Alright gents, tell us all your sustaining daydream. What would your personal world be like? Where would you live? How would you live? How would you dress? Foods you would have etc etc. This is YOUR daydream so tell it how it is. I will attempt to start the show here, and we can all blame Earcutter for pushing me into starting this thread.

My little fantasy world is set somewhere where I am surrounded by a mixture of dense wooded land and some open pasture land with rolling hills. There's a fresh water stream flowing from a good water source, either a spring or coming from distant mountains. The water is cool and clear. I have a small cabin inside the edge of the woods. Just one room for my bed, a table and a couple of chairs, a fireplace with a mantle. From the pegs set into the walls hang my rifles and swords when not being carried or worn. I have a small yard and stable area for my horse. Two dogs live with me. Rhodesian ridgebacks most likely.
I have a small vegetable plot and I hunt for my meat, taking only what I need as I need it. Preserving what I don't have an immediate use for. I am financially sustained by my great prowess as a writer and also by trading my leather work from the hides of animals I've hunted. However my lifestyle does not call for me to rely on money, and anyway, the nearest populated area is a bloody long way away.
I like to while away my downtime reading, or just lying out on a nearby hillside near the stream, and watching the clouds drift by across the cobalt blue sky, listening to the birds in the trees and the water gurgling across the stream bed.

No it may not be a realistic dream, but it's mine anyway.
