In general: The elm is a symbol for cold and is associated with old age. (How healthy did the tree look in the dream?) you stand also for care, sense of responsibility and perseverance. Artemidoros: The elm and all her subspecies are only for men who move in the field, and for carpenters of use. For one because weapons are made out of her wood. For the others because they earn with it her maintenance as carpenters. They mean to all other people poverty and bitter need because they yield no fruit. Popular: (arab).: long life. (European ones).: is a very luck-promising omen, - the life will let to money run, - success. (ind).: you will lead a nice life. (See also tree)
