Grass
Grass often speaks to the quiet vitality beneath everyday life—how growth unfolds when conditions allow, and how quickly it can falter when they don't. Whether lush or withered in your dream, it may be asking: what ground are you standing on, and what does it still need from you?

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for grass, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
This is a very propitious dream indeed. It gives promise of a happy and well advanced life to the tradesman, rapid accumulation of wealth, fame to literary and artistic people, and a safe voyage through the turbulent sea of love is promised to all lovers.
To see a rugged mountain beyond the green expanse of grass, is momentous of remote trouble.
If in passing through green grass, you pass withered places, it denotes your sickness or embarrassments in business.
To be a perfect dream, the grass must be clear of obstruction or blemishes. If you dream of withered grass, the reverse is predicted.
Fontaine, 1862
Green grass, denotes long life; to cut grass, great trouble.
