Symbolic reading

This symbolizes knowledge, history, or a past self that has been allowed to become overgrown or neglected. The complexity of the past is still present, but it is obscured by the passage of time.

Practical reading

You may be unconsciously resisting or needing to revisit a complex issue from the past. The dream suggests that the roots of this issue are still alive and need to be cleared or tended to, rather than simply forgotten.

Psychology explanation

The contrast between the structured acanthus and the wild growth mirrors the tension between order and entropy. The subconscious is urging you to excavate the valuable, detailed knowledge (the scroll) before the growth completely consumes the memory of it.
