Did you just dream about soil and are wondering what it means? Mud and the earth have a lot of biblical connotations that bring richness of life, fertility, and fullness.
Dreaming of soil is often a positive foreshadowing of good things to come. This holds a lot of promise for you and your life, so keep a hopeful spirit as you go about your day-to-day activities, no matter how seemingly mundane.
What does a dream of soil represent?
Dreaming of soil also has some biblical meanings apart from the general ones. Here are some of them.
Symbolic of promise
The bible always talks about the promised land. Jesus mentions that our salvation will be in a place of lush greenery and overflowing abundance.
A dream of land and of soil is symbolic of this heaven – the promise of our salvation and how we will enjoy abundance in the afterlife.
A dream about soil also symbolizes promise in that, all that grows comes from the ground. Though the soil can be taken for granted, or is often seen as dirty and unbecoming, this is from where all of life springs.
This is what gives all of us life and sustenance. The promise of growth, fertility, abundance, and prosperity are all symbolisms of soil and the land that we dwell on.
Symbolic of humility
There are a lot of times that prophets walked the ground barefoot, or kissed it. Soil is symbolic of humility in the Bible.
The people who are not afraid to be considered humble and dirty are going to be blessed abundantly. Those who are willing to serve others through the humblest deeds and means are going to be rewarded riches in heaven.
Symbolic of service
Soil also represents service. There are a lot of parables in the bible where farmers had to tend to the land in order to make their masters happy – for the soil to bear fruit and bring abundance to their owners. This service is what the soil in your dream could also mean.
Symbolic of fertility
The soil is where all important resources grow from – trees to provide shade and shelter, fruits, tools, and sustenance; plants that bear fruit and beautify any home; grass and luscious greenery; animals that till the land and benefit from it as well as graze upon it.
These resources are all important for a full life and that is what soil symbolizes – the fertility to grow from and produce for the benefit of others.
Symbolic of financial prosperity
The soil is also considered a symbol of financial prosperity. There are many benefits to having fertile soil, and what grows from it feeds and sustains. This is why financial prosperity is in your midst if you dream of soil.
Symbolic of life
From soil grows living things that provide food, shelter, and protection to other living things.
Dreaming of soil could mean that you have a very life-giving relationship with everything and everyone around you. This is one of the best gifts that you can have and be proud of yourself for.
Symbolic of treasure
A lot of parables also narrate how there is hidden treasure in the soil. This is where you can bury or hide things successfully. But the treasure can also be the plants and the other living things that give it life.
Dreaming of soil could mean that you will uncover treasure very soon – or that you have it hidden within you, and you just haven’t given it enough attention.
Symbolic of movement or travel
Characters in the bible walk the earth in order to fulfill their pilgrimage, their mission, and get from one place to another.
Dreaming of soil can also be symbolic of a trip that you are about to take – and this doesn’t have to be a conventional trip. It could be a visit into your own self and cause a shift in perspective that will radically transform your whole life.
Symbolic of inner depth or rootedness
It takes a wise person to know that the lowliest endeavors are the most honorable ones. Those that understand that you do not have to be exalted by seemingly important people, but only have to possess an inner strength that is rooted in love for yourself, are the ones that make it unscathed in this sometimes challenging life.
A dream about soil could symbolize this inner depth, rootedness, and transcendence of worldly things. It means that a calming peace and lasting happiness are available to you right this moment, and it is all you will ever need.
Common situations in which you dream of soil

Regardless of which it is, it will definitely change your whole life for the better, and change your perspective – you will never look at things the same way again.
Dream of watering soil
This dream means that you are taking good care of the things that you have in your life. It also means that you are taking good care of your relationships.

Nature will take care of them – just trust that things are always going your way no matter how things may seem.
Dream of burying something in the soil
This dream means that you are finally letting go of something that you have held for so long. This may be a burden, a grudge, a relationship, or some other thing that has been weighing you down for a long time.
Dream of giving soil to someone
This dream may be weird. But it symbolizes a generosity towards another. Maybe you are giving something of value to you but you realize that another person will benefit from it greatly.

This dream could mean that you are feeling trapped in a current situation – that you find it hard to get out of something that you didn’t really choose to be in.
Try to assess what is making you feel this way and do your best to get out of it if it is really not making you happy.
Dream of dry soil
This dream may also reflect your lackluster feelings towards your career or a personal relationship. You feel that it is not going anywhere and you are hungry for a change.
Try to see if there is anything that you can do to make the situation more pleasant for you. If not, do not be afraid to leave the situation you are in.
Dream of getting dirty in the soil
This dream could be helping you go back to your childhood roots and help you see things in a simpler way.
This often makes things easier to get through and even gives you more freedom and happiness. Try it – it might make a bigger and more meaningful change in your life than you expect.
Conclusion
Dreams about soil could mean a lot of things, and they are often positive things, even if soil isn’t really pretty on the outset.
This is giving you another lesson about how things aren’t always the way they seem – and the richest and most fulfilling ones are those that aren’t all glitz and glamor, too.
