Original source (English)
To dream of gathering cowslips, portends unhappy ending of seemingly close and warm friendships; but seeing them growing, denotes a limited competency for lovers. This is a sinister dream.
To see them in full bloom, denotes a crisis in your affairs. The breaking up of happy homes may follow this dream.
