Lotus flower

A flower that opens on still water — clarity that has grown up out of murky ground.

A lotus flower in a dream is the dream's image of clarity that has come out of muddy water. The lotus does not grow in clean conditions; it puts its roots in silt and the flower opens above the surface. The dream brings the lotus when something clean and beautiful in your life — a piece of work, a relationship, a self — has emerged from a difficult background and is now visible above it. A lotus open on still water is the dream affirming the transformation. A lotus that has not yet broken the surface is the dream telling you the work is real and the opening is still to come.
