The Dream

I and a friend
had escaped
from where we lived.

We told the police
there was a body
buried
in my greenhouse.

The victim
was our flatmate’s.

For some reason,
I felt
I had something
to do with it.

The Meaning

the greenhouse
The greenhouse is typically a space of growth, cultivation, healing. Something has been hidden under my growth work.

the flatmate
The flatmate is another version or aspect of me.

the escape
I’m finally telling someone about something long buried.

responsibility
The subconscious asks: “What have you tolerated too long? What have you known and stayed quiet about?”

What Lingers…

What if growth has been quietly wrapping itself around what was never meant to stay?

What if unearthing isn’t destruction, but the first honest act of healing?

Marginalia

I’d recently rekindled my ancestry research after dreaming about my great-grandmother, Cleopatra. But by this point, I’d shelved it again—worried I was just procrastinating with side quests.

Then came this dream.

Literal bodies, buried beneath the space where we grow our nourishment.

A week later, I dreamt of The House That Contains Everything.

Another nudge.

There’s more to know.
