Dream - TreeFriend

So, I have a rather tall friend who is going through some difficult stuff right now. I dreamed of him last night:

He was walking along in front of me. We were in a happy mood, moving rapidly along a somewhat sterile corridor, like something in an office building. We were laughing together and he seemed to be very pleased with life, shaking his head animatedly as he spoke and strode along before me. He raised his hands, as if emphasizing a particular point in his speech. But, when he reached out with his long fingers, the corridor ended and he pushed aside what became heavy curtains to expose an outdoor wooded area. We continued, and were soon out on the grass, under tall trees and a sunny, blue sky. My friend walked along waving his arms and hands in the fresh air as the trees swayed in the wind above us. He was emulating the movement of the trees with his long arms and body. He turned back to me, smiling, and then turned away again. I stopped and he continued along to a small grove of trees a little distance away. His form began to take on the same look as the bark of the trees he was approaching. With arms still raised, his body swaying to the same wind as the trees, his clothing became bark and his feet sprung out with short, thick roots. I looked up and his hands reached with leafy branches to the sky and blended in with the trees around him.

Overall, the feeling was peaceful and energetic. Though, I had the feeling my friend was benefiting from this connection with earth.
