Flower in a dream: meaning

What dream books say

Flowers are traditionally read as beauty, affection and something coming into bloom. Wilted flowers stand for a feeling or a time that has passed; receiving flowers is linked to appreciation and love, and giving them to an open heart. A field of flowers points to joy and a fertile, creative time. Picking flowers is read as gathering happiness, sometimes as taking something before it is ready. Colour adds nuance: red for passion, white for purity and remembrance, yellow for friendship. Dream books ask what in your life is opening up — or quietly fading.
