Dreaming of Rose
In short
What does dreaming of Rose mean?
Dreaming of a rose expresses sacred love in its beauty and complexity — the natural mandala, the Self in full bloom, beauty that carries thorns. Linked to Venus, Libra, and the Lovers (VI), the rose is also the Rosicrucian symbol of the mystical secret: sub rosa, what is spoken in the confidence of the soul.
Jungian interpretation
The natural mandala. The mystical rose as the Self in full bloom. Sub rosa — the secret kept beneath the rose.
Freudian interpretation
A symbol of feminine sexuality. The bud as virginity; the open bloom as full flowering.
Esoteric meaning
The Rosicrucians. The five-petaled rose as a pentagram. Linked to Venus and Libra. Associated with the Lovers (VI).
Cultural readings
Western tradition: The mystical rose of the Virgin Mary. Dante's rose (the Paradiso). 'A rose is a rose is a rose.'
Eastern tradition: The lotus as the Eastern counterpart of the rose. Purity rising from the mud.
