Dreaming of cutting a plant’s roots in the garden - dream meaning with inherited lore
This scene may reflect a worry that a hasty decision or change could shake something you depend on.
As you try to move a plant in the garden, you cut its roots with scissors. A little later, it looks wilted, and you’re startled or upset, as if you’ve done something you can’t take back.
Korean lore: Cutting roots appears as an act that harms a plant’s vitality, but there isn’t a widely established traditional interpretation for it. Even if we apply the traditional meaning of cutting, it may be safest to read it as a scene of looking back on something you cut off or sorted out in a hurry. (There isn’t a clear folk tradition for cutting plant roots, so I’ve limited this to the general symbolism of roots and cutting.)
Through the mind: You may want change while fearing it could harm the foundation or relationships you’ve built so far. If you’re facing an important choice lately, this may be a chance to consider what you want to protect.
