An interpretation of tree dreams

An interpretation of tree dreams

This interpretation is from ""The Dream Interpretation Dictionary: Symbols, Signs, and Meanings" and is provided by J.M. DeBord aka "RadOwl". He is the author of several acclaimed books about dreaming, the host of The Dreams That Shape Us podcast, and is a moderator of r/Dreams, one of the largest dream sharing communities on the internet. Trees are used in analogies to compare with the organizational structure of business, family, and military, so that’s the place to begin interpreting the symbolism. A tree in a dream can symbolize a family tree. It’s a terrific analogy because trees have roots, trunks, and branches. See: Family The analogy works also for the body: Roots represented as feet and toes. The trunk represented as legs and torso. Arms represented as branches. Skin symbolized as bark. The image of a healthy tree can symbolize a healthy body, and problems with parts of a tree can symbolize problems with the body. See: Body parts A tooth has enamel, comparable to the bark of a tree, and it has roots, so a rotted tree could symbolize a rotted tooth. See: Teeth Because a tree is associated with family lineage, it can symbolize ancestry and lineage. See: Ancestors Roots of a tree can symbolize your personal roots, not just family but your background and upbringing, the roots of who and what you are as a person. See: Roots A leaf falling from a tree can symbolize a child leaving home—leaving the “family tree.” Leaves falling can symbolize a period of personal decline, the autumn of life. Leaves can be a wordplay for “leave,” meaning depart or exit. Trees provide shelter, and this idea can be used to symbolize something that shelters you. Think figuratively, such as about the shelter a strong friendship can provide, or beliefs or doctrines that shelter you from the outside world. But also think literally. Most houses are made primarily of wood, so a tree can symbolize your home—your “tree house.” A fallen tree can represent losing your home, or some major issue with it. See: Buildings, Home A tree’s collapse can symbolize the collapse of a big hope, or the fall of a prominent family member. For example, soon after the death of her grandfather a young woman dreams about a tree falling over in her family’s front yard. Planting a tree can symbolize starting a family or something else that you hope will grow. This use of the symbolism is especially likely if you plant a tree in your front yard, symbolizing your public life, and if family members are present. A tree blocking your way can symbolize something blocking you from getting what you want or where you want to be, especially wanting to be close personally or geographically with family members. Trees are associated with nature, opening more possibilities for symbolism. For example, relaxing under a tree in a dream captures the image of peace and contentment. Being among trees can symbolize harmony and relaxation. It can show your connection with nature through your body and your being. See: Gardens Trees have long been associated with spirituality, and the “One Tree” or “Sacred Tree” is a mythological image that represents the Self as defined by Carl Jung, the innermost “you.” It appears in dreams as you take steps toward finding out what you’re really made of inside and developing your full potential. A sacred tree can symbolize “the Self” archetype, described in the entry for Psyche. See: Circles, Psyches In a general sense, a tree can be a symbol of spirituality because its roots go into the Earth, and from that soil springs all life. It is the ultimate connection with Mother Nature. Keep in mind that the symbolism is largely determined by your feelings and the context of a dream. See: The earth People going through personal changes are known to dream about a strong connection with trees in general, or with a particular tree. The symbolism is derived from the ways that deciduous trees change with the seasons, shedding their leaves in autumn and growing them again in spring. A tree losing its leaves can symbolize a person entering the twilight of life. A barren tree can symbolize the ravages of old age or bad health. Or it can symbolize the idea of a tree that doesn’t bear fruit, meaning a lack of personal or spiritual growth, or being unable to conceive children. A tree sprouting new leaves can symbolize the feeling of being physically or mentally renewed. Branches of a tree in a dream can symbolize the branches of a family. A branch can symbolize a child or dependent. Branches can refer to less formal relations, too. For example, organizational structures such as religions and businesses have branches. Bank locations are referred to as branches. A broken branch can symbolize something you can no longer support. For instance, you can no longer support someone financially or emotionally, or support a cause or political organization. A broken branch can symbolize the loss of a family member or someone close to you, or breaking a limb (arm or leg). It can symbolize stress that threatens to cause a mental break. Branches are associated with growth and can connect with thoughts about which direction to grow in, which areas of life to devote your time and energy to. People are said to “branch out” in new directions. A dead branch can indicate that something has run its course, or that a direction you are headed in will not lead to growth. Another possibility to consider is that you are feeling weak; your health is frail. A dead branch can symbolize the loss of a family member or someone close to you.
