A year represents a complete cycle of the Earth around the Sun. To experience a year in your dream indicates a completion. You have gone through one complete rotation, cycling through all the seasons and the all the changes that come with that rotation. Although it may appear that everything happens in the same way each year – winter melts into spring, spring brings new blossoms that turn into flowers in the summer, the summer heat changes into the autumn colors, autumn leaves fall and freeze into winter – it is actually a cycle. With each cycle you create something new and fresh that builds upon that which came before.
