Black Palm tree in dreams
A tree of warm places — flexibility kept upright under long sun and occasional storm.
How black changes the reading
Black colour pulls the symbol toward the not-yet-known — depth, hiddenness, the part of the situation that has not yet come into the light. The dream is rarely warning you; it is showing you that there is more to the picture than the part you have been looking at.
The base reading of Palm tree
A palm tree in a dream is the dream's image of upright flexibility in warm conditions. Palms grow tall on slim trunks; they bend in storms instead of breaking. The dream brings the palm when life has been good and easy for a while and the question is whether you can remain yourself when conditions are favourable. A palm in a steady wind is the dream telling you the flexibility is appropriate to the weather. A palm flattened by a hurricane is the dream noting that the same strategy that worked in normal storms is not adequate for the one that has arrived.
