theindiequeen and I were hired by my aunt Mary to prepare a MASSIVE tree for moving it, because it would be better off elsewhere. The ground was so wet that mud was at least an inch deep, and it was still continuing to rain. (there was water flowing among its roots, like a stream (not from the rain) -- I've dreamed that before!) We were trying to hurry as we washed it off (I think we were washing it? we were touching all the bark but it doesn't make sense to be washing it, and we weren't using soap...), because we wanted to finish before it started pouring again (it was sprinkling at the time). I noticed that Sara was scrubbing off the lichen, and I stopped her, saying that it was beneficial to the tree (?), and we continued to wash. I put a chain around the tree and then it occurred to me that aunt Mary wasn't a trustworthy person at all, and perhaps she just SAID she was moving it when really she wanted to cut it down? I panicked, because I loved the tree so much, and started crying. I was unsure whether to continue in hopes of helping the tree by moving it, or stopping because I didn't want it to get cut down. (I also realized that we could wash all around but we couldn't wash anything higher than we could reach, since we had no ladder) I decided that I had to just do what I could and hope that Mary would help, since it was on her property and I had no way of saving the tree if she wanted to cut it down. So I hugged it and communed with it, and tried to get Sara to take photos of me with it, even though I was worried about my camera getting wet. I was willing to risk it! But then she turned into someone else and didn't want to take photos of me, only herself, and I took it back and attempted to photograph myself with it (though I only got a slice of bark -- that tree was easily thick enough to have five of me wrap arms around it, fingertips barely touching).


---To dream that you cut down a tree, signifies that you are wasting your energy, time, and money on foolish pursuits.
---To see chains in your dream, signifies your need to break free from a routine, old idea, or a relationship.
---To see fungus in your dream, represents negative emotions that are expanding and growing in your unconscious. You need to find a productive way to express them before it grows out of control. (!!! we were just talking about this!)
---To see mud in your dream suggests that you are involved in a messy and sticky situation. It also suggests that some internal cleansing is needed.
---To dream that you are cleaning, implies that you are removing some negativity in your life and overcoming major obstacles. You are moving ahead toward a new stage in your life. You are seeking self-improvement. To dream that you are cleaning an object, represents an aspect of yourself that is not working or functioning as well as it should. (my massive tree with water roots is not working right? huh?)
---To see the trunk of a tree, signifies your inner sense of well being and personality. If the trunk is thick and large, then it denotes that you are a strong, rugged and durable person.
---To see roots of the trees or plants in your dream, symbolizes the depths and core of your unconscious mind and soul. It represents your values and belief system. Alternatively, it denotes your family ties and bonds. You may be searching into your past.
---To see water in your dream, symbolizes your unconscious and your emotional state of mind. Water is the living essence of the psyche and the flow of life energy. It is also symbolic of spirituality, knowledge, healing and refreshment. If the water is calm, clear, then it signifies that you are in tune with your spirituality. It denotes serenity, peace of mind, and rejuvenation. If you are splashed by water, then it represents your need to be revitalized and more expressive.
---To dream that you get wet from the rain, signifies that you will soon be cleansed from your troubles and problems. Rain also symbolizes fertility and renewal. To see and hear rain falling, symbolizes forgiveness and grace.
