Roots in dream can symbolize your roots as a person, indicating a deep layer of what makes you the person you are. For example, your personal roots are your values, principles, upbringing, and faith. Roots are associated with family or heredity—“family roots.” Many dreams about trees and roots connect in some way with your family or the idea of family. See: Trees Relationships can be said to have “deep roots.” Something deeply rooted in your being is a permanent part of you. Roots can refer to the roots of a situation or event, the roots of a problem. Putting down roots means establishing yourself in the physical world, such as when you buy a home or enmesh in a social circle. You decide that this is the ground where you’re going to stay for an extended period. See: Home “Uprooted” is a way of saying “upended.” Your life is upended. For example, a young man dreams about a massive tree in the front yard of his family home being uprooted in a powerful storm. The roots of the tree are exposed, and in the dream he notices that detail in particular. The imagery symbolizes the uprooting of his family, who have all gone their separate ways. The family has lost the cohesion it once had. See also: Family, Family homes, Trees
