"The Door in the Wall." A Short Story about Choices by H.G. Wells

H.G. Wells' "The Door in the Wall" recounts the story of Lionel Wallace, who discovers a mysterious green door in a white wall as a child, leading to an enchanted garden that offers him an escape from his mundane existence. This garden is a place of surreal beauty and joy, filled with wonderous creatures and experiences that deeply impact him. Throughout his life, Wallace encounters the door several times but often finds reasons not to enter, prioritizing his career and societal expectations over the magical allure of the garden. The tale explores the theme of lost opportunities and the conflict between the practical demands of reality and the pursuit of one’s deepest desires.

I've seen such a living book in my own dreams... There were two books, titled Santos and Thantos.

In ordinary space is the gates to the extraordinary.
The Unseen Beings are beyond imagination, but the knowledge of the spiritual realms can be recalled in a filtered way.
Tannhäuser bears some resemblance to this story,
Often, the entrances must combine physical and mental states.

So what i've learned is that apparently there's a secret garden within us all.

This is a story of a NDE. Little of them did they know back then
