Porous Walls, remote dream by Sandy

I am in the living room of my parents' former house. It is raining outside. My maternal uncle and I walk into the room. All over the walls water is seeping through the plaster in spots - there is no wallpaper, just plain plaster. I say something about repairing the plaster, and he says it would be easier and less expensive to dry wall over it. I wonder if my dad would do this, and I think that it will make the room a little smaller, but it seems like a good way to solidify the porous walls.
