Deserts

We think of deserts as barren places, which are almost devoid of vegetation or wildlife. However, many plants grow in deserts, sending down deep roots to collect moisture from far beneath the surface and storing it in their leaves. The plants open out only in the early morning or early evening, when the worst of th heat is over. Certain animal species have also adapted to survival in this apparently hostile environment.

The sand in the desert seems to be endless, and this sense of infinity is associated with spiritual qualities because of the belief that the universe is infinite and we are part of that. Sometimes the sand is threatening, as it is in dreams in which the dreamer sinks down into it. This indicates a lack of solidity; if your world is shifting around you, you lose your bearings.

If you dream of being in a desert, this may reflect feelings of isolation or of being in a "cultural desert" - a place that holds no interest for you. If you find yourself on a desert island, does this concern a desire to get away and have some quiet time?

Connections:

To "desert" someone is to abandon them. Could your dream desert relate to a feeling that you have been left behind?
Is your life like a desert - poor on the surface, but rich beneath the ground?
