Dreaming of a Family Tree

family tree, ancestry, genealogy · mostly negative

A family tree is about family burdens and rights you may have to give up.

What happens in the dream

  • Your own family tree: heavy family responsibilities, or pleasure found far from home
  • Others studying it: you'll be forced to give up your rights to someone else
  • Missing branches: you may neglect friends who have fallen on hard times

How you felt

  • The weight of heritage: the dream may reflect family expectations weighing on you
  • A sense of belonging: you may be trying to understand where you come from

Ask yourself

  • What am I carrying for my family?
  • Who have I left out of my circle?
