Dreams in which roses dream can be completely different in psychological and emotional fullness. For example, in one dream you can enjoy enjoying the wonderful smell or look of a flower, in another - you can feel a distinct pain, wounding your hand on the thorns.

Why do women dream of roses?

The female worldview is often different from the male. In addition, the images that a woman sees in a dream are much brighter and more diverse than men's. For these reasons, the dreams of the fair half of humanity in some cases are interpreted differently than the dreams of men. In order not to be mistaken in the interpretation of night dreams, one should pay attention to the position of researchers of female dreams, one of which is hereditary Siberian healer Natalya Stepanova. According to her dream book:

• If in a dream girl smelling roses this means that in the near future she will meet her only love;
• Seen by a woman in a dream blooming rose bush symbolizes the devotion of a beloved and peace in the family;
• Withering roses in a dream reminds a woman of imminent aging, and also portends sadness and despondency;
• Seen by a young girl bouquets of flowers or wreaths of roses, which she makes up herself means that soon she will find the long-awaited happiness with a worthy person;
• Decorate hair with a red rose for a woman in love in a dream it means in reality to crash on a love front;
• If in winter the girl dreams that she receives a bouquet of flowers as a gift, vision can mean vain hopes. If you had a dream like that in the spring soon the dreamer will have unspeakable happiness;
• If the fair sex sees in white roses on which light does not fall, what he sees portends a serious disease of female reproductive organs;
• Withered rose bush dreams of illness of close relatives. In turn, if the plant is healthy and a woman takes care of it in a dream, the image symbolizes the fulfilled hopes of one of the family members.

The interpretation of the image of the rose in the dreams of women is also found in other dictionaries of the interpretation of dreams. For example, according to the Romantic Dream Book, if a woman in a dream pricks a finger with a thorn of a plant, in the near future she will convict her lover of treason.

Interpretations on different dream books

The image of roses in dreams has not been studied for the first decade. Many somnological researchers become authors of dream books. However, when studying several dream books in a row, it is easy to notice that the same image is interpreted differently in different publications. In fact, this is not surprising, since researchers adhere to different methods of interpreting night dreams. Some of them prefer the method of psychoanalysis, while others study dreams from the point of view of esotericism.

As for the image of a rose in a dream itself, when interpreting it, it is recommended to pay attention to the following dictionaries:

• In terms of psychoanalysis:
  • Miller's Dream Book;
  • Freud's Dream Book;
  • Dream book of Loff;
• In terms of esotericism:
  • Family dream book;
  • Dream interpretation of the XXI century.

Let us consider in more detail both methods of interpreting the image of a rose in a dream.

In terms of psychoanalysis

The most famous publication that considers dreams from the point of view of psychoanalysis is Miller’s dream book by which:

• Making a bouquet of roses in a dream means that the dreamer is currently happy;
• Dry flower may symbolize sadness due to a relative's illness;
• Refuse to accept flowers as a gift - a symbol of unpreparedness for a romantic relationship, a desire to be alone.

In turn, the famous psychoanalyst and sexologist Sigmund Freud sees the rose as an exceptionally sexual symbol. According to the findings of this researcher, the opened bud symbolizes the female genital organs. Thus, according to the dream book of this author:

• Closed bud, who dreams of a girl, says that she is not ready for sexual relations and may be afraid to have sexual intercourse. If a man dreams of such a thing, he subconsciously experiences a sex drive for young girls;
• Open flower on the contrary, he speaks of a thirst for sex in a woman and of standard attraction in a representative of the stronger sex;
• Scarlet roses symbolize violent passion. If in a dream the dreamer receives them as a gift from a loved one, an exciting love adventure awaits him;
• White Rose talk about the fading of passion and love in general. The couple should reconsider their relationship.

According to Loff's dream book the rose is a symbol of the beauty of man and the world around him. To interpret the dream, special attention should be paid to the interpretation of the color of the dreaming flower.

In terms of esotericism

The most famous and high-quality esoteric dream book of all, in which the image of a rose is considered, is a 21st century Dream Interpretation. According to this edition:

• Cut roses yourself in a dream heralds an imminent marriage, regardless of the dreamer's gender. However, if a child has such a dream, it means that soon he will get to know one or the one who in many years will become his husband or wife;
• Giving a flower in a dream symbolizes a declaration of love. The dreamer will find the strength to confess his feelings to a dear person;
• Find a dried rose it means vainly resurrecting former love in memories. There is no return to this page of the past;
• See a fading rose in a dream - to the end of the bright period in life. The joy goes away, and what will happen next is unknown;
• If in night dreams the rose crumbles in the dreamer's hands this means that the serene life has come to an end and he will have to immerse himself in routine chores;
• Get a blue rose as a gift it means in reality to forget about the past and gradually start life anew.

Another quality esoteric publication is Family dream book whose authors claim that fresh roses mean joy and prosperity in the family. At the same time, withered and untidy flowers of any shade predict the disease of one of the household. If the male dreamer gives one rose to an unfamiliar woman, he should take a closer look at it. Most likely, this woman will become his wife.

So, there are many options for interpreting the image of a rose in a dream. But which one to choose? In order to understand what symbolizes the flower that you dreamed about, study several dream books. It is also necessary to take into account your physical and psycho-emotional state on the eve of the dream you saw.
