I can certainly relate to this. I used to read fairy stories about secret places in the forest, and of course the Narnia series where the characters go through the wardrobe to whole new world.
I can even recall reading the Thomas Covenant series which is not really a secret door, but he is transported to another reality.
Perhaps it comes from a reality that a world of riches does live just beyond our senses. Maybe one day we WILL find it. :-D
