Pianos in the Sky
Recurrent dreams before 1948 by an Illinois woman
"I used to tell the children I'd had my 'lovely dream' again. My heart's desire was a new piano, as hopeless as owning a yacht.
The dream: a huge space in the air divided into rooms, each holding a wonderful piano. I ran from one to another, playing on each, so thrilled to play again after seventeen years. Then at last I saw a special one. This one must be mine. No other would do!"[These recurring dreams were before 1948 and before the family moved to Illinois.]
"In Illinois, on October 15, 1948, my daughter was sent on a high-school project working on Saturdays at the Conservatory of Music. I went there to meet her after work. Here, seven hundred miles from where I had the dreams, is the huge space in the air, an entire second floor. There are nine studios for piano, voice, dancing--each with a piano. I tried them all. One I wanted so much. A spinet-type Wurlitzer.
"The owner of the school is buying one wholesale for me as a special favor."
