What Does Forest Mean in Dream Interpretation?
Dreaming of a forest means being inside something you cannot see the whole of. Confusion, or rich unknown ground.
The forest surrounds you and blocks the view. In dreams it marks a complex situation where you cannot see far enough ahead.
The light in it is the tiebreaker: a sunlit forest means rich possibility, a dark one means genuine disorientation.
