Dogwood trees dying and coming back to life

I dreamed my dogwood trees were dying, brown. Then I found a small green dogwood with leaves. Then the dying brown dogwoods were coming to life, with new leaves and new growth.

The image of both dying and living dogwood trees is a two-fold symbol. On one hand, dying trees represent sadness, hardship and loss. But from this tragedy could come great happiness and success, as illustrated by the smaller living tree and the revival of the dying dogwood. Perhaps this dream is a message to look forward to better days even in the worst situations.
