No. My daughter has elaborately plotted full color dreams, though, complete with sounds, smells, and sense of touch. I think they say something about the imaginative power of the dreamer, your capacity is evidently of a high order. And as you say, your dream shows how important your garden is to you. I enjoyed it: thanks for sharing.

That's great Josh. I can see that roses are deep in your psyche. I had a dream once where all my garden flowers were talking to me and nodding their little heads.

I do occasionally have gardening dreams. Usually after a very long day of pruning I might dream about pruning that night. Nothing so dramatic as yours though, Josh!

Frequently over my life span, I have found myself in wondrous gardens full of the most striking flowering trees. I madly search for seed pods and plot my return for when they are ripe so I can make that landscape my own.

Thank you, Josh and Mendocino! what wonderful dreams. I shall never look at my flower's faces the same way again.

The first dream I had as a child that I can remember was of a garden I designed (in the dream). And I have a son who flies in his dreams, sans airplane. Now THAT I wish I could do.

I've had many flying dreams (exhilarating and scary at the same time), but I can't remember any gardening dreams at the moment.

Oh yes, the stress dream. You are going along fine and suddenly you are worrying about your plants.

I had so many dreams that the city, mean people, large animals, you name it... has plowed through my garden and damaged things. I have woke up in a start when I dreamed that my roses were uprooted or smashed flat by some awful force or angry person. The worst is when I dream that the pets are lost or sick or in danger. I really hate that.

Find out what is stressing you and tell yourself that you will not be overrun by it. You need to tell your mind or it will be giving you these dreams to let you know it's overwhelmed. Tell yourself that you will find a way to have a garden and no one will be able to threaten it.

Classic stress dream, Josh! Of course, my first thought when I read your post was, "Oh, no! Josh's dad is NOT going to be happy with all those roses IN his house!!"

The stress dream I used to have (repeatedly) was that my university called and there was a mistake in calculating my class hours. My degree was invalid until I came back and took another 5 hours. Then I'd spend the rest of the night trying to figure out all the details I was going to have to take care of to get my children and horses and pets organized to spend 4 months in another city. I'd be brushing my teeth the next morning still trying to figure it all out.

If I dreamed about my roses now I'm sure it would involve rose slugs and their greedy chompers as I try to pick thousands of them off my roses by hand...scary.

Keep dreaming Josh-----with your positive attitude all things are possible.

Kittymoonbeam, I believe I saw your post before you edited it, and it was wonderful. I wasn't dreaming myself, was I?
Melissa

I thought it was too long and maybe too personal. Anyway, I really did have that dream and if I could, I would go live in that reality.

It's a rare thing to feel that you have seen your soul and I was so happy that mine was in a garden.

I wish everyone many happy garden dreams

Kitty,

Your post was beautiful! The way you described your dream kept me captivated. You have a wonderful vision of a garden. I really hope you can achieve it!

Josh
