To dream of seeing poplars, is an omen of good, if they are in leaf or bloom.
For a young woman to stand by her lover beneath the blossoms and leaves of a tulip poplar, she will realize her most extravagant hopes.
Her lover will be handsome and polished. Wealth and friends will be hers. If they are leafless and withered, she will meet with disappointments.

To dream of a green poplar denotes fulfilled hopes, if withered it denotes disappointment (Gypsy). It was once held sacred to Hercules. Afterwards it symbolized the Holy Rood of the Christians (Bayley).
