in my dreams I encountered an unknown, somewhat solid substance known only as “Mouse Milk,” and was so vexed by its identity that the mystery has followed me into the waking hours

things I know to be true about mouse milk:

*I typically encountered it in solid, fist sized lumps, wrapped in aluminum foil. Through the foil it felt soft, giving like soft wax
*For this reason, I know it to not literally be milk, of any sort. it was also not talked about as though its name was strictly literal
*It was not common, (and my dream self had not heard of it previously), but not so uncommon as to be laboriously difficult to find, nor prohibitively expensive

things I believe to be true about mouse milk but am unsure of:

*It is pale or off-white in color. I am unsure whether my dream self saw it or merely imagined they did. It could also be the case it was indeed a purer, milkier white, but was tinged by the Grey of Dreams
*I believe its origin is inside walls, where it is extracted by those that know about it (perhaps people with a musine affinity?) and wrap it in kitchen foil
*it has utilitarian purposes but I am unsure as to what those might be
*despite describing it as being soft and deforming like soft wax, i don’t believe it to have a waxy skin-feel, nor to have such a low melting point
*I had the impression of an organic substance but merely the impression

mysteries and questions about mouse milk:

*is its name merely reflective of its location and color, or does it have a more explicit connection to mice, or to milk?
*what is it used for?
*what is its true origin?
*what is its true nature/composition?
