DREAM THEME
Dreaming of grass
Vinaya K. Manhas

DREAMS of grass could take the form of a pleasing green meadow, patches of soft green grass, someone cutting grass, stacks of cut grass, grass rotting in sheds, dry grass, etc.

According to the Indian thought, to see green grass in one’s dream is a lucky omen. It means that you shall succeed in whatever you endeavour through your own hard work and persistence. But if the grass is cut, dry or rotting then it is an unfortunate dream. It means that sickness and disappointments shall befall you. But if, on the contrary, you see wild weed or grass in your otherwise beautiful garden and attempt to uproot it then it means that you can be certain of prosperity. You shall be happy in every way in your life. You shall be blessed with lots of wealth and property. Your health will be good and you will have a long and peaceful life, full of happiness.

As per western thought, seeing grass in your dreams is indeed very lucky. For those in business, such a dream promises a happy and favourable time. Literary and artistic people shall gain the fame, which they have desired. If you are in love then union with your beloved in marriage is certain after such a dream. Should you see rocks in an otherwise green meadow or even a rocky mountain behind a patch of green grass then you are advised be prepared for some problem that might crop up in the future. Should you see dry and yellow patches in between an otherwise green expanse then you are forewarned of small problems and minor illnesses cropping up in an otherwise pleasant time. You could also face embarrassing situations.

Psychoanalytically speaking, seeing green grass in your dreams is a symbol of fertility, growth and victory over depressing times that could have been prevailing in your life. You could be suddenly struck by a new plan or an innovative idea. Should the grass be dry or rotten, it denotes your own lack of faith in your capabilities. It could also indicate a pessimistic line of thought. Symbolically, the colour green in dreams stands for balance and harmony. It is the colour of nature and life.

A 19-year-old boy would often see green stretches of land in his dream. He would see himself walking on them and feel happiness envelope him. He would be quite relaxed. As he would reach the centre of the green stretch he would turn around to admire the scenery, but would find everything behind him dry and barren. The boy is pessimistic and lacks confidence. He seems to be the type of person who considers happiness as a temporary phase and sorrows a permanent aspect of life. The drying of the grass behind him could also denote a lack of self-confidence. He, perhaps, does not think he is capable of doing anything worthwhile. Thus, his moments of happiness seem short lived.
