>I wonder what is symbolic of the attic versus the basement?
I know, for me, and I've never had a 'real' attic - just the storage kind that you don't spend time in really - but our basements were always sort of cold, dark and dank. Moist, and pretty depressing. But when I think of my ideal 'attic' - I see a room with warm yellow sunlight streaming through the window - a dormer window with a windowseat. Yellow flowery curtains, and a hardwood floor. Old trunks, perhaps a desk, a place that kids would enjoy playing dress-up and where I can sit and read and look out over the countryside (as a house with an attic like this could never be in a city) and just think or journal.
I've always always wanted a room like that. Maybe I'll get to have one someday?
