Dream Journal: Hand Plant Dream

Last night, a portion of my dreams relayed as it happened:
I notice greens sprouts growing upwards from the palms of my hands. I am confused as to why this is happening. The rate is fast and they have become vines two feet long and are actively moving around. I sense myself trying to grasp the reality of what is happening and I try, but can't distinguish any kind of a background or scene as if I am standing in darkness or void. I start to recognize something is too different to be reality and begin making a cognitive effort to conceptualize what is happening and I then I wake, still feeling slightly confused with a short lapse of gaining full awareness.

I would like to make a meaning out of this, but I can't until I dream further. I need to see what happens next.  I normally have small number of reoccurring dreams rather than numerous sporadic ones.  My most common dream was of being able to fly, which are no longer.  I was able to fly, induce flying and become conscious to my direction and posture with some lucid control.  But this is no longer as well.

If flying is not going to occur anymore, then I would like to pursue the plant dream.  I love plants, trees, flowers and grass, and I only now acknowledge these elements are affixed to the ground, while flying is exactly the opposite.

I believe that flying and plant dreams are an extension of myself, and when I try to enact control over either one... they act out against me or the opposite of what expect tend to happen
