Tree Trees
The tree depicts the living structure of yourself or another person. In particular it shows not only your past in the condition of its roots and trunk, but also what you have grown into and what your possibilities or potential are. It is what has grown from the past into the present. Its roots show your connection with your physical body and the earth, your family background and influences, and cultural roots; its trunk the way you direct the energies of your being – growth, sex, thought, emotion. The branches are the abilities, directions and many facets you develop in life – varied and yet all connected in the common life process of your being. The tree can also symbolise new growth, stages of life and ageing, with its spring leaves and blossom, then the falling leaves. The top of the tree, or the end of the branches are your aspirations, the growing vulnerable tip of your personal growth and spiritual realisation.
From this point of view, the leaves may represent your personal life, this particular life with its many activities and desires, that may fall off the tree – die – but what gave it life continues to exist. The leaf may indicate something in you that is living, growing, or outworn (depending on colour of leaf). This may be part of your thinking or feeling. You can also be blown like a leaf, suggesting separation from your roots and main growth; or you can take a leaf from someone’s notebook, thus following their example or idea.
The roots depict your connection with the earth through food, air and water, as well as your psychological roots in family and culture. Earth is made up of everything that has died and so becomes soil. In the cycles of life things live and then die. In death they become important fertiliser and nutrients for what is growing. In human life earth represents all that our forebears left us from their lives – our inheritance. It has all been purified by death and so is worth our roots feeding from it.
The trunk shows your body and what you have developed in your life, the main thrust of your expression. The tree can also depict new growth, the stages of life and ageing, with its spring leaves and blossom, then the falling leaves. The top of the tree, or the end of the branches, are your aspirations, the growing vulnerable tip of your personal growth and spiritual realisation. From this point of view, the leaves may represent your personal life, this particular life with its many activities and desires, that may fall off the tree – die – but what gave you life continues to exist. The leaf may indicate something in you that is living, growing, or outworn (depending on colour of leaf). This may be part of your thinking or feeling. You can also be blown like a leaf, suggesting separation from your roots and main growth; or you can take a leaf from someone’s notebook, thus following their example or idea.
The tree may also at times represent a place of safety or refuge, as when we climb it to escape. In fact, the tree is such an enormously deep symbol it depicts your whole life, as well as the urge that pushes you into being and growth. It depicts the force or process which is behind all other life forms – but seen as it expresses in your personal existence. See Ancestors
The seeds or flowers are your own fruition, the expression of what is deeply your own unique self manifesting creatively. They are also your reproduction as a parent with children or ideas or influences in the lives of others.
Dead wood represent parts of you that no longer carry life and energy, perhaps ideas or opinions that you no longer hold.
The lightning struck tree represent sudden change, even death. The tree may also at times represent a place of safety or refuge, as when we climb it to escape. The tree is our whole life, the urge which pushes us into being and growth. It depicts the force or process which is behind all other life forms – but seen as it expresses in our personal existence.
The phrase ‘family tree’ describes a way the unconscious uses the image of a tree to represent something that is an internal reality. Within the unconscious there is an awareness that our present personality is built upon the lives and character of our forebears. So our face may be presented on the top or surface of the tree, but behind our face, or on lower branches, or in the trunk, lie the lives of our ancestors stretching back throughout the ages.
In some old manuscripts pictures show a man lying on the ground and his penis growing into a tree, with fruits, birds, and perhaps people in its protective shade. This illustrates how ones personal life energy can branch out from its source in the basic drives, and become creativity, fruitfulness, something given to others. The tree can also represent the spine, and the different levels of human experience – physical, sensual, sexual, hungers, emotions, relatedness, communication, thought, self awareness.
Example: In the dream I was looking at a very large and old tree. I wondered if I could climb it but couldn’t see any way up it. But I noticed a large area without any bark, like an old wound, and I thought that area would become rotten and so the tree would become hollow and offer shelter to animals and humans. Then I walked around the back of the tree and saw that the bark was like thick cables about 6-8 inches wide. I could then see a fairly easy way to climb the tree. So I climbed up and the top of the tree was like a massive bell shape made by the branches, like a huge flower, a crocus shape. And it was light and colourful. Suddenly I saw a spirit, a beautiful female. It was the spirit of the tree. At this point I was semi awake, and I wanted to hold the beautiful spirit, but realised that the tree was a representation of my life, and so was the spirit of the tree. The spirit sat on me in a sexual position, so I was lying on my back and she was upright. She slowly took me into her, I mean the whole me, as if she was sucking my whole body into her. There was no sexual movement as this happened. Then I realised that I had to die because she wanted to take all the experience of my life and endeavour into her and fertilise herself to form a baby. So I was ready to let go and watched her form a new baby, a mixture of her and me. See The Sacred Tree In Dreams And Myths
A wood or collection of trees: The natural forces in your own being, therefore ones connection with or awareness of the unconscious; other people’s personal growth and connection with self. The wood also indicates allowing yourself to be natural, to express what is innate in you, and for the mind and emotions to move in their own way. Walking in a wood might therefore suggest a feeling of relaxation, but it can also mean delving within your deeper feelings and mind – your unconscious – exploring your inner life.
