Purple Baobab in dreams
A huge, water-storing tree of dry country — a body built to outlast long droughts.
How purple changes the reading
Purple colour places the symbol between hot and cool — a reading that has both calm and intensity at once. The dream often uses purple for symbols that do not fit the usual categories cleanly. Take the reading more seriously than you would otherwise; the colour is asking you to.
The base reading of Baobab
A baobab in a dream is the dream's image of a body built to survive long, dry seasons by storing what it needs internally. Baobabs hold water inside the trunk and live for centuries in country that should not be able to support them. The dream brings the baobab when a long-haul self-reliance — financial, emotional, spiritual — is what is currently keeping you alive. A baobab standing on dry plain is the dream telling you the interior reserves are doing their job. A baobab hollowed out from inside is the dream noting that the long self-reliance has cost the centre, and the trunk is now fragile.
