Complete Dictionary of Dreams

by Dr. Mıchael Lennox
Leaves are a plant’s respiratory system and the structure through which they turn sunlight into energy. As such, they are a symbol for the power and abundance associated with the earth’s never-ending supply of life itself. Consider the state and structure of the leaves in your dream. On a plant or a tree, leaves are a symbol of the ability of life to sustain itself and how that lives in you.

If the leaves are in the process of falling, turning colors, or decay, they are more connected to the way in which life unfolds as a series of cycles. Leaves that are compromised in some way are reflecting some breakdown in your ability to take energy in and convert it to proper and productive use for personal gain.

Strangest Dream Explanations

by Dream Explanations - Anonymous
Dreams of leaves symbolize the graceful, vulnerable and flowing part of you that demonstrates your dance with the winds of change. Leaves also represent abundance, money and that you feel you are taken care of and protected, shaded from the sun and rain. Leaves are an outer expression of inner work.

If the leaves are brown, falling from a tree, or on the ground, then this represents the completion of a cycle, death, and endings. This dream could also signify a desire to “leave” your relationship or job.

Ten Thousand Dream Interpretation

by Gustavus Hindman Miller
To dream of leaves, denotes happiness and wonderful improvement in your business. Withered leaves, indicate false hopes and gloomy forebodings will harass your spirit into a whirlpool of despondency and loss.

If a young woman dreams of withered leaves, she will be left lonely on the road to conjugality. Death is sometimes implied.

If the leaves are green and fresh, she will come into a legacy and marry a wealthy and prepossessing husband.
