(See Blossom.) To dream of healthy, thriving plants is a good omen, as it foretells success in life, and smart children: such a dream is an excellent one for lovers, as it denotes an early and happy marriage.

Dreaming that you see a plant come out of your body, is death. To dream of plants quick of growth, as the vine and the peach tree, denotes that the good and evil portended shall quickly happen. But trees that are slow of growing, as the oak, olive, &c., show that the good or evil that shall happen to us shall be long in coming.
