Yes, plants and trees set up protective chemical defense. it is a proven scientific fact.

You should really write your story, Lux, I would love to hear it.
I think that trees are magical and are a powerful symbol: The tree of life...etc. the theme is also broached on in sciencew fiction.
They have personnalities and some species do not like humans and will cause branches to fall on them.
the Seth material says that they are multi-dimensional and the Agartha material that I am now reading refeers to the as feeling pain, when their branches are pruned, for example...
It also teaches how to communicte with the various devas of on 's vegetable garden.

I tries to warn the deva my decorative orange tree that I was going to prune it yesterday but it kept shreeking...No...No...maybe that is the fruit of my imagination or the fact, I later thought that it was trying to relive the dead branches. i should, of course have put that question to the deva....having an argument with the orange tree on my balcony.

Yes, tell your storyLux!

As poison ivy, being a compendium of nutty fact, I have the following funny story to report.
This woman was having a very vivied dream of rolling in the grass when she suddenly realised that it was poison ivy. She woke up with a start and simply went to work.
She quickly developped a full-bloom attack and had to go see a doctoe, in April in still snow-covered Canada.

I wonder what really happened.
