What Does Dreaming of a Tree Mean?
Traditional Interpretation
In traditional interpretation, especially according to Ibn Sirin and Imam Nabulsi, seeing a tree in a dream is mostly considered an auspicious sign; it can be interpreted as abundance, long life, enduring provision, and deep-rooted relationships. The tree's branches may point to children and relatives, while a green, fruit-bearing tree may point to goodness, wealth, and steadfastness in faith.
Psychological View
From a modern psychological perspective (Jung), the tree can be seen as a powerful symbol of wholeness representing the growth of the self and spiritual development through the balance of root and branch; the roots may point to the unconscious and the past, and the branches to life energy reaching toward the future and one's potential.
By Context
A Green, Fruit-bearing Tree
It may point to plenty, abundance, health, and the fulfillment of wishes.
A Dry or Leafless Tree
It can be interpreted as wishes being delayed; yet for the sick it may point to healing, and for the troubled to deliverance.
According to Ibn Sirin
A fruit-bearing tree may signify good and beneficial people, while a fruitless tree may signify the poor or the unhelpful.
Planting / Cutting Down a Tree
Planting a tree may point to offspring, good deeds, and honor; cutting one down may point to straying from one's path or a passing unrest.
