What does it mean to dream of garden?
A garden usually appears in dreams to speak of processes that are underway in your life, and whose results are potentially very positive. It is usually more connected to matters of work and social relations more generally and less intimately.
But just as there are several possible types of garden and, in a single garden, different plants and environments, so too your dream may have different meanings, complexities and interesting nuances that need to be included in the understanding you will have of it.
So, come with me throughout this article to discover what the most common variations of dreams about gardens mean, and take the time to find the one that best describes the dream you had.
To dream that you see and interact with the garden
Depending on how you interacted with the garden in your dream, the meaning of it is different. See now the differences between dreaming that you are seeing, tending, walking or watering a garden.
To dream that you see a garden
Those who see a garden in their dreams are going through a time of transformation in their life. In general, these are positive changes that you can or will be able to follow in the clear and without big surprises, but if you have experienced some bad feeling during the dream, it is good to be alert.
Otherwise there's nothing to worry about. You are in a particularly favorable moment and your projects have a great chance of coming to fruition. Good times also for relationships: enjoy the company of those close to you and take the opportunity to make new friends or invest in love interests.
To dream that you tend a garden
If you dreamed that you were tending a garden, your unconscious is calling your attention to some very important process of change in your life. And whether the garden is well tended or not, in your dream, is fundamental to understand why he did it.
If the garden was well tended, it is a sign that you are on the right path or have the resources you need to face adversity. If it was poorly tended, it is time to pay more attention to what you are doing. Slow down a little and try to look at things from other perspectives. Listen to different opinions and invest in new knowledge.
To dream that you are walking through a garden
When someone dreams they are walking through a garden, it is because they are a person who is very attentive to the details and small transformations, however small, that happen near them or even in themselves.
The dream reveals this personal characteristic and may indicate some situation that is in need of your ability, so all the other elements of the dream - images, feelings, situations - serve as a map pointing to where you should direct your attention now.
Listen to the call of your unconscious mind and devote some attention to the sensitive area of your life revealed by this dream. You are going through changes, or will soon, and this requires some care. It would seem that you have everything to get through this without too much difficulty.
To dream that you are watering a garden
A dream in which you water a garden manifests a desire for transformation and the (usually good) quality of your expectations and prospects for change. Possibly you are quite excited about some project or the progress of some personal relationship.

