I had a strange, super vivid dream where I was back at the house where I grew up. As a kid, I spent the majority of my time outside and in the orchard and forest.

It was foggy and I walked up to one of the actual trees that we had in our yard growing up. There was a bleached deer skull with antlers pinned to the tree. Before I entered the orchard, I warmed the skull with fire from a lighter.

Then I went into the orchard/forest and began gathering materials for fairy houses like leaves and interesting sticks. But I never finished because I heard people on the outskirts of the orchard and got spooked and ran away.

Any thoughts on the meaning or symbolism of this dream?