Birch or Silver birch: The birch symbolises growth, renewal, stability, initiation and adaptability because it is highly adaptive and able to sustain harsh conditions with casual indifference. Birches are also associated with the Tír na nÓg, the land of the dead and the Sidhe, in Gaelic folklore, and as such frequently appear in Scottish, Irish, and English folksongs and ballads in association with death, or fairies, or returning from the grave. The leaves of the silver birch tree are used in the festival of St George, held in Novosej and other villages in Albania. (Sidhe are Irish earthen mounds, which in Irish folklore and mythology are believed to be the home of the Aos Sí (the people of the mounds))
Birch bark played a key role in the manufacture of canoes for transportation, wigwams for shelter, and a host of useful implements made by the many tribes and nations of the Northeast. Indians believe that the mist emitted from birch tree leaves placed upon heated rocks in a sweat lodge helps purify the body; the tree’s branches, when tied together and then used to lash the body, result in the removal of poisons. Because of the prolonged existence of ancient birch trees on Earth, American Indians maintain that these trees have much to offer humans.
Branches: Members of your family; directions or possibilities in your life. Or the end of the branches are your aspirations, the growing vulnerable tip of your personal growth and spiritual realisation.
Burnt tree:If this is just an area of the tree or trunk, it shows painful events and the mark they have left on you, perhaps from early in your life. If the hole tree is burnt it shows great difficulties or the death of someone.
Christmas tree or other evergreen: The eternal or unchanging aspect of your transitory experience.
Climbing a tree: Exploring or becoming aware of the directions and facets of your personal growth; using your skills or strength to get away from anxiety or danger, such as you do when climbing to get away from a dangerous animal.
Cutting down: Could be that you are getting rid of old influences in your life, or clearing space. It depends on what attitude is behind the cutting. Are you seeking wood to burn, to build with, or just for devilment.
Dead branch: A direction that no longer has life or motivation in it; a member of your family dying or leaving you.
Dead tree: Past way of life; something which was full of life for you in the past, but is now dead; dead relative.
Falling fallen or crashing down tree: Sense of threat to your identity; this can often suggest a big change in the way you express yourself. It is a breaking down of the influences you lived from in the past, perhaps because your childhood set in place painful or negative influences, or it could suggest the loss or death of a relative or someone close to you. It can also sometimes shown the death of someone. When trees are old or storm blow in our life trees are felled by wind or weather. But in some dreams it may suggest making more space around by the dead trees falling.
Flowering tree: Fertility; femininity.
Human or animal hung on tree: Personal sacrifice; the death of some part of self so further growth can occur – death of dependence so independence can arise; surrender; the pains and struggles, the sense of crucifixion occurring in the maturing process, so the pains and suffering of life in the body.
Leaves and tree tip: The tip is the living, growing part of you. The part that is still vulnerable because of its newness, or outworn (depending on colour of leaf) part of your thinking or feeling. leaves, well you can also be blown like a leaf, suggesting separation from your roots and main growth; or you can take a leaf from someone’s notebook, thus following their example or idea. The leaves as a whole, if falling, can represent the end of your a period of your life, or can be the passing ego that dies, but leaves the trunk, the process that gave life. See Death of Ego
Roots: Your connection with the past, with your family heritage or influences; the things you are tied to by necessity or love; your fundamental physical characteristics as they express in your personality; the aspects of your culture or family ties that you particularly identify with or find connection with.
Roots in dreams represent the hidden and often unconscious links that reach deep into our body and its long past. For our body is an outcrop of the life that began when life began on this earth, and it carries with it ancient memories. The dream roots give us entrance into that long past and what it brings with it into our life today. See The Conjuring Trick
The root can sometimes indicate the ‘root’ of your biological potential/energy – the root centre. As such it shows your undifferentiated self – the you rather like an energy, like electricity. that is invisible until it flows into an apparatus/body, which enables it to show part of its enormous potential – movement, feelings, self consciousness, etc.
