Dreaming of flower
Read two ways. Let them disagree, the truth often sits between.
Artemidorus · Oneirocritica
Drawn up, it speaks of Flowers in their season foretell joy, favor, and the goodwill of those you court, in love or in trade. To be given a garland denotes honor arriving.
Drawn down, it warns of Flowers out of season or already wilting warn of pleasures that cost more than they give, promises fading fast. To smell a flower and find no scent signals fair appearance over empty substance.
Jungian · the collective unconscious
Drawn up, it speaks of The flower is feeling made visible, the psyche's brief honest bloom, beauty that doesn't apologize for being temporary. Flowers opening in a dream mean something in you has decided it is safe to be seen.
Drawn down, it warns of Cut flowers dying in a vase are feeling severed from its root, loveliness kept for display after the life has been taken out of it. Flowers you hide or crush point to a tenderness you were taught to be ashamed of.
