The Plant That Watched Me Dream


Last night, I dreamed again about my monstera - the one by my bedroom window. It wasn’t just a dream. It felt like the plant was alive, more aware than anything else in the room.


I remember waking up, the moonlight pale and heavy, slicing through the leaves. The shadows on the wall looked like fingers - long, slow-moving fingers. I could swear they were shifting even when the air was still.


Every night for the past week, the same thing happened. The plant inched closer. Not in a way I could see - but when I woke up, the pot seemed to have moved slightly, closer to the bed.


In last night’s dream, I saw myself sleeping - and behind me, the monstera leaned forward, its leaves spreading wide like a whispering mouth. The sound was faint… like soft breathing. Then it whispered my name. Not loud. Just enough for my pulse to spike.


I woke up gasping - and there it was again. One leaf touching my pillow. Dew dripping like cold sweat. I stared at it, frozen, until sunrise.


In the morning, I laughed at myself. Maybe I’m overwatering it. Maybe my dreams are playing tricks. But as I watered it again today… I noticed something strange.


The roots weren’t white anymore. They looked like veins. Human veins. And one of them pulsed.


Now I don’t sleep with my plant in the same room. But sometimes, at 3 a.m., I still hear the faint sound of leaves brushing against the window - as if asking to come back in.
