The Guardian's Quest: Protecting a Sacred Tree, Climbing Ancient Walls
In the dream I was protecting a tree. It was a very high and very wide tree attached or encrusted in a wall, which was also very old and high and made of big stones with ivy creeping up on it. The tree was cut in half a half that was in the wall was fine, and the other half had been cut off and had healed and created more bark. The tree, only had a few branches left that I was trying to protect. The top of the tree was also cut off and showed the flesh of the tree and seemingly there was also a tomb on it, as if the tree was itself protecting someone that was close to me, and had died. Despite it being attached to a wall, it was very hard for me to access the top but at the same time I did it many times during the dream. The next part is hard to remember for me, but I think I had to bring something to the tree, and that my girlfriend was helping me by giving me the objects so that I could put it in my backpack so that I could bring it when I climb the tree.
This dream could suggest several possible interpretations, as dream meanings can vary depending on personal experiences and emotions. However, here are a few possible interpretations:
-
Protection and Loss: The tree in the dream symbolizes something or someone that is important to you and needs protection. The fact that it is attached to a wall made of big stones with ivy creeping up on it suggests that this thing or person has endured hardship but still has the ability to grow and heal. The tree being cut in half with the healed bark and tomb on top signifies a loss or someone close to you who has passed away. You are trying to protect the remaining branches, representing the remaining connections and memories.
-
Difficulty in Accessing Emotions: The struggle to access the top of the tree could represent the difficulty you face in connecting with or expressing your emotions related to the loss. It may indicate that you are finding it challenging to reach a place of understanding or acceptance regarding this person's death.
-
Support from Loved Ones: The presence of your girlfriend in the dream, helping you by giving objects to put in your backpack, suggests that you have a supportive partner who is assisting you in your emotional journey. This could also symbolize the emotional support and understanding you receive from loved ones during times of loss and grief.
Overall, this dream may be highlighting your desire to protect and preserve important connections, while also reflecting the complexity and difficulty of navigating through loss and grief.
