Cactus

Cacti, Succulent

Spines on the outside, water stored within: a cactus survives where little else can. Seen in a dream, it speaks of resilience, independence and a tough exterior that protects a softer inside. A thriving cactus means you can cope with dry, demanding times. Being pricked by one is a sign that someone's defenses, or your own, are keeping people at a distance. A cactus in bloom tells you that beauty and good moments can appear even in hard conditions.
