Rose in a dream
In folk belief, a rose in a dream speaks of love and respect, and its color reveals what kind of feeling it is.
Old dream books consider the rose the queen of dreams about feelings. A red one is read as love and devotion, white as sincerity, yellow as friendship and pink as tenderness. A bud is believed to mean a feeling that is only just being born and should be left to open by itself. The thorn is not read sternly: it only reminds you that lovely things are approached with care. A dream of a rose, they say, always leaves a trace of fragrance in the waking day too.
The most common dreams
Dreaming of a red rose in the garden
By tradition, someone has deep feelings for you, or you have them for someone. The dream encourages you to show it.
Dreaming of a white rose in your hand
Sincerity and honest intent, that is how the old folks read a white rose. Folk belief says you may have an open talk with someone that leaves you both relieved.
Dreaming of receiving a bouquet of roses
The old folks say recognition or a touching sign of affection is on its way. The dream says people value you more than you suppose.
Dreaming of pricking yourself on a rose thorn
The folk reading is gentle: lovely things are approached slowly and with care. A tiny prick in a dream only means a bit more thoughtfulness in waking life.
These interpretations come from folk tradition and are meant for fun; they do not predict the future and are not advice for life decisions.
