A Girl's Life

I don't know if I can describe this dream accurately. It had a narrator, a girl's voice. She was describing life as she was growing up. It was set in the era just before the war right after the depression. As she was describing her life, I was seeing it all. It was very, very detailed and even had little anecdotes about certain people in the small town she lived in and things like that. There was a large area of trees near her home which she called a "forest" but it wasn't quite that large. She hated going through it, because to her, it was very, very dark. But I took a closer look and it wasn't that dark inside. There was just so much detail in the dream and in her account of her daily life, it was like reading a book but living it at the same time.
