Below you will see a series of quotes. Each quote represents the meaning of
a particular dream(these are all dreams where the meaning is understood totally).
For instance one dream may have meant that the dreamer was having trouble
at work. In that case the quote may simply be "There is a bad atmosphere at
work". Some information is included about which dream symbols were included
in the dream(within the squares brackets). Often a sample dream is included
which shows you how the dream interpretation was reached.

ESSAY : What is the symbolic meaning of plants in dreams?
You are thinking if something should be encouraged or discouraged. It is
obviously growing in some way. E.g.
"She keeps asking me questions and probing me for the truth. But its
really non of her business. If I just ignore it she may go away"[Dream
symbol - plants will die if not fed]
Plants are often assciated with teaching. E.g.
"I wish to put my ideas across to the group and I just do not think they
are picking these up very well"[Dream symbol - what plants to use on
farm]
"I am not sure I am happy being a teacher anymore. I have real doubts
now."[Dream symbol - planting seeds]
Plants can often be associated with new and bad growth and our attempts
to keep it under control. E.g.
"I told him specifically about what to do yet he just did not listen.
Now its going to lead to some bad feeling towards him. I just will not be
able to help myself"[Dream symbol - thorny plants]
"I am fearful that my sons are getting in with the wrong crowd"[Dream
symbol - some kind of alien plant]
Plants can symbolise illnesses which are growing in our bodies. E.g.
"I had this dream as I was falling sick with the flu"[Dream symbol
- huge plants entangle me]
"I have been suffering headaches. I thought I was begining to control
this but now I think there maybe something seriously wrong with me"[Dream
symbol - seeds and plants growing]
Pot plants and houseplants can be linked to new attitudes that we are trying
to encourage within ourselves and positive new philosophies we are trying
to incorporate into our personalities. E.g.
"I realise I have to grow as a person and stop boasting and magnifying
my abilities to attract women"[Dream symbol - pot plant]
"I am trying to develope a more progressive attitude to my own sexuality.
I need to be more mature"[Dream symbol - glass room with plants] [the
dream which this quote is based upon is featured in full at the end of this
article]

SAMPLE DREAM
----------------------------------------
THE DREAM My dream starts out with a girl who seems to be my friend
in this dream. She was a beautiful, blonde, perfect body. She convinced me
to come with her to the playboy mansion. I definitely wanted to go but I was
a little nervous. She introduced me to Hugh Hefner and I wasn't interested
in him at all. We walked into a large room that looked like a court yard with
a fountain and a bar. I spoke with a body guard and he made me feel a little
uneasy. Next thing I know I'm taking a yoga class or something with all these
other playboy models. I stood up from whatever I was doing and knocked over
something. Next thing I know everyone was staring at me. There was this elegant
woman in her 50's (I'm 25) and she took me over to the side and said that
I was special and wanted to talk to me in privet. Everyone watched us walk
into this glass room with plants and a marble bench. I could see them doing
there exercises with Hugh. I could see them but they couldn't see me. This
woman was opening up to me and telling me her feelings about the place and
her life. Then she told me she was attracted to me. I knew the discussion
was over but I was intrigued by this woman. I wanted to know more about her.
I wanted to get to know her. All of a sudden she grabs me and starts making
out with me. I felt passionate content. Then I realized what I was doing and
so did she and we stopped mutually. I was fine about what happened. We walked
out of the glass house and I went back to the class.
THE REALITY The dreamer is trying to move forward after being raped. She finds
it difficult to enjoy the company of men in the way she would like to. She
has been seeing a therapist to help her. She is an attractive woman and gets
lots of numbers and whistles whilst on the bus to work.
THE INTERPRETATION Well the Playboy Mansion has got to be some kind of sexual
symbol. In this case the dreamer has been raped and is undergoing therapy
to help her understand herself a little more. So its likely that this is the
background knowledge around which the dream rests.
Houses in dreams tend to link to our own personalities. They symbolise issues
which involve us looking at our own behavior and monitoring our own actions.
Mansions and other large houses tend to involve the effects of the outside
world on our own personalities. They symbolise major events and situations
which are shaping our thinking. In this case the mansion probably represents
the dreamers own therapist. The therapist is helping her understand herself
and her actions. So the dream probably represents her own attempts at self
knowledge and improvement.
The Yoga class is probably a specific symbol for the therapist. The yoga class
symbolises attempts to calm herself down and become more peaceful within her
own mind.
The woman in the dream is a playboy model and also a lot older. Perhaps the
age represents her need to grow up and become more responsible and thoughtful
for her own life. The dreamer is not unattractive in real life so the playboy
model represents how she is attempting through therapy to become more at ease
with her sexuality.
In the end though she pulls back from the kiss. The woman in the dream represents
an ideal which has been built up within her mind. She has been pointed in
a direction by her therapist but although she wants to pursue this ideal and
maybe agrees with it as a goal she somehow is failing to achieve this in reality.
That she is not quite ready to be totally at ease with her own sexuality.
