What does it mean to dream about pansy?
A pansy often pictures fond thoughts and gentle remembrance, a small face-like flower long tied to thinking of someone and to modest affection.
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 look at what the pansy brought to mind for you, perhaps a person you think of or a memory it holds. Its old link to thoughts can dress a wish to be remembered, or to remember. A trampled or wilting one might hint at a fondness the day let slip.

Jung might see the pansy as a small, candid bloom of feeling, its markings like a turned-up face. It can stand among the simple flower-forms the psyche uses for tenderness and recollection. To find one may mirror a gentle thought rising in you.
Jungian concept (our summary).Modern
Under continuity, a pansy often echoes waking thoughts about a person remembered or a soft, fond mood. A cheerful pot of them may track contentment, while a fading one can mirror a wistful feeling. Consider who has been on your mind lately.
Continuity hypothesis (our summary).Mythological
By old tradition the pansy is the flower of thoughts, its name drawn from a word for thinking. It long carried the sense of remembering an absent friend or love. So the pansy has stood for fond, gentle remembrance.