Tree trunk: Your family background and connections; What you have developed or grown from. Any injury to the trunk shows a traumatic event; if it is low on the trunk it indicates youth, if higher up then later in life.
Example: Dreamt that I was looking at the large plane tree at the back of our house in London. I noticed the base of the trunk was burnt internally. I pulled away bark. It looked a bit like a bees nest, but was cindered wood. Now I saw folds in the trunk of the tree showing that the tree was leaning, and I realised the cindered bark I pulled away had been supporting the tree. It would now soon fall. I saw a very clear mental image of the tree falling to the right where there was space, because straight ahead was a building it would crush. The tree then began to fall exactly where I had visualised. I now saw the top of the trunk base cut clean.
The dreamer explored their dream and said: The tree is that which has grown from the past into the present. When you discover it is burnt at the base, this means you begin to see that deep within, at the foundations of this lifetime, much has been destroyed in you.
The burnt wood means that much which was to have been expressed as growth was turned inward and consumed the inner life. The burning was realised as your loneliness, your fear of relating, and the pain of living within yourself. When the tree fell, this is the part of you built upon those problems falling away. Tree threatening to fall on building is perhaps having a medical career, but have gone in another direction, against something being built. The burn is the debt on the hands. It is in my hands what I do.
Uprooted tree: It is mostly about your inner world so your every day life has been uprooted – to remove a person from their home or usual environment. See The Inner World
So it can indicate either a serious psychological injury which can lay you low; or that you are living a life that does not connect with your real or core self. See Core
Idioms: Top of the tree; family tree; barking up the wrong tree; tree of knowledge; dead wood; can’t see the trees for the wood.
See: Sacred Tree in Dreams and Myth; death and rebirth, and archetypes of the self ; Individuation; Cross, Wood.
Comments
Just now I was awoken by a nightmare of falling trees and landscape. The scary parts were more memorable. I think I had been in a home protecting a child. I then went out walking in a neighborhood and saw trees in the distance chopped or fallen down and completely blocking the road. I walked on to see what appeared to be familiar lakes and ponds that were drying up and causing more trees to fall down. Next, I moved on to see houses collapsing down hill and falling on top of each other, ejecting people and crushing them. I was too scared to look and turned my vision away. In my dream, I started crying and someone accused me of appearing to laugh at the scene. Realizing I couldn’t help them because it was an active situation and too dangerous, I walked up the street to a view of the ocean. At first my feet slipped in the sand, but then I became stable and climber higher to watch the waves roll in and the light reflect off the water. I felt peace. Some of these maybun deeper, but I had just been to Hawaii and I feel like the thought and news of the erupting volcano may have played a part in this visualization.
Ashley – An earthquake, like tsunamis, are the result of deep natural processes taking place in the earth. But as human beings, most of us live as if we are somehow not a part of nature or the earth. Yet we are products of natural processes, creatures of and from the earth and our conscious self is a tiny little bit of consciousness largely cut off from its deeps.
These deeps are shown in dreams often depict earthquakes, floods, huge waves and floods that take place in our own nature as creatures of the earth. They depict huge changes that are taking place within us, for each of us is immersed in a ‘river’ of constant change. If you think about it you have been carried, pushed, impelled by this current as you were moved through babyhood, childhood, teenage and adulthood, and there are more stages of growth beyond adulthood. And as we passed through these changes we died to our old self in order to change to the new. It is the current of Life. This current then carries us on through old age and through the gates of death. All the time we are faced by decisions, and each decision directs us on a different path, helping to create our future. And this is a force of growth and change.
So as far as I can see, you are passing through a great period of change in you life, probably needing you to let go of old values and learn new things. For the collapsing houses in dreams represent old ways of life that are no longer of use to you. When you climbed higher you achieved a wider view of your situation and felt peace.
Dreams take place in a very deep part of our nature, and are like seeds that take time to reach the surface, so it will take time for the changes you are going through to complete.

I dreamt beautiful tree with yellow leaves. On this tree lots of things were hanging. It seemed happy tree. But a man who I know came and started to cut a tree into the woods. He cut the tree into the woods and then started to sell the woods. I was walking with him in the city streets in the dark.it felt poverty with him.
Cathy – The beautiful tree is an image of you as dreams see you – from roots to the many things hanging from you – the gifts or maybe abilities you have.
