Terrace garden

A terrace garden in a dream is the dream's image of cultivation made possible on a slope by patient terracing. The hill alone would wash away; the steps make the soil stay. The dream brings the terrace garden when something in your life — a difficult body of work, a relationship across a real life difference, a project in unfriendly conditions — is being made viable by the deliberate construction of level places along its slope. A terrace garden in full bearing is the dream affirming the engineering. A terrace garden whose retaining walls have given way, with the soil sliding to the bottom of the hill, is the dream noting that the structure that made the cultivation possible has failed, and the land is returning to its uncultivated slope.
