Dream of red roses, mom

Had a dream where there were tall rose bushes leading from my walk way to me house, but something happened to the bushes and they fell over (the roses came in all colors roses can come in). So we decided to sell them at the flea market because my mom was running a store that was selling art supplies and some of my paintings. My sister and sister in-law was selling only red roses together for a dollar each. I grabbed two big tote bag / knapsack bags to carry my roses in, I do recall two damaged roses, and one had spider webs on it. So I walked around the busy flea market trying to sell either single roses or make little bouquets with them (I had other plants in my bags too) but I was having trouble finding rubber bands to make bouquets with.

Dream Interpretation Analysis

Meaning of red roses in a dream

Dreaming of red roses is usually rich with symbolism, often connected to love, passion, beauty, and sometimes even pain or sacrifice — depending on the context of the dream. Here’s a breakdown of what red roses in a dream might symbolize: 1. Love and Romantic Passion Red roses are classic symbols of romantic love, deep affection, and emotional intensity. Receiving red roses: You may desire love or recognition from someone, or you're feeling appreciated and emotionally fulfilled. Giving red roses: You may be expressing love, desire, or admiration toward someone in your waking life — or wishing you could. Seeing red roses bloom: Could represent growing feelings of love, or a blossoming relationship. 2. Passion and Desire Beyond love, red roses also carry the energy of sensuality, sexual attraction, or emotional heat. If the dream had a strong emotional tone, the roses might point to intense desires — possibly even ones you’re not fully acknowledging in waking life. A burning or overly bright red rose might suggest desire that feels overwhelming, urgent, or taboo. 3. Pain, Heartbreak, or Loss Red roses can also symbolize the duality of love — beauty and pain. If the dream felt sad, anxious, or dark, the rose might symbolize: Unrequited love or romantic disappointment. Emotional wounds from a past or current relationship. Sacrifice — like giving love but not receiving it back. Also, if the roses have thorns, that may symbolize the pain or risk that comes with loving or opening your heart. 4. Symbol of Self-Love or Personal Growth In some dreams, red roses aren’t about another person at all — they represent your relationship with yourself: Seeing or picking a beautiful red rose might reflect self-worth, healing, or inner beauty. A rose blooming on its own could represent your heart opening, healing from past wounds, or readiness to give/receive love. 5. Spiritual or Mystical Meaning In spiritual symbolism (especially in mysticism and some religious imagery), the red rose can symbolize: Sacred love or divine beauty. The heart center (chakra) awakening. A spiritual message of love or compassion. What to Consider: Ask yourself: What emotions did you feel when you saw the rose(s)? Was someone else in the dream with you? Were the roses fresh, withered, growing, or dying? Did you smell them, touch them, or avoid them? These details help reveal whether the dream is about joy, longing, healing, or something unresolved.

Meaning of mom in a dream

Mother Dream Meaning sychological Meaning: The mother may symbolise the unconscious intuitive side of yourself. However, the mother symbol can take both positive or negative forms. She may appear as a kindly mother, grandmother or aunt or as a place such as a cave, church or garden. These images may represent the qualities of solicitude, growth, nourishment and fertility. The negative mother symbol may appear as a witch or a dragon and represents dark destructive tendencies that devours, seduces or poisons. Some people have problems freeing themselves from mother-attachment. This prevents the development of their individuality and inner self-dependence. Mystical Meaning: Most mystical traditions have the symbol of the Mother written into their legends and myths. At her most exalted she is the divine Great Mother at her most frightening she is the gorgon Medusa or the Sumerian goddess Lilith. Freud believed that the Greek myths of Oedipus and Electra symbolised psychological conditions. In the story Oedipus killed his farther and married his mother. Freud claimed that this represented a boy’s incestuous desire for his mother and jealousy towards his father. Similarly Electra desired her father and was jealous of her mother. A girl may therefore unconsciously believe that she has been castrated by her mother and is now an incomplete male. According to Freud this gives rise to ‘penis-envy’, which is one of the root causes of women’s feelings of inferiority.

I'm Nigerian and Igbo, I had a dream that all the Igbos in the State I was staying in right now(an igbo State) and, actually everybody, even non Igbos were being told we could no longer stay in our homes for some reason and to pack no more than 4 bags each of all our stuff and to come to a location and drop our luggage in a line, that the government would have them taken to new residence and use it to assign us to them. I think? Or something. And that we were not allowed to hold on to our luggage, that we *had* to put it down on the line, then go take a seat for the large state wide conference being held and listen to what the governor of the state had to say. The tension lay in the fact that throughout the stress of packing with the family I was living with in the dream (my cousins and aunty), entering a vehicle, and driving to the mandated location, I was terrified that this was actually a genocide. I kept on begging my Aunty and cousins to consider that this might be a genocide, or to flee the state and put our luggage in a relatives house in a neighboring state. They did not listen until the last possible moment, when I thought up and suggested the latter, by then we had already reached and dropped our luggage, and a female army soldier had appeared nearby and was watching us, so we had to leave it be. Another thing is on the drive there we would see things that in the logic of the dream, could have pointed to this being a genocide. One being a tree that we passed that may or may not have been a species that "usually" grew due to the circumstances that could be caused by a pogrom in dream logic, eg excess blood in the soil or the smoke of burnt human remains in the atmosphere or something like that. But it was never spoken out loud only suspected, so whether this was true in the dream isn't certain. secondly on 2 occasions I would see hills in the distance just absolutely *covered* in trash, sometimes with small piles of trash burning. And i would suspect whether the trash was actually the belongings and luggage we were submitting to the federal government. This one out of fear for such an outright confirmation was kind of doubted immediately by me. When sitting down for the conference, closest to the stage where the governor was speaking, a Hausa man in this dream, it was at a point where it was kind of up to the mechanics of my brain whether this dream would turn out to be something else or indeed a genocide. And in the dream I was either subconsciously or consciously but partially aware of this fact, it was why the 3 instances of evidence for genocide were being doubted with hope in the first place. So every word the governor would say had me on the edge of my seat hoping my dream would come in and provide a different explanation, soon a different scenario. One of the bases of my hope being the blatantly lower class Hausa people also standing around in the crowd because they live in the state too so had also been forced to leave their homes. Because in real life such drastic antagonistic action would never be taken with their own tribe in the direct crossfire. Either the Hausas in the government favoured their population, or betrayed them class-wise in a way that could be spun as justifiable. Anyways it was during this speech that I woke up. My heart was pounding so hard I expected it to be painful and causing some other physical reaction (the same way stomach aches are accompanied by nausea and a need to defecate). It got under control though, and I immediately started typing this.
