Depth Psychology: Green, healthy branches symbolize your positive character traits or life experiences; dry branches are a sign of lost hopes, ideals, past experiences, and negative character traits that you have worked through. [3]
2. Petty arguments; a little bad luck (to cut down branches).
3. Difficulty in communication, often related to business affairs (broken branches).
4. Strength, power and protection, often representing an important person in the dreamer’s life (oak or similar strong wood). [4]
Dreaming of branches in bloom foretells the arrival of a positive period; if they are green, it is a warning not to be hasty with your decisions; if they are dry, it indicates a loss of physical energy, and if they are cut, it signals that you have forgotten one of your principal objectives. (See also: TREE) [5]
Does the tree have leaves or are they already on the ground? If it is a broken or sawn-off branch, you have too much on your plate. [6]
If they are dried, sorrowful news of the absent. [7]
