The appearance of a willow tree in a dream is usually associated with events that carry strong emotional connotations, such as sadness, loss, and separation, and it is also related to water and wisdom. In English and American culture, people who have lost loved ones wear wreaths made of willow branches to express their grief. In Chinese mythology, Guanyin is often depicted holding a willow branch and a vase of pure water, which connects the image of the willow branch with religious, compassionate, spiritual, and wise meanings, embedding it into people's subconscious. Therefore, a willow branch in a dream can sometimes serve as a signal of changes in life, insight, and emotions in the subconscious.
