Workplace - home of dreams?

In Italy, guys in the Estonians group started asking each other about their home of dreams.

These guys dreamt of a villa full of naked girls. One of them also fancied a tower.

Eventually it was my turn. I described some of the details from a visualization that I made perhaps 7 years ago. A three-storeyed building in the forest. It has mechanics and electronics labs on the first floor. There's a tower with a telescope. The living room has walls made of glass. Then there's a dome cinema on top of the building.

• The other guys: "Dude, you're working there!"
• Me: "What? No.. Wait a minute .. you're right."
• The other guys: "One day you'll walk up to the director, open a briefcase full of money and say: 'It's my home now. You can continue your work.' and then walk around like a boss in pijamas or something."

I hadn't realized the similarity before. But indeed, I'm working in an observatory that was renovated a couple of years ago. It's close to the forest, it has a tower, it has three storeys, it has mechanics and electronics labs on the first floor. On the roof, there's a dome .. no cinema, though. Also, the design of the atrium is very very similar to what I had in mind for the living room. The only difference is that in the observatory atrium, there's a satellite model hanging from the roof. In the observatory, the bedroom is on the 3rd floor. In my visualization, it was on the second. In my visualization there was a cellar floor also, with sunlight mirrors at window places - this is also missing at the observatory. Also, the exterior design is pretty much the same - same colors, similar ribs for details.

And several years ago I occasionally made jokes about sleeping at work without going home for the night.
