Dreams are expressions of the spiritual realm and a bridge between the tangible and the intangible. They are the beginnings of realities. They reflect our past truths, illusions, and wild fantasies. They also mirror anticipations, irrational thoughts, experiences, and even telepathic visions. Dreams can encourage us, warn us, or reveal a direction we are taking that may not be worthwhile.
It is important to become aware of the spiritual world. Just as there are people in the physical world who do not have your best interest at heart. So it is in the spiritual world.
A true story from a Facebook friend inspired this post. One day, she noticed a single weed growing through the artificial grass she had laid in her yard. Her interpretation was that sometimes, where one’s growth begins is not necessarily where one is meant to remain. Insightful indeed — but there is even more to that moment.
Sometimes, growth among those who do not understand you becomes a disadvantage. Yet life is for each of us to learn as we grow. From that one “odd” sprout, those around it can learn how to adapt and survive. Before artificial grass is laid, the soil is usually tilled. That lone seed had been waiting beneath the surface. When conditions aligned, it sprouted — deceived by its environment yet still determined to grow.
This brings me to the last days. Jesus Christ foretold that apostasy would not overtake the entire body of Christians. The true, loyal ones would be like wheat among weeds, as described in Matthew 13. When the disciples asked if they should pull up the weeds, Jesus said no. He advised against it, lest the wheat be uprooted with them. Growth happens even in environments that seem unfavorable, and God allows certain things for our development.
This returns us to dreams.
Sometimes our dreams reveal themselves in our waking life. I remember my indoor plant — Golden Devil’s Ivy — which grows even in harsh conditions. When my cousin Petal died, a mushroom appeared in the pot for the first time in years. I thought it was a sign. Later, when my Aunt Ismay passed, I found a long black strand of hair in my sink that wasn’t mine. Again, I thought it was a sign — or someone had entered my apartment.
Years later, with clarity and spiritual maturity, I understood whose sign it was. It certainly was not from the true God. When God gives a sign, it is confirmed, repeated, and aligned with His character. The mushroom never returned after I removed it. This is a reminder that the dead do not speak to the living, as Ecclesiastes 9:5 states. Satan, a deceiver from the beginning, continues to deceive today. Friends, do not be misled or mislead others. Know the world you live in. Be aware of your surroundings and the people you associate with.
INTERPRETATION AND MIRACLES
Just as my friend sought clarity about her weed, I sought clarity about mushrooms. Mushrooms do not grow from seeds; they reproduce through microscopic spores carried by wind, water, or animals. When these spores land in the right environment, they form mycelium. This is the hidden body of the fungus. It eventually produces mushrooms.
Now consider this spiritually:
Plants grow and decay. In dreams, plants often symbolize life and death, rebirth, and progression. Something in your life may be changing. And from the beginning, God has used plant growth as a sign.
This brings us to the miracles.
In the days of Moses, God used a miraculous sign to reveal who He had chosen. The leaders of each tribe placed their staffs before the Ark. By morning, Aaron’s staff — a dead piece of wood — had sprouted, budded, blossomed, and even produced almonds.
This was God’s unmistakable sign of approval, life emerging where life should not have been. A divine confirmation.
So yes — plant growth can symbolize divine favor, new beginnings, or the unfolding of God’s purpose.
Share this post with someone who may be grieving this season. They may be misled into thinking their loved one is communicating with them through signs. Help them understand the difference between divine reassurance and spiritual deception.
