...From their mutual dream (the first?) which is worth
examining a little more closely. Not so much interested
in the narrative agency, although that, too, has become 
quite warped, bending in on itself to include both dreamers,
but, with their appreciation of Hugh Crawford's comment:

    In the Forest... ev'ryone comes 'round in a
    circle (&etc)

This seems to echo Kekule's dream of the ouroboros all over 
again: feedback and resonance, the serpent with tail in mouth, 
as evidenced by:

    down in your own shit. 

And, the comments just prior to these regarding the possibility,
at least, of an outside.

Text and context? The reader as a wood-borer? Life as Fiction?

Whole lotta resonances.
