A stick can be an instrument of punishment and a sign of power. Perhaps you are being punished for something you’ve done or something you didn’t do but people have wrongly accused you. Or maybe you are punishing someone else after they have wronged you in some way.

It's possible you crave more power over your own life, in your relationships or in a professional capacity. Or perhaps you have been given more power at work and are about to receive a promotion.

If you were hitting someone with a stick, then pay careful attention to the things you like the least about them. Is this a reflection of the things you don’t like about yourself?

If you were hitting an animal with a stick then you may have bad feelings towards the basic/animal instincts you are displaying at present.

The dream could also be a pun for needing to ‘stick up’ for yourself in a situation or perhaps you have found yourself in a ‘sticky’ spot.

Sticks are part of a tree or a greater whole so it’s possible you need to remember that you play a part in the greater good and your contribution is just as important as anyone else’s. It might also encourage you to work as a team rather than being single minded. You may need to work more closely with your work colleagues or with your partner in order to improve your productivity or situation. It might be time to admit that you can’t do everything on your own.

It might be time for you to let go of grudges you’ve held on for a long time so you can nurture your relationships rather than investing your energy in something that’s not worth your time. Weeding can represent feelings of fear that your enemies are bigger and stronger than you and will come along and upset your plans. If you saw weeds in your dream then you might be feeling overshadowed by someone in your waking hours. Is someone taking the limelight while you’re being neglected and cast to one side? Perhaps you feel like this in your personal or your professional life. Weeds can symbolise friendships or relationships that have gone wrong. Is it time to rekindle them if you miss the person who’s no longer in your life?...
