I was with two other women in a church graveyard, standing around an open grave. The first woman pushed the second woman into the grave, and the second woman laughed up at us because she thought it was funny. We thought it was funny too, and laughed with each other. Then the first woman disappeared. I looked down into the grave again, and saw that the second woman had turned into a skeleton which was laying on a rusty metal grate. I peered through the earth into the grave next to hers, and saw endless skeletons on rusty grates stacked on top of each other, seeming to go down into the earth forever. The whole thing took place on a really nice sunny day, in the graveyard of a church that looked like a little jewel box in the distance.

I did not dream about the interior of the church. But as I was recreating the scene in Tilt Brush, my conscious mind wanted to know what was inside. A standard church setting didn’t feel right, and eventually I landed on this mystical tree growing out of the same dirt from the grave sites.

I also created a dream drawing of this dream, which you can find here.
