Leaf
A small season, turning
What it often means
A leaf in a dream is a single unit of natural change — green and growing, or falling and letting go. It marks the small turnings of a season: something fresh unfurling, or something gently released. A falling leaf is rarely tragic; it is the tree doing what trees do.
When it tends to appear
- During small but real seasonal changes in your life
- When something is unfurling, or being released
- When you are learning the rhythm of letting go
