Dreaming of Lotus
In short
What does dreaming of Lotus mean?
Dreaming of a lotus means purity is being born from your darkest depths: a beauty that transcends the mud from which it rises. It is the supreme symbol of awakening: each chakra is a lotus, and the thousand-petalled lotus crowns the spiritual experience. From Buddhism to Lakshmi upon her flower, it embodies the most accomplished form of sublimation.