Unfortunately you have a negative relationship with maleness or a male that is so critical it cuts you down. Was it your father who never recognised your beauty, or some other male?
If you recognise this influence in your life you can move beyond it. Perhaps by using https://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/secrets-power-dreaming/ or https://dreamhawk.com/approaches-to-being/opening-to-life/
I dreamt of the tree from Pocahontas but this tree was not a willow but an oak tree. It was night & I knew it was sleeping but I still wanted to talk with this tree. I remember seeing fireflies all around & I was on a hill. This was the only tree on the hill & it wasn’t that old of a tree, maybe 200 years old. Its trunk was quite large for it’s size & I remember pulling light out of nowhere(I was holding this energy of light that I made appear) & I put my hands into the trunk(I could go through it without damaging it) & I placed the light inside the trunk so the tree would illuminate. It sparkled rather than glowed & I remember I just waited there for the sun rise, so I would be present for when the tree awoke.
Laura – The Native American race, the Tree on a Hill in dreams are a whole book of meaning. I will give you a taste of it.
The Native American connection, especially with Pocahontas is about your inner wisdom; self acceptance and wisdom based on this awareness of ones links with the nature, its animals and the intuition or wisdom of the irrational or unconscious. It can represent realisation of tribal wisdom and the link with intuitive initiations into stages of growth. Remember, just a taste.
The tree is a huge symbol of your whole growth. As you must have read – it shows not only your past in the condition of its roots and trunk, but also what you have grown into and what your possibilities or potential are. It is what has grown from the past into the present. Its roots show your connection with your physical body and the earth, your family background and influences, and cultural roots; its trunk the way you direct the energies of your being – growth, sex, thought, emotion. The branches are the abilities, directions and many facets you develop in life – varied and yet all connected in the common life process of your being. The tree can also symbolise new growth, stages of life and ageing, with its spring leaves and blossom, then the falling leaves. The top of the tree or the end of the branches are your aspirations, the growing vulnerable tip of your personal growth and spiritual realisation.
The hill you have to use effort to climb and show that you must have in your life made efforts to understand who you are and where you came from. And those efforts have enabled you to contact the light, the energy of your Life. See https://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/energy-sex-and-dreams/
But dream images are like icons on a computer screen –
You have to ‘click’ on your dream images to make them come alive. Thinking about them doesn’t work. You need to open yourself to the magic of them. To make them into the wonderful gateways they are you may have to learn certain skills, such as https://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/acting-on-your-dream/#BeingPerson
But as your dream shows, the tree/you are still asleep and are ready to be awakened. See https://dreamhawk.com/inner-life/this-is-the-time-of-the-quickening/

Could you help?
I dreamed I was at a work event, and I lay down on the ground to rest, and looked out into the garden, which was the garden in the house where I grew up. There was a storm and the tree (a beautiful blossom tree that I had loved) fell down. It had split in two long ago, and I wanted everyone to know that I knew it, that I had seen it growing and changing. There was little blossom however now and autumn leaves had been growing on it.
A small part of the tree was still standing, but it would be up to its current owners to decide what to do with it. I shouldn’t really have been there because it wasn’t my house any more. I wanted to find my mum, because she knew the tree too and would understand.
I was so sad, I woke up crying. I still feel sad now.

Rachel – Lying down on the ground shows you getting in touch with your basic natural self. That led you to realise that an event that happened when you were young caused a split on your development. You must have felt as if you had been knocked over when that took place.
That led you to realise your own inner growth and blossoming and your beauty. A small part of the tree was still standing, and the split in your development may be what led you to believe that it was no longer your house/no longer you.
Such splits are fairly common; a bad childhood experience is often the cause, but everything you dream about is you, because all the people, animals, places you see in your dreams, are simply your own feelings, fears, hopes and wonder projected onto the screen of your sleeping mind as images. So as it is your tree you can heal your split. You can do this by imagining watering and loving the tree and its blossoms. Sit with it sometimes – this may sound strange by the tree represents your personal growth and unfoldment, and so it is good to give yourself time and care.

I had a dream I was back outside my childhood house and the tree in the back had some one inside that turned out to be my significant other, he took the form of a person but knew it would only be for a short time, we spent as much time together as we could and he mentioned when he turned back he would feel nothing and suffer knowing he loved me and would be unable to do anything about it.