The blooming garden in your dreams represents the advantages of perseverance and remaining open to newness and change. These are probably qualities you already have, but it is possible that the dream was a call for you to develop them.
In this respect there is a good chance that you will soon be surprised by news which goes a little beyond your usual patterns. In a way the boundaries of your world are about to expand, but in a positive way.
Use this moment as a learning experience, it's not often that the transformations and diversity in the world are so favorable. Calm down, there's nothing to worry about, everything will be fine.
To Dream of a Dry Garden
Dreams with a dry garden point to the melancholy and lack of prospects that surround the spirit of the dreamer. They may indicate a beginning of depression, and depending on the intensity of the emotions that they awaken or the recurrence of these dreams, it is advisable to seek some help.
Try to do something you've never done, visit places or talk to people different from those you're used to. Surround yourself with art and/or philosophical and spiritual knowledge that seek answers where science cannot reach. Trust in life: it knows what it's doing and will find the way out.
To dream of a beautiful garden
A beautiful garden appears in dreams to reveal good self-esteem and a willingness to stay positive and healthy. It may be an empowering dream, if you are facing or will face circumstances that require personal energies at higher than usual levels and qualities.
Dress yourself in the good energies that this dream brought you and invest in maintaining them. Regardless of the specific circumstances in which they will be needed, it is always good to be able to count on such positive forces. Do not doubt them: if they have been brought to your consciousness, it is for a good reason. Trust.
To dream of an abandoned garden
Seeing an abandoned garden in dreams shows a certain inflexibility and draws your attention to what your life can become if you remain closed to change. It can indicate a great deal of weariness and frustration, but still, in general, you are responsible for things having come to this point.
Start by making small changes to your routine and facing the mental judgments that may arise from that. None of it is "pointless", none of it leads to "unnecessary risk", the world is not divided into a side that you know and another that is dangerous and completely messy.
Relax, let the new start to become a part of your life. You may be rewarded, or at the very least you will have to spend less energy adapting than you would spend fighting change.
To dream of an infested garden
To dream of an infested garden may be a warning that you are suffering from the jealousy and deceit of people close to you. It may be that you are being coerced or feel compelled to make decisions because of outside influences, and this is consuming your peace of mind.
Analyze the circumstances carefully and do not jump to conclusions or hasty actions. Visualize the people who may be sending you the bad energy and mentally repeat to them the Ho'oponopono mantra: "I am sorry. Please forgive me. I love you. I am grateful." Build and maintain this inner space of harmony and good vibes.
To Dream of a Badly Manicured Garden
A poorly tended garden in dreams represents a certain disenchantment or disagreement with the direction some things have taken in your life. It may mean that you are literally neglecting something in your work or personal relationships.
It is possible that you are going through a period of stagnation and lack of prospects. Perhaps you are considering a change of profession, city or something in closer and more meaningful relationships.
Take a deep breath and take the time you need to sort things out in your head and heart. Don't take hasty actions or those about which you are very doubtful. Ask yourself about your true intentions and interests and try to act less automatically.
To dream of a destroyed garden
When a garden appears destroyed in dreams, there is an expression of sadness or displeasure in relation to processes that were interrupted abruptly or even with malice on the part of someone. It may manifest the feeling of powerlessness or represent a milestone for an eventual decision of radical change in your life.
Try to naturalize, for you, the feelings of sadness and frustration, it doesn't help the mentality that feelings like this should be ignored, fought or banished at all costs.
Keep calm and try to act as authentically as possible, driven by your true interests and principles. Give it some time, until the new circumstances clear up.
To dream of a silent garden
In the dream in which there is a silent garden, you are delving into your own soul to align with your deepest center of identity and power. Thus, the dream illustrates very well what would be a process of meditation or relaxation in a state of waking consciousness.
This is a sign that you know the means to do so and you need to center yourself, or retrieve some forgotten knowledge. Concentrate a little on this task if you feel that the dream has not yet been enough for this complete realignment with your center. It is important, don't put it off for another time.
To dream of a garden full of ripe fruit
Dreams about a garden full of ripe fruit are an excellent omen or reveal a special moment of fulfillment and security on many levels. It can refer to both work and personal relationships, but its meaning is always one of abundance and happiness.
All you have to do is to try not to get carried away in these circumstances. Calm down and enjoy this good time without too much fuss or excess. Take some learning from it too, and as far as possible, preserve some of these energies for the more challenging times that will eventually return.
To dream of an enclosed garden
The enclosed garden in dreams deals with people emotionally distant, perhaps only temporarily and because of some inner reform that requires the person to direct much attention to himself. If you were inside the garden, this person is yourself; if you were outside, it is a close person, and the fact that he distances himself is very significant for you.
Give yourself time for this process to come to an end, favor its progress and focus your energies on strengthening whoever was represented by this enclosed garden in your dream. Try to relax a little in order to naturalize these distances and the needs for time and personal space that every human being carries within.
To dream of a walled garden
Those who dream of a walled garden are facing some issue related to their emotional defenses and possibly an external threat, which may be real or completely imaginary. It indicates a beginning of anxiety and insecurity, and may be the cause of some relationship disorder experienced in the real world.
Do meditation and relaxation exercises, try to go out to open places and preferably with plenty of nature. Analyze the whole situation with time and care, and do not hesitate to seek help to resolve any doubts during the process. This kind of detachment is not only strategic but perfectly healthy and natural.
To dream of a garden with few flowers
If you dreamed of a garden with few flowers, you may be a little frustrated about some expectation, or you may be struggling with a project that you didn't expect to have to spend so much energy on. And the worst part of it all is that you probably don't have much idea why things aren't going as well as expected.
First of all, take a deep breath and try to act only after you have carefully reflected and considered your possibilities. Listen to opinions and gather knowledge different from the usual, examine even the most unusual possibilities. Often, the places we visit the least are the ones that are the most full of resources and answers.

