The Big Dictionary of Dreams

by Martha Clarke
A symbol of a self-contemplative, introverted, and self-centered attitude. The warning from the unconscious is obvious: if we rest on our laurels (that is, if we let ourselves be tempted by vanity) we will lose everything. Other more positive interpretations associate daffodils with springtime and rebirth. In this case, the dream indicates that a time of growth, optimism, and hope will arrive. The latter is based on the yellow color and the beautiful symmetry of these flowers, whose symbolism refers to the light of inspiration and psychological wholeness, respectively.

Celtic tradition of the city of Wales believes that a bouquet or field of daffodils means that, in future, you will receive more gold than silver. A single daffodil, however, portends misfortune.