Chrissy – In dreams we have the ability to recall every moment of your history from conception onwards – in fact no plant or tree grows from a dead seed, and each living seed carries within it all the past gathered from all its forebears. So, the seed in your mother’s womb is as old and even older than human kind, and you carry that wisdom in you.
So your childhood house has taken you back to what you learnt or were aware of at that age. It seems that in fact at that time you were aware of the tree near the house. In dreams the tree such as you described represents your life, or more clearly what has grown in your life. Read http://dreamhawk.com/dream-dictionary/tree-trees/
But your dream has so much insight for it sees the intelligence or person inside the tree. Of course it is your life the tree represents, but because we are all of us dual beings, the person you met is your dual self, not an outer figure. See http://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/archetype-of-the-animus-the-male-in-the-female
Example: I climbed up and the top of the tree was like a massive bell of a flower, like a crocus shape. And it was light and colourful. Suddenly I saw a spirit, a beautiful female. It was the spirit of the tree. At this point I was semi awake, and I wanted to hold the beautiful spirit, but realised that the tree was a representation of my life, and so was the spirit of the tree. The spirit sat on me in a sexual position, so I was lying on my back and she was upright. She slowly took me into her, I mean the whole me, as if she was sucking my whole body into her, it was done without any movements. I realised that I had to die because she wanted to take all my experience of life and endeavour into her and fertilise herself to form a baby. So, I was ready to die and watched her form a new baby, a mixture of her and me.
He turned back because he was the spirit of the tree, not an external person, and so had to carry on as the essence of your life – until perhaps you could express the love between you in the waling world. See http://dreamhawk.com/approaches-to-being/opening-to-life/
Dreamt of living inside of a tree. Inside the tree was beautiful with fine crystals etc.
I am in front of a large auburn horse, and trying to gently place a branch with leaves upon its back. I suddenly realise this is in fact a foal, and its mother is right next to it, even more enormous and auburn. I feel her disapproval of me placing the branch upon her baby’s back, and so I place it upon hers which is already laden with branches, twigs and leaves. Wrestling with this one but unsure!

Sophie – All the people, animals, places you see in your dreams, are simply your own feelings, fears, hopes and wonder projected onto the screen of your sleeping mind as images.
So the foal is a newborn miracle of life born to you – a miracle of your own natural instinctive self. Please read http://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/brain-levels-and-dreams/#mammalbrain
Of course the mother doesn’t want anything placed upon the foal, for it is still new and unburdened. But you, as the more mature creature know the many burdens you carry. Although each one is light they mount up and you know the burdens of life you carry.
But you have given birth to the new dream creature, which if you care and love it, will grow into your own ability to live without the burdens – that is a gift dreams can give you.
Hi,
I dreamed of a very tall tree wrapped with long pink shaped tube like flowers around the tree. The covering grows from the base, very fast. The site is mesmerising and I don`t think that type of tree exists in this world. What does this dream indicate?
I dreamed of a huge trunk tree that was split and hollow. I watched as a tornado behind the tree and the tree kept getting hit by lightening.
It took place back in a town I grew up in.
I had a Gollum type character with me no one could see. I asked him to go into the tree to find something. He went in to the tree hesitantly because something mean he knew was inside.
The tree had many passages and rooms for Gollum to go back into and search. He was adamant I shouldn’t go into the tree to because of the mean thing hurting me severely if I did.
There were 2 other tornadoes in the distant. I had to travel around them to reach a cave I needed to go into. I was warned that you don’t want to find that cave by someone I used to know who lived near the cave.

Tony
Jason – You, like many people, have mixed up outer things like tornadoes, with what they are in dreams, because in dreams its images are not like real life, because a dream is nothing like outer life where things could hurt you, but is an image like on a cinema screen that even if a gun is pointed at you and fired it can do no damage – except if you run in fear; so all the things that scare you are simply your own fears projected onto the screen of your sleeping mind.
Your Gollum character is a creation of your own anxiety. Tornadoes in dreams represent tremendous mental or emotional energy release, feeling or fear as if it might overwhelm you; and lightening may represent sudden events and fear of losing someone.
The warning about the cave suggests you are frightened of going deeper into your mind because in fact you are a huge being that is mostly unconscious, and id dreams we often find this large self by entering a cave. The human personality – the You that you call yourself, with a name, is only a tiny thing. It is moved and tossed around by all manner of drives, ambitions, emotions, fears, temptations, worries, love and desire with its pains and hopes. But we have to remember that having a personality with self awareness is a very new thing and has only existed for a short time. Before that we were like animals that lived only in the Life Will – what we usually call instincts. So the development of self awareness was an immense step, and left us very vulnerable, and still does.
