The dream had a variant on another night where the dream exile is again looking in deep winter through a window into a firelit room at nightfall, but the room is in a stone-built villa on the outskirts of one of the remotest towns on the Pentland Firth. A green-walled drawing room with watercolours of upland landscapes in solid frames. Substantial furniture, a standard lamp by an armchair and a sense, in the nightmare, that this has been home for years. The library book on the arm of the chair is a crime story set in London. It is the only book in the town library that even mentions the native metropolis of the dreamer, who lives tormented by the noise of the wind from the northern isles across the sea, with the exile’s defining sense that his real life is taking place elsewhere, that he has become his own ghost, haunting the wrong place.
