Dreaming of picking a fistful of flowers indicates you’re making a better future for yourself and those you love, or the future will hold a new connection with someone that will run deeply. If you have this dream when you feel someone has ignored you, this dream is mirroring how your feelings have been overlooked. This dream can also suggest you’re too preoccupied with something, to the extent that you’ve lost sight of something important.
If you dream of hanging baskets overflowing with blooms, you are handling things in the best way possible right now, though it may not seem like it. This affirmation will help you on your spiritual journey, but it’s not a sign you should pause, you need to keep going. If you dream of picking flowers out for a bouquet for someone, this indicates that you’ll have a new love or a profound connection with someone in the future. Dreaming of a picturesque flower garden indicates that the future will hold many positive things, and if you were thinking of starting something new, now is the time to do so, as you’re in the best position to start.
Flower dreams, unfortunately, aren’t all roses and happy things. Dreaming of cutting up flowers or taking flower heads off when they’re in full bloom signifies that someone or something will cause you a lot of problems and threaten your way of life or inner peace. Cut flowers can also signify there’s a false friend in your life, where the novelty of the charade of kindness will soon wear off. Dreaming of dying flowers sitting in a vase signifies worry, or being so preoccupied that you’re neglecting a relationship or part of your life which could really do with your attention. Dreaming of throwing out flowers suggests there will be trouble in the future, or you’re sick of a current problem, and you just want it over and done with. It can be a sign of impatience, and a warning to keep working as hard as you can for now, to get over the bulk of the problem.
Dreaming of buying flowers for someone indicates how much someone has been on your mind recently, or you’ll shortly give them something which will improve their life, and this might not be something material at all. It might be a helping hand or listening when they need it. If you dream of someone else buying you flowers, this either signifies bad news which will court a lot of sympathy, or a turbulent time that you’ll come out the other side better off, with a renewed happiness. Your subconscious mind might have picked up cues from someone about their affections for you, and this can also surface in your dream. A bright bouquet of flowers can imply the support you’re lucky to have from those around you will help bolster your prosperity in the future.
Dreaming of a field full of flowers links to the beauty in simplicity. You are over-complicating your life, and you might be focusing on all the wrong things when it comes to making yourself happy. You don’t need to surround yourself with expensive things in order to be content, or continuing to search for the best of everything. Alternatively, this dream promises a better outlook soon, where you’ll release all that stress you’ve been carrying. Now’s the time to look for the good things in your life, and appreciate them for what they are.
Wildflowers in a dream can suggest you’re unhappy at work, or you feel it’s time to chase down your goals. Artificial flowers are your subconscious drawing your attention to a relationship that is false in some way, or a friendship that’s built on an ideal and not the actual connection you have. You or someone you know is being fake in some way.
Dreams about flowers can signify many things, just as different flowers mean different things within the ‘language of flowers’. The flowers themselves can symbolize your growth as a person, what drives you through life and how fulfilled you feel. They usually encompass life changes, and how we adapt to those, like a new relationship, or a change in career. Your subconscious may also be drawing your attention to the fact that your potential is pretty much limitless, and this may be something you have forgotten, or you’ve limited yourself to a certain set of goals, and might come to realize that they’re not what you really want after all.
Dreaming of an ex-partner or current lover giving you flowers signifies that you have a new outlook, or fresh ideas which really need to be shared in order to get the best out of them. It can also signify a new circle of people who will enrich your life – is it time you tried that hobby you’ve been putting off? If you felt content or happy during this dream, your feelings suggest you’re on the right path for you, right now.
While flowers in a dream are broadly a positive sign, you may dream of receiving flowers as a negative experience where they’re a gesture of sympathy. This doesn’t necessarily mean there will be a death in the future, it’s more that your perception of the future is skewed in some way, you’re focusing too much on the negative things, and you’re predicting bad things will happen as a result, and you’re more likely to recognize the bad when it comes and miss the good. If you dream of laying flowers on a grave, you have been carrying a lot of guilt.