Many people as their awareness reaches beyond what they feel are their normal self feel scared. Such resistances cause us to create awful dreams and fears as a means of avoiding our own inner world and its wonders.
I had a dream of trees with human face and half body of human figure and we’re roots to the upper body to the ground, I requested Love, happiness and Good life…it requested only a cold drink which can be referred to water. What does that mean?
Joseph – Your interesting dream shows you starting to realise your deep connection with all life. In dreams our awareness includes all of our experience. Think about it, your awareness is a tiny thing, like a table tennis ball floating on a huge ocean. No plant or tree grows from a dead seed, and each living seed carries within it all the past gathered from all its forebears. So, the seed in your mother’s womb is as old, and even older than human kind, and you carry that wisdom in you. That is a massive background to your existence, most of it you are unaware of.
Because we all evolved from single cells, and these slowly became multi celled creatures – exactly what happened as your body developed – we are all the same, and all things are conscious at their own level. So you were communicating with another life form.
But your dream also is about your own inner growth – from roots to branches.
Years ago I learnt to open to the forces of Life in me – http://dreamhawk.com/approaches-to-being/opening-to-life/ – and had the following experience.
Experimenting with this I attempted communication with a sick New Zealand tomato tree we had. It was in a large tub, well fed and watered, but had the greenfly, and was also wilting. We had sprayed, but the general debility of the plant seemed to attract the fly. I used the technique of LifeStream to see if my intuition could asses the condition of the plant. The first thing I felt was an unexpected wave of love, as if the plant was wordlessly saying thank you for caring. Then I had the sense of my consciousness meshing with the consciousness/being of the plant. My impression was that the plant was an entity, a form of life and awareness, but it did not have a focused consciousness which could formulate the idea what causes this sickness? Because I could ask the question, and because I allowed my consciousness to consider the plant, a new situation arose; the plant could be aware of itself. The difficulty of the process was that everything was direct non-verbal experience. As the experience of plant life was new to me, I had to spend some time allowing the sensations to soak in and be analysed by my rational mind. What arose out of this was the understanding that the root system of the plant needed to spread sideways, not down. We therefore put the plant in a sack, with the same earth spread thin. Within a week the greenfly had all gone, without spraying, and the plant grew strong and luxuriant.
But I want to remind you again of –
Suddenly I saw a spirit, a beautiful female. It was the spirit of the tree. At this point I was semi awake, and I wanted to hold the beautiful spirit, but realised that the tree was a representation of my life, and so was the spirit of the tree. The spirit sat on me in a sexual position, so I was lying on my back and she was upright. She slowly took me into her, I mean the whole me, as if she was sucking my whole body into her. There was no movement as this happened. Then I realised that I had to die because she wanted to take all the experience of my life and endeavour into her and fertilise herself to form a baby. So I was ready to die and watched her form a new baby, a mixture of her and me.
I dream I was a huge aok tree, as big as a tree of life. I was tall. My branches and leaves were green and healthy abd robustæ. My trunk was large as well my roots, it seemed like I was millions of years old. I could be seen from far away. Offered shelter to my children and other animals, they could play under my branches and were protected.
I have dreamt about planting small trees on a pot and every tree that i planted grows fast. It grows just in a few seconds after i planted it. Then there is one tree that i planted which died immediately. One tree was colorless. The tree was translucent and it remained small though it grows little by little. The progression of growth of that tree was so slow.

Jay – Your dream repeats and old, old story. The New Testament is not just a religious document, but is remarkable because it is about our inner life. See http://dreamhawk.com/inner-life/inner-world/#MakesInner
Behold, there went out a sower to sow: And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up. And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth: But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away. And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit. And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred. And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Planting trees is in our dream world represents your own growth of understanding your life, its roots, its unfolding, and its eventual flowering and forming seeds – what you have left in the world by your life.
The trees that grow quickly are aspects of you that are akin to the commercial world that wants immediate results, but has no connection with how Life works. The tree that dies quickly is akin to the interests we have that we feel are so important, like the enormous energy people put into showy exteriors – which has no roots in our inner life to support its growth.
The colourless tree has in it all that is an example of Life. For Life has no colour but is all colours. It has no form that can be seen, for it is all forms. It is slow to grow for it takes time to transform our everyday experience into real insight into Life itself – for we are produced by the unseen action of Life, and our satisfaction comes from expressing Life’s mystery.