Try to stay calm and allow time to do its work. Even if your intention is to avoid the move, there is still nothing that can solve the whole issue overnight. Hold back your anxiety a little and talk to people you trust.
To Dream of a Japanese Garden
Dreams with a Japanese garden point to characteristics of organization and self-care, and may reflect a very advanced self-knowledge. The Japanese garden may also represent an internal space of tranquility and restoring strength.
In this sense, it is quite possible that the dream was just a kind of rest for the mind and heart as much as sleep is for the body. At worst, it was just a call from your spirit for you to really make that little retreat of rest and inner reorganization. If this is the case, answer the call as soon as possible.
To dream of a kindergarten

To dream of a garden with a fountain
If there was a fountain in the garden in your dream, it means that you are going through a time of great emotional fulfillment or have great chances of reaching it. In general, it is an expression of a soul satisfied with the form and flow of the things of life.
If the fountain in the garden was dry or destroyed, it will do you much good to review your recent choices and abandon that which does not correspond to your most sincere and profound interests. If not, try to locate in the body the effects caused by the memory of the fountain with water and use this as a guide or a refuge.
To dream of a large garden
A large garden in dreams helps you recognize how you relate to the unknown and to the immense variety of worlds in the world. In this sense, the emotions you experienced in the dream play a central role in understanding it.
If the grandeur of the garden caused some initial anxiety, focus on the feeling and try to dilute it with meditation and relaxation. If you had good feelings, take the moment to expand your boundaries and try new things. If the emotions were neutral, focus on the plot rather than the images in the dream to interpret it.
To dream of an enchanted garden
A dream of an enchanted garden may indicate a tendency to run away from reality and seek in fantasy some security in the face of circumstances beyond your control. It is very likely that there is, in fact, a very challenging circumstance in your life and that you are facing difficulties in dealing with it.

Listen to advice and make sure you have reliable people around you, but above all seek to re-establish confidence in yourself.

The state of preservation of the garden, as well as feelings and other circumstances of the dream reveal the efficiency and impact of these formulas in your life.
Celebrate your achievements and do not doubt what can be achieved through technique, discipline and study.

Allowing yourself spontaneity and even some mistakes can save your life.

Take advantage of this good time to strengthen your emotional ties and get the most daring projects off the drawing board, or those which haven't yet found an opportunity. Invest in your true interests.
To dream of bromeliads in the garden

To dream of a green garden
The meaning of a dream with a green garden is to remind you that great transformations in life can happen imperceptibly and take extraordinarily long times. In this sense, it may be a warning from your soul for you to keep patience and not try to rush what can only be completed with time.
Practice exercises focused on breathing, such as meditation and yoga, and try to bring all your attention to the body and to the present moment. Reflect on Martin Luther's phrase: "If the world ended tomorrow, I would still plant an apple tree", and take the focus off the results and, especially, the desire for immediate results.
To dream of a garden of pink flowers
Rose flower garden in dreams speaks of love relationships in their everyday processes of emergence, preservation and decline. Thus, the circumstances and people involved in the dream are key to understanding exactly what meaning this dream had for you.

To dream of a garden of red flowers
A red flower garden in your dreams connotes passions and other more intense processes or stimuli which operate in your everyday life. It may even indicate the beginnings of irritation or more violent feelings in a particular relationship, although the overall picture remains calm and there is no evidence of any major conflict.
There is always a risk in acting driven by passions, whether good or bad, and it will always depend absolutely on you to decide whether or not to run this risk. Try at least to carefully evaluate the situation as a whole before acting, listen to advice and observe things from other perspectives, trying to distance yourself from the most immediate and irresistible impulses.
So set your own pace for events rather than letting feelings take control over everything.
To dream of a garden of colorful flowers
Dreams about colorful flower gardens speak of abundance in a human and emotional sense, connected mainly with diversity and the infinite possibilities that life presents to us. Thus they reveal the way you relate to the unknown and to differences, and may be a warning that you need to exercise your flexibility a little.
Honestly evaluate your relationship with diversity, and if you don't identify any areas that are too sensitive and need to be worked on, go out into the world confident that you will be able to deal with a wide variety of circumstances. Also, let some of your abundance and harmony flow into life as a whole: energies like this are rare, and the world is sorely lacking in this regard.
