Dreaming of Chrysanthemums
chrysanthemum, aster, mum · mostly negative, with some happy notes
White chrysanthemums speak of loss and sadness; coloured ones of pleasant meetings.
What happens in the dream
- Coloured chrysanthemums: pleasant engagements
- Chrysanthemums in bouquets: love will be offered, but a misguided ambition will make you set it aside
- Feeling your spirit leave your body among the white flowers: a crisis is coming soon
- Picking white chrysanthemums: loss and much bewilderment
- Walking down an avenue of white chrysanthemums with a few yellow ones: a strange sense of loss and sadness, from which you'll come out more sensitive and stronger
How you felt
- Grief or nostalgia: the dream may reflect a loss you haven't finished accepting
- A kind of uplift: sadness can also open you to a new sensitivity
Ask yourself
- What loss do I still need to work through?
- Have I pushed love aside for the sake of ambition?
