ROOT

If the roots in your dream appear strong, this suggests that the past is still heavily influencing your present. It could also suggest that your past was stable and supportive. If, on the other hand, the tree in your dream was a young one, the message may be that you are in the process of putting down your roots or establishing yourself in the waking world. A dream in which the roots are in the sky suggests wisdom and insight. Spreading roots would indicate an ability to relate well to others, whereas deep roots would suggest a more self-contained attitude. An uprooted tree symbolizes a feeling of being uprooted in waking or spiritual life. Are you losing your hold on the ground? Roots symbolize home, family and stability. Are any of these things changing in your waking or spiritual life?
