Dead Lotus flower in dreams
A flower that opens on still water — clarity that has grown up out of murky ground.
How dead changes the reading
Dead in the dream means the symbol's energy is no longer in active circulation in your life. The reading is not necessarily grim — most often it is the dream noting that something you had been carrying has run its full course and you can stop carrying it.
The base reading of Lotus flower
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.
