To dream about soil suggests a solid foundation upon which you can build other things.
Dreams on Female First
You have the basics to be able to progress and be productive. You have already done the groundwork in order to grow.
You might be at a stage in your life where your hard work is now paying off- you can finally flourish because you have worked hard to get to this level and sacrificed a lot to get here.
You might be feeling at a stable point in your life and believe that this stability will enable you to do more. There is less risk because the basics are in place for you to move up the ladder as it were.
Consider what condition the soil was in- if it was dry and hard, then you may be feeling limited in what you can do moving forward. Perhaps the groundwork has been down but not to your high standards- you have done the best you can with what you had at the time. Perhaps you feel you have to work harder than those around you- who seem to have an easier time of things.
If the soil was soft and damp, then you may feel lucky that everything is looking up for you right now. The conditions are right to mature and expand and you are grateful that everything has aligned at the same time.
If you were covered in soil- the dream might reflect some embarrassment you feel over an event in your waking hours. Perhaps you are ashamed of some recent behaviour and you are trying to make amends for it. This is even more likely if you were brushing the soil off yourself and your clothes.
Another interpretation is that you need to get dirty once in a while. Perhaps you are trying to tackle a problem without seeing the process from the ground up. Roll up your sleeves and get involved in every part and view it from a different perspective to fully appreciate the situation.
