Personal symbolism
Leaves bring attention to change, vitality, and the conditions in which something is growing. Consider whether they looked fresh and full or dry and spent: that contrast shapes the passage’s movement from business improvement and happiness toward discouragement and loss. The image also shifts with the dreamer’s circumstances. For a young woman, withered leaves are tied to loneliness on the way to marriage, while green leaves carry an expectation of inheritance and a prosperous marriage. Notice what the leaves were attached to, how you felt looking at them, and whether the dream brought up growth, decline, security, or uncertainty in your own life.
Questions to reflect on
