Your dream brought to mind the words of a poem I've always liked (can't remember the Author)...
I created the skies and the ground that i I existed in the eternity since
Reflections on your tree...
Yew, yes yew. Makes me think of a bonsai. These trees are as old as the hills but tiny and don't appear to have grown much. We seem to associate them with some great or special energy though. Many times my father, brother and I travelled by boat and scaled a small cliff to visit a tree like this growing horizontally from the rock. It must have been hundreds of years old and tenacious as heck, but still there (if you know what I mean).
Trees branch into the sky and the earth at once (especially the peepul tree in India). That is they are rooted in the earth and rooted in heaven at once. They continue to grow, without shifting positions or selecting a better one. They trust.
A tree can never be lost.
