One time I had a dream that I took to a Lakota Medicine man to be interpreted. He told me to go to a tree for 7 days in a row and let the tree converse with me in order to avert what the dream indicated might happen. I chose a very large sycamore in a school yard close to my house. This same sycamore was also a good source for grounding during one harried mushroom journey.
Another time I was next to a banyan tree--they grow very, very large and have folds in their trunk large enough for people to stand in. While standing close to this banyan a branch crashed down close to me and the woman I was with; had the branch hit us it would have done significant damage. Later in that same weekend I became painfully aware of the need to cut off my relationship with this woman. The banyan was accurately reflecting the action I needed to take.
Yes, I am friends with the standing people and have a great deal of respect for their wisdom and power.
