Dreaming of Ivy

ivy, climbing plant, creeper · mixed

Ivy divided the old books: a sign of health and fortune to some, of poverty to others.

What happens in the dream

  • Ivy growing on trees or houses: excellent health, growing fortune and countless joys
  • If you're young: prized distinctions
  • Ivy on a wall in the moonlight: secret meetings
  • Withered ivy: broken engagements and sadness
  • Thick ivy covering a house, especially your own: poverty, by another reading
  • Ivy covering a tree, if you farm: poor crops
  • A bower covered in ivy: a match with someone poor and unenterprising

How you felt

  • Attachment: the dream often reflects a bond that either supports or smothers
  • Perseverance: what grows slowly but surely

Ask yourself

  • Is there a bond in my life that holds me up, or holds me down?
  • What is quietly growing around me?
