Four ways to read it
Each reading below comes from a named tradition and a cited source, so you can see where it came from and decide what fits your dream.
Freud
Freud would note how a plain flower can carry tender or hidden wishes under a look of innocence. The childhood game of pulling petals to test love may surface a question the waking mind holds quietly. What the daisy recalled for you can point to the feeling beneath.
After Freud, The Interpretation of Dreams (Brill trans., 1913), public domain.Jung
Jung might see the daisy as a small, open image of the self, its ring of petals a humble mandala. It can speak of an uncomplicated wholeness, beauty that asks nothing to be admired. Its link to childhood may mark a return to something fresh in the psyche.
Jungian concept (our summary).Modern
Under continuity, daisies tend to follow waking thoughts about simplicity, youth, or a light and hopeful mood. They may surface around fond memories or a wish for things to be uncomplicated. Notice what plain pleasure or question the flower seemed attached to.
Continuity hypothesis (our summary).Mythological
Folklore made the daisy an emblem of innocence and of faithful, modest love. It featured in old games of the heart and in tales where it stood for a maiden's purity. So the daisy carries gentleness, hope, and a touch of childhood simplicity.
