Porch
An outside-but-covered space at the front of the house — a half-place between the public street and the private interior.
A porch in a dream is the dream's image of a half-place between the public street and the private interior. The porch is open enough for the neighbours to see, covered enough to be partway home. The dream brings the porch when something in your life — a semi-public role, a friendship that is closer than acquaintance and not yet inside-house, a habit of being seen at the edge of your own life — is currently being lived in that intermediate register. A porch sat on in the evening with a neighbour is the dream affirming the half-place. A porch occupied as a permanent residence, with the interior of the house unused, is the dream noting that the inside of your life has been abandoned in favour of the constantly visible edge.
