POPPY

The poppy is a symbol of death and regeneration. Remembrance Sunday is known as Poppy Day in Britain because people wear plastic or paper poppies as an act of remembrance for those compatriots who have died serving their country in war. In the United States, Veteran’s Day serves the same purpose and people likewise wear poppies for remembrance. Sleep and unconsciousness are also associated with the poppy. This is because opium, from which morphine and heroin is made, is extracted from the unripe seed-head of the opium poppy. Are you in need of rest and relaxation? Are you getting enough sleep? Because the poppy produces an abundance of seeds, the flower is also associated with fertility and new beginnings.

This flower symbolizes serenity and simple pleasures, especially after a period of hard work for the dreamer. However, it may also represent the arrival of a stage of ephemeral pleasures and possible cheating by people around you. In any case, seeing yourself smelling a poppy is evidence of fatigue from fighting the misfortunes and the need to live more pleasant moments, albeit brief and superficial.
