Depth Psychology: You are able to bend like a reed in a storm (you know how to adapt), which is a sign of wisdom, determination, and intellectual curiosity. You are humble and are bending your will to a higher power. Your down-to-earth faith is the source of your confidence and vitality! [1]
If you dream of this element, the oneiric images are reminding you that—even if you are not acting out of malice—you cannot trust yourself, since you are unable to keep your word. Although it can seem contradictory, the flexibility of the reed also represents the value of wisdom. [2]

If one sees strips of reed turn into strips of silver or gold in a dream, then they denote good and valued deeds. Reeds in a dream also signify prosperity and wealth which is made from lawful earnings, a pure and a chaste wife, or good children. However, reeds in a dream also represent hypocrites; and if one hears their sound in his dream, it means an argument, or a fight.
