I often have dreams of finding extra rooms in my house. I wake up confused about that extra bathroom, and why has it never been cleaned? Or that extra guest room, and why have I never changed the sheets on the bed?
The second one reminds me of an I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again monologue where Graeme Garden informs the audience that radio no longer exists and hasn't for years, and the listener has just been hallucinating shows all along. "That's not even a radio you've got there, they've stopped making radios. Go on, open it up, have a look, take the back off...it's empty, isn't it? Oh, what blind, blind fools you've been!"
I too have noticed that the most used and frequented room in the house is the kitchen. It is difficult for it to remain empty for a moment. There is always someone, who eats or cooks or cleans or has a snack and eats again and everything starts all over again…..

It's weird, isn't it? Both my wife and I have similar dreams...
Our age cries out for imagination. Thanks for this, Michael.
Thank you Brad!
"Money is a river, not a pond." I really like that.
Took me a long time to realize it.

Ha - that's funny :-)
Your post also seems to predict the Dead Internet Hypothesis

It's the heart of the home... and hearts take a lot of knocks!
