dream: I stood with the young Asian girl outside. She had long hair and was dressed nicely. She took two different plants–in her left hand, she held very long blades of leaves, like palms. In the other hand she held blue flowers. She told me to pick the long, green leaves and the blue flowers. I noticed that the flowers were intensely blue. She told me, “They mean ‘to have courage.’ Fan them at the house, like i’m doing.” And I followed her actions.
I woke up and decided to look up this blue flower that means courage. I found this:
“The plant’s Latin name, Borago, is thought to be a corruption of corago, meaning ‘I bring heart’, although it may also be derived from the Italian borra or French bourra meaning rough hair or wool, and perhaps referring to the short hairs covering the plant. A third derivation may be the Celtic barrach, meaning ‘man of courage’. John Evelyn, a seventeenth century diarist, wrote that borage ‘was of known virtue to revive the hypochondriac and cheer the hard student’. Gerard recommended its use ‘to exhilerate and make the mind glad ….. and drive away all sadnesse, dulnesse and melancholy’, and said that ‘a syrup made of the flowers of borage comforteth the heart, purgeth melancholy, and quieteth the phreneticke or lunaticke person’.”
Borago: Aids the adrenal glands, instills courage and the ability to cope.
Borage – courage – Latin name ‘Borago’ may be a corruption of ‘corago’, meaning ‘I bring heart’, whilst others believe the name derives from the French ‘bourra’ – meaning rough hair due to the short hairs covering the plant’s leaves.

Very interesting.
