Sowing in a spiritual sense suggests creating the correct environment in which growth can take place. It is, above all, the creative act. The image of laying down a framework for success is implicit in sowing. The actions that have to be gone through such as preparing the ground, tilling the soil and so on are all evocative images even in today's technological society. When this image appears in dreams, we need to look at circumstances around us and decide what we can gain most. Sowing is a symbol that has certain basic ideas attached to it. It can represent the planting of an idea, the beginning of a new project or the careful planning of a multi-faceted task. Originally, sowing seed was taken to be a feminine occupation. With mechanization that emphasis has shifted. However, in women's dreams, the primary image of nurturing may be that of sowing seed. In a man's dream it is more likely to signify the sexual act, and well as suggesting good husbandry. The entry for Harvest will help to clarify your dream.
