An interpretation of wilderness dreams

An interpretation of wilderness 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. A wilderness in a dream can symbolize being in an unfamiliar place or situation in your life. It can mean you’re unsure about what to do and which direction to go. You feel lost or are searching for something. You are experiencing hardship. A wilderness or jungle is a place where it’s easy to get lost. There are few roads or paths to follow. As symbolism, wilderness can express the feeling that you don’t know where you are going in your life, or don’t know how to reach a goal. See: Lost Some people are at home in the wilderness. They want the freedom to do things their own way. In this sense, a wilderness can symbolize getting back to nature, or experiencing new freedom. See: The earth A wilderness can symbolize your wild side or a wild situation. It can mean “uncontrollable.” The jungle is commonly perceived as a place that is wild and uncivilized. You can dream about a jungle setting when in a situation where the normal rules of society don’t apply. The “law of the jungle” means that the strongest survive, and it can be used as symbolism for situations where you are in a sort of “winner-take-all” competition and the participants use any tactic to get ahead. For example, a jungle could be used as a setting in a dream about the brutal competition to get ahead at work, or to make a business deal or win someone’s affection or attention.
