Last night I had a dream,

I was in my house with my grandmother.

We toured the rooms looking for objects,

things that belonged to her.

Her room was not,

Less her objects.

We wandered around a lot

and we couldn’t find anything.

It was very strange,

after a while searching and searching,

I realized and said:

“YOU ARE DEAD, FOR THAT REASON THERE IS NOTHING YOURS”
