Blaine House

So I dreamed I was Swedenborg as a boy, experimenting with his powers for the first few times. His/my father kept trying to stop or interrupt me so I fought back. I threw a chair at him in the dining room and it hit him square in the back. Then as he was chasing me upstairs, I hit him with another one. He was so shocked each time. The setting was Blaine House. Then I locked myself in my room and began meditating.

Blaine House: This clearly shows that Blaine House simply means “my own house”. If I’m inhabiting someone else in a story and I’m to understand that I’m in his house, Blaine House becomes the setting, because that was MY house when I was growing up, and that meaning apparently goes deeper than the many homes I’ve lived in since.
