Seeing a succulent plant in your dream can seem very mundane and ordinary. But this can actually indicate something important in your life.
Succulents are plants that grow slowly and steadily, but provide a lot of benefit for you and the air that you breathe, whether you put them indoors or outdoors. Read on to find the many different possible interpretations for seeing a succulent plant in your dream.
What does a dream about a succulent plant mean?
Succulent plants are those that have grown thick leaves in order to retain more water. They are usually seen or more popular in countries with very dry climates. Here are some of the possible meanings of dreams about a succulent plant.
Symbolic of patience
Plants in general take a long time to show you their progress in terms of growing and blossoming.
To dream of a succulent plant can symbolize how you need patience in your daily grind – how it would be helpful to you to imbibe this patience and be gentle with yourself if you don’t see progress as quickly or as automatically as you’d hope.
This symbolism can be applicable to a lot of things in your life. Taken more literally, you can apply it to the work that you do every day, the projects you endeavor, the goals that you slave day and night for.
You may not see big improvements every day, but when you look back at what you’ve done, maybe in a few weeks, months, or even a year – you’ll see how far you’ve come.
With this perspective, it is also important to take on a more appreciative attitude. Do your best to highlight the good, instead of focusing on the bad or the not so good.
There will inevitably be ups and downs in your journey – so make sure you give more emphasis on the ups and celebrate them for all the improvement they’ve gifted you with – instead of puling yourself down with the unremarkable parts and letting yourself feel bad because of them.
Here, you will see that there really are many ways of looking at a situation – and the way you look spells your emotions and your reality a whole lot, too.
Symbolic of adaptability
Succulents are known to retain water in their leaves, roots, and other parts of their bodies. This is to help adapt to the warmer climates that they are in.
Seeing a succulent plant in your dream could symbolize your adaptability to harsh or extreme environments.
It gives you confidence to know that you, your body, and your mind, can do so much to shine wherever you are placed – all it takes to have faith in yourself, and know that you are doing such a good job just by doing the best you could each day.
Symbolic of care
Plants also need the right amount of care, attention, and concern. Just like every living thing, it needs these things the most – and the balance of these is crucial to its health and vitality.
A dream of a succulent plant may indicate the care and attention you need to give yourself, and/or your endeavors.
This is something not to be taken lightly – this is something you may often take for granted but is really the most important thing you can give yourself, the people around you, and even the projects you take on and the work that you do.
Symbolic of balance
This is somewhat related to the topic of care. Succulent plants cannot be showered with water one day just to compensate for long stretches of time that they weren’t watered.
They also cannot be left to be dry for too long a period of time. If you leave them unattended, they will also wilt and die.
A significant amount of attention, and the balance of elements that you feed it every day is crucial in its life and vitality. It is important that this balance is achieved so that the succulent plant will keep for a long time.
This is something that your dream may be telling you about – it may be reminding you of the concept of balance in your daily life. You can do the good that you need to do little by little, and work on what you can every day.
This is also so you don’t get overwhelmed by things that you need to do – just remember that you can take baby steps and take it day by day – and realize that progress is often made in this way.
