Dreaming of green grass could symbolically indicate good health and success as well as a period of calm and tranquility.
Across many world cultures, green grass in dreams has been interpreted as a positive omen and most frequently one that brings prosperity and fertility.
Dream interpretation is subjective, unscientific, and highly personal. The below information is some possible symbolic interpretations people have had – but there’s no evidence that your dream determines your future and no one can say exactly what the dream means. The ultimate interpretation is up to you!
Common Interpretations of Green Grass in Dreams
For most people, the green grass in dreams is reflective of the state that they find themselves in.
In these dreams, the grass is manifested by the brain to be used as a symbol for a number of positive situations, depending on what you as an individual see in the plant.
1. Good Health
Perhaps the most common symbolism for a stretch of healthy, green grass is a healthy body and mind.
You may have recently recovered from an illness or your mental health may have cleared up, but in either case, you are feeling a subconscious relief at this return to a normal physical and mental state.

2. Contentment With Life
If you dream about expanses of green grass, especially if there is very little else cluttering the scene of your dream, this could be a representation of the peace and tranquility you feel in life.
This feeling of contentment could be a newfound state after many recent stresses, or it could just be your normal state of being reflected in your dreams.
3. Success and Growth
If the grass you are dreaming of is especially green and lush, this could represent recent or ongoing growth in your life.
The lush grass could either be a symbol of material growth in the form of newfound successes in work or business, or it could represent more personal growths you have been experiencing, such as in a relationship or in your own maturity.

Specific Dreams About Green Grass
If you are not just dreaming of fields of grass, the green grass in your dream might be symbolizing something a lot more specific. Let’s look at some examples.
1. Green Grass Worsening
If you dream of grass that appears to be in the process of becoming less green, this could be a sign that you feel you are regressing in some way.
Your health might be worsening, or you may have hit a rough patch in life that is negatively affecting your finances.
An alternative type of dream of worsening grass is where you dream of grass that is mostly green but has dry patches throughout it.
These dreams may signify that there are parts of your life that you feel are faltering and need more attention paid to them.
2. Tall Green Grass
Moderately tall green grass in dreams may be simply an exaggerated version of the normal grass.
This kind of tall grass symbolizes the same positive things – health, peace, success, and growth – but more so.
If the grass is especially tall, however, the interpretation can be a bit more negative. If this grass is too tall to see over or see through, this could symbolize expectations that are just too great to overcome.
Similarly, if the green grass is too tall to move through effectively, it could be a symbol of obstacles in your life that are slowing you down.

3. Green Grass in the Wrong Place
If you are dreaming of green grass somewhere where you would not usually find it, these dreams can be difficult to interpret reliably, but usually they are to do with change.
If the dreams you are having feature green grass in buildings you do not recognize or objects which have no significance to you, this could be a sign of a desire for change in your life in general.
If the grass is somewhere that you recognize, like your home, the need for change or the expectation of it may be linked to that specifically.
Green Grass as an Omen in Dreams
Many cultures view dreams as omens, and when green grass is featured in dreams, these omens are almost always positive ones. Some examples are below.
1. Fertility
Likely due to grass being a plant and plants’ typical association with growth, dreaming of green grass is said to be an omen of fertility by many.
This might mean that you will be blessed with a new member of the family soon.
If you are not expecting nor planning to have your own baby, however, that does not mean that the omen is not true.
It might be a reference to someone in your household or close family. This is especially valid if you see that person in your dream along with the green grass.
2. Prosperity
Another very widespread interpretation of what green grass in dreams is an omen of is prosperity and incoming financial success.
We already discussed how these dreams could be a manifestation of your current successes, but as an omen, it could be signifying successes not yet reached but just around the corner.
If you are working on building up a business or own one that has been struggling to grow, a dream of green grass may be telling you that it is about to take off and bring you lots of wealth.
Alternatively, it could be an omen of a more generalized type of prosperity, perhaps linked to how your employment or source of income ties into an upcoming market upturn.
Conclusion
Dreams of green grass could mean a whole many things, but they are usually seen as positive.
Remember that dreams about green grass have many different possible interpretations. And in fact, the above interpretations may not even be the right ones for you!
It’s really hard to actually tell what the dream means. And really, it may not mean anything – it could just be a random dream!
If you want to know more about your dreams, you could talk to a dream interpreter, spiritual advisor, or even a therapist.
