Dreaming of cutting a flower’s stem in a vase - dream meaning with inherited lore
You may be wondering whether to let go of something you cherish, or worrying that a good moment will end too soon.
You cut a flower or its fresh stem with scissors while it’s in a vase. You may worry it’ll wilt, or calmly trim it to the right length.
Korean lore: There isn’t one fixed interpretation for scenes of cutting flowers or plants. Traditionally, people sometimes read the thing being cut as a sign of change in a relationship or something cherished, but the meaning can vary with the flower’s condition and how you felt in the dream. (I’ve cautiously drawn on folk interpretations that compare flowers and plants to relationships or lively pursuits.)
Through the mind: You may be wondering whether to keep a relationship or plan you care about going, or adjust it to fit real life. How you feel after cutting the stem may reflect the mix of sadness at letting go and the sense that something needs sorting out.
