Mushroom
Growth in the dark, fast and strange
What it often means
A mushroom in a dream grows overnight in damp and dark — something appearing suddenly from what was hidden or decaying. It can mark rapid, unexpected growth, nourishment drawn from difficulty, or a thing best treated with care, since not all that springs up is safe to consume.
When it tends to appear
- When something has appeared suddenly from hidden ground
- When growth is coming out of decay or difficulty
- When you must judge what is nourishing from what is not
Sit with these questions
- 1
What has sprung up suddenly from something hidden or hard?
- 2
Is this growth nourishing, or is it best left alone?
- 3
What is feeding on the dark, damp parts of your life?
