The full moon indicates that this painting is a dream. It depicts different stages and how we develop as happy and complete human beings. The tree is the core of our humanity, and we are tied to the earth by our roots or physical connection. The branches are the different choices and possibilities we face. The new developments in our lives are the blossoms, so it is fitting that the trunk symbolizes our deep-seated thoughts and emotions.
The houses in the branches are humans who have fulfilled their spiritual path and are reaching to the heavens. Notice the children full of life, joy, happiness and beauty as they walk under the blossoming tree and pick its enchanted flowers. Their activities are in contrast to the old man. He has become wise, as we all can, by unharnessing the past, changing his outlook, and heading for the future, pictured by the sparkling pond.
