my relationship with my Earthly father. He was in the dream, too, we talked a couple of times in passing as we both attended to our own errands. Second awareness, this place might be my home, less certain.
Later that day, when I was awake, I realized the contentment and connectedness that I felt was a strong metaphor for my Christian belief in afterlife.
