The Dream Book of Self-Knowledge

Ferns

  • a symbol of spiritual growth that is mainly supported by the use of "the power of the snake" (kundalini), which is why dreams with ferns can be accompanied by images of a snake, which only in this instance bears the symbolism of yogic snake power.
  • from a coiled (curled) state they unfold into a perfect order (uncurled) state, which symbolizes the mystical ladder of spiritual growth; an understanding of the fractal of leaves directly in the dream can symbolize Knowledge.
  • In a dream with a vision of the future this may mean a date (summer or winter solstice).
  • fern seed: can accompany and assist in the Active Imagination archetype as a means of magic or of magical powers.
  • golden flower and golden seed of a fern: gives the power to look into the past or into the future; if a person resists this temptation, then he is the bearer of enduring spiritual happiness.
