Iris Dream Meaning

Dream interpretation from 10 unique sources about Iris

In Greek mythology, the gods let down a bridge or rainbow between earth and heaven so that the goddess Iris of the rainbow could act as a go-between to ease discord between men and gods. Dreams of irises may therefore be referring to your role as a peacemaker or the need for you to make peace with someone. In addition, the iris is often depicted as a fleur-de-lis, a symbol of France that shares the symbolism of the lily, indicating purity, peace and resurrection. The tall stem and swordlike leaves of the iris add male sexuality to the female bloom; as a result, the Iris is often associated with the animus or masculine aspect of femininity. The common yellow iris is often called the flag iris.

If you dream of a yellow iris, it may mean that you want to call attention to, or flag, something about which you are concerned. On the other hand, does your dream iris refer to the iris in your eye? Are you seeing clearly what is going on around you? [1]

An iris is a spring flower that symbolizes several very positive and uplifting conditions. In Japan, it is believed that the iris has the power to purify the body and protect the household from disease and evil. Iris is also a God in Greek mythology. She is a messenger that represents the link between heaven and earth and between gods and men. This is a very interesting and specific dream symbol. In order to figure out what it means to you personally, consider your current needs. Do you have a need for purification and safety or are you looking for inspiration? [2]
Whether indoors or out, these beautiful blooms seen in a dream predict contentment and prosperity.
