Dreaming of Leaves

leaves, foliage, greenery, leaf · mixed: happy when green, gloomy when withered

Leaves track the health of the tree: green ones promise happiness and long life, withered ones bring disappointment and worry.

What happens in the dream

  • Leaves, or fresh leaves sprouting: happiness, long life and a marked improvement in business
  • Fresh green leaves, if you are single: an inheritance and a fine marriage
  • Withered leaves, if you are single: a lonely road toward partnership
  • Withered leaves: false hopes, despondency and losses
  • Leaves wilting and falling: illness, sometimes a death

How you felt

  • Vitality or momentum: the dream may reflect a sense of renewal
  • Wistfulness: it may express a feeling that one season of life is ending

Ask yourself

  • What is growing in me right now, and what is fading?
  • Am I struggling to let something go?
