Symbol Description - Exercise III

For this exercise, I shall take three separate symbols and describe them as best as I can. I'm going to use the first of my Fragile Dreams series. There won't be any stream of consciousness writing for this exercise. But this does have to be descriptive. That is, if I were to draw or paint a picture, I'd use this information.

Kathryn:
Kathryn was wearing tan or beige clothing.
Slacks and a short sleeve dress shirt.
She was wearing glasses.
Her hair was a light brown, not a dark brown as I remembered her.
She seemed interested in looking around my apartment.
Her hair looked good.
She looked well, fit, happy and beautiful as always.
She was sitting on the couch.
She gave a good smile and we maintained eye contact.
Rapport was established with ease.
Her eyes were a brown colour.
Her wheelchair was completely absent from my dream.
The focus was entirely on her.
She was there to visit.
She didn't appear to live there.

The couch
The couch that I own is a blue loveseat with minimalist design trim.
The couch in the dream was a lighter tan then Kathryn's clothes, such that you can tell the two apart.
It was a full sized chesterfield.
There was a purple and blue flower design trim.
It looks like in good shape.
Actually, it looks new.
There wasn't any arms on the couch.
The couch that I own has a "hump" on the back.
The couch in my dream had no such "humps", but the back was fully supported.
I own four red pillows.
In the dream, there weren't any pillows on the couch, except for the three "pillows" that lined the back of the couch.
My couch has a skirt covering the legs.
The couch in the dream has no such skirt.
The couch in the dream has short rounded legs, giving it low ground clearance.
My couch isn't the world's most comfortable couch.
The one in my dream does look very comfy.

The apartment
Looking towards Kathryn, my apartment (setting of the dream) is mapped as thus:
To the front, going to the far left, and turning to the right is the entrance way.
To the front, going to the far left, and making a right before the entrance way is the screened porch.
To the front and the right is the living room.
To the front and the left is the kitchen area with a dining bar.
There is no kitchen table.
Behind me and on my left is the bathroom.
Directly behind me is my bedroom.
The bathroom, bedroom, screened porch and entrance way were not visible in my dream, but I knew they were there.
The floor was clean.
There was a heavy sheet of plastic underneath the couch.
There were sandals beside the couch.
The sandals were a dark oak/brown color. They look well worn.
I own three barstools, a chair and a plant.
None were present in the dream.
My dining bar is cluttered.
It wasn't in my dream.
My entertainment center was more closer to the hallway in my dream.
I own a fibreboard entertainment center.
In the dream the entertainment center was made out of metal.
Even the speakers were on the metal entertainment center.
I had a separate stand for my DVDs.
In the dream I didn't see any DVDs or movies of any kind.
I don't recall the TV being on.
The room was pretty quiet.
I usually have the screen porch open for my cats.
In the dream the screen porch was closed and I don't recall seeing any cats.
Everything else looked like it should be.
Except the apartment felt bigger than it was supposed to be.
It was night. About 9:00pm.
I could tell because it was dark outside.
There were clocks but I didn't bother looking at the time.
