What does dreaming about tree mean in the Bible?

A rooted life that bears fruit in season

In Scripture

The blessed life in Scripture looks like a tree planted by streams of water — rooted, unwithering, fruitful in season. A healthy tree in a dream can speak of stability and growth; a dry one, of a life needing to sink its roots back into God. The Bible's story ends with the tree of life, its leaves healing the nations.
