Dreaming a tree has grown or fallen
What does it mean to dream something has changed since last time?
Reported, and it is the elapsed-time assertion this whole file rests on.
A tree that has grown, or fallen, since a previous dream. Dreamers describe knowing how long it has been without anything in the dream establishing it, in exactly the way the dusty room and the ancient turtle do.
What makes this version remarkable is that it implies continuity between separate nights. The dream is not merely asserting that time has passed; it is asserting that time has passed since another dream.
This database cannot say whether the earlier tree was really the same one. It can say the reports are consistent, and that a journal is the only instrument that would settle it.
Where this reads well
A genuinely intriguing report, and one an ordinary notebook could contribute real evidence to.
Where it is harder
The fallen version carries the disproportionate sadness the beached-whale and injured-animal reports do.
Worth asking yourself
Changed since when? What told me how long? Had I recorded the earlier one?
Dream interpretation is subjective. Nothing here is a diagnosis, a prediction, or medical advice.
