There is a big problem with your dream: stairs.

Once you hit a certain age, the stairs become an obstacle that cannot be solved. Have seen it with my grandparents and parents in normal houses. Now imagine the stairs in a lighthouse.

Come now, we've all seen some media with a form of the old chair-thing-that-goes-up-the-stair-rail trope.

This makes me think of the "The White Ship" by H.P. Lovecraft.

Very soon there's gonna be a VR for that

My dream is to be in a dusty, dark closet with a sweaty helmet on that shows me that I'm actually an awesome, old man on a lighthouse.
