To see a yew tree in your dream, symbolizes mourning and death. The dream may also be a metaphor to mean "you", the dreamer.
To dream of a yew tree, is a forerunner of illness and disappointment. If a young woman sits under one, she will have many fears to rend her over her fortune and the faithfulness of her lover. If she sees her lover standing by one, she may expect to hear of his illness, or misfortune. To admire one, she will estrange herself from her relatives by a mesalliance. To visit a yew tree and find it dead and stripped of its foliage, predicts a sad death in your family. Property will not console for this loss.
A dream of a yew tree foretells much illness for the dreamer. Dreaming of a dead yew tree is a bad omen that suggests a grievous loss in the family that nothing can compensate you for. If you dream of admiring one then you will have a falling out with your family.
