Part 1: The Renovation

The Dream

My house —
so big.
So many
front doors.
It’s perfect
to split.

Everything
needs renovating.
It’s such a
disaster.

When it’s done,
I’ll rent the rooms
to refugees.
It’ll be safe
here.

The Meaning

house
It’s back. This time in ruins.

door
Access points to my inner world. More than one way in or out. I’m open.

renovation
The interior is chaos, but I’m not giving up. I’m ready to rebuild from scratch — not patch over. What’s reborn here isn’t just for me. I want it to shelter those still seeking safety.

What Lingers…

What if inner ruin can be repurposed into refuge?

What if usefulness begins not with perfection, but with making one room ready?


Marginalia

I think I’ve already mentioned elsewhere that I only ever recall dreams that have a message for me. Because of that, I don’t remember every bit of brain fodder, and days, weeks, and months might go by before I recall again.

Sometimes the recall comes in flurries. It’s been over a month since my last ‘recalled’ dream. I’ve now started my new herbal course and already feel confident that this was meant to be the way forward.

The last time I dreamed of my house in The House That Contains Everything, I accepted all the rooms in it, even those that were cold. Here I’m on with the renovations and I’m clear about why I’m renovating… It’s to be for the benefit of others.
