🇺🇸 Western · Miller (1901)
Evergreen — This dream denotes boundless resources of wealth, happiness and learning. It is a free presentiment of prosperity to all classes.
Trees — To dream of trees in new foliage, foretells a happy consummation of hopes and desires. Dead trees signal sorrow and loss. To climb a tree is a sign of swift elevation and preferment. To cut one down, or pull it up by the roots, denotes that you will waste your energies and wealth foolishly. To see green tress newly felled, portends unhappiness coming unexpectedly upon scenes of enjoyment, or prosperity. See Forest.
