Black Willow tree in dreams
A water-loving tree with hanging branches — flexible grief, rooted near what feeds it.
How black changes the reading
The base reading of Willow tree
A willow tree in a dream is the dream's image of flexibility that holds its place by giving in the wind. Willows grow near water and bend without breaking; in folklore they have always been the tree of mourning, the one you sit under when grief needs a place. The dream brings the willow when sorrow is the weather in your life and the work is to remain rooted while moving with it. A willow over still water is the dream telling you the grief is being held in good ground. A willow uprooted by storm is the dream noting that the bending eventually had to find its limit and even the patient tree gave way.
