Traditional reading

Straight-growing bamboo signifies an upright character and rapid growth. Like bamboo shoots springing up after rain, it was read as things growing fast, and wind blowing through a bamboo grove meant good word spreading far.

Through the heart

It holds a wish to live honestly and a hope to grow quickly. You want the strength to bend flexibly without breaking.

Lucky or unlucky?

Lucky dream Read as a dream announcing good things

Traditional readings lean toward this being a lucky dream, a sign of something coming in: good news, money or a welcome connection. If the mood of the dream was heavy or frightening, though, pay attention to that feeling first. Treat a lucky dream less as "fortune will arrive on its own" and more as "things go well if you move".
