Dream Symbol: root vegetable

root vegetable

A root vegetable, where the food portion of the plant develops underground (carrot, beet, potato, etc.), could represent:

  • An activity where most of the action is unseen or unknown (as the part of the plant that we tend to see as food is developing unseen, underground)
  • The act of methodically stashing something away (money, ideas, etc.), as a root vegetable "stashes away" nutrients and moisture in its root
  • Something invested or planted (money in stocks, ideas in the subconscious mind, a problem situation, etc.) that grows or becomes bigger somehow, possibly without your awareness (since the root grows unseen underground)

Tips to Understand Dream Meaning

Dream symbol meanings are different for each person. It's IMPORTANT to consider:

  • Personal meaning - What the dream symbol means to you, what it reminds you of, how it makes you feel.
  • Context - How the dream symbol appears in the dream. For example, in a dream about a bee - what was the bee doing, how and where it was doing it, and how did you feel about it?
  • Look beyond the obvious - A dream is often about something other than its obvious meaning. Physical events in the dream commonly represent mental or emotional matters.
