Planting

Planting a tree, Planting flowers, Putting in a garden

Kneeling in the dirt, digging a hole and settling a young plant into the ground is a way of saying "I'm staying." Planting dreams often come when you're committing to something for the long haul: a home, a relationship, a career or a new habit. Getting soil under your nails says you're happy to do the humble, hands-on part of a goal, not just talk about it. Planting with someone else shows a shared plan, a life you're building side by side.

Dream variations

• Planting a treeYou're investing in something that will shelter other people too, like family or a community. Choose the spot with care; it will be there for years.
• Planting in the wrong seasonYour timing feels off for something you care about. Wait a little; the right moment will come around.
• Planting with a parent or grandparentFamily habits and values are taking root in you. Let the ones that suit your own soil grow.
• Plants that won't stay in the groundSomething you tried to settle keeps getting uprooted. Look for a steadier spot rather than trying the same one again.
