The Old Hag on the Stairs

This was only a dream but it seemed so real. It took me a long time after I woke up to shake the sleepy feeling of me and bring myself back to reality. I sat up on my bed and recalled the dream with accuracy, it was something I did not want to forget.
It almost seemed that my soul went into this woman and I was living this woman’s life, while I was sleeping.
In the dream I saw a beautiful woman knocking on the door of a Victorian home. The sun was brightly shinning outside on a summer day. The woman who continued knocking on the door was in her early 20s. She appeared to be of Spanish and European decent. She had long straight brown hair and brown eyes. She had on a silk red dress with black high heels.
An old woman answered the door in her bare feet. She looked like a hag. The old woman had long grey and white hair. Her face was wrinkled like a prune. This woman appeared to be in her late 80s or 90s. She had on an old grandma’s dress on. But what was so odd about this woman was her bare feet. They were crippled looking. Yet the old woman motioned for the young woman to come into the house.
The young woman was allowed to go inside the house. The house had a brown winding staircase by the front entrance. The staircase was steep and seemed to go up several stories. The old woman started to climb the staircase with her old crippled feet. she pulled on the rail to pull her body up. The young woman grabbed the rail and climbed the stairs slowly, she asked the old woman if she needed help. The old woman said no. The young woman continued to be annoyed by the amount of time it took the old woman to climb the steep staircase, she also was concerned that the woman was too old to climb the numerous stairs.
The old woman continued to climb the stair case past cobwebs and darkened areas. The old woman’s hands were old and wrinkled. Both the old woman and the young woman continued to climb up hundreds of stairs. The young woman had on red nail polish and she slowly grabbed the brown railing and climbed the steep staircase. Finally they reached the top and the old woman told the young woman to wait.
A the top of the stairs was a table with jewels on it.  On the table were rubies, diamonds and pearls. The old woman told the young woman the jewels were for her.
The young woman had on red lipstick to match her red dress. The young woman smiled. The old woman said. “This jewelry is yours just wait for the man.”
The young woman smiled and sat down on the chair and waited for the man. Then suddenly the man appeared at the top of the stairs. The young woman saw the man a man. The man seemed to be in his early 40s with brown hair. The man was at the top of the stairs. He had on a brown expensive suit on and had on black polished shoes. The man had brown eyes and brown hair.
The old hag continued to stand back and watch the two smiling at each other.
I woke up from the dream when the man was at the top of the stairs. I assumed the young woman was a call girl and the man at the top of the stairs was a businessman. I took the old hag as someone who took care of the Victorian house. She was a caretaker of the estate.
I woke up wondering if situations like this really happen in homes of rich businessmen.
