The tree is life itself, rooted in the earth and reaching for the sky: family, growth, the axis of the world. The state of the tree reflects your vitality and your roots.
When the dream feels light
A green tree in bloom or full of fruit promises growth, health and a strong family.
When the dream feels dark
A dry, cut or falling tree may point to exhaustion, family loss or broken roots.
Ask yourself
How are my roots, and how am I growing?

The card of this dream
The Hanged Man. A sacred pause, a surrender that shows the world upside down. The Hanged Man hangs upside down from a living tree by one foot, calm, a halo around his head. He is surrender, a pause and a new perspective: by letting go and seeing the world upside down, you understand what you could not see before.
