Lumber – Dreaming about lumber is a symbol of natural resources and the ability of the earth to provide for your needs. The exact meaning of this dream symbol depends on the events and actions surrounding the symbol, as well as your emotions in the dream. For instance, cutting trees down for lumber is likely to signify waste of resources and irresponsible stewardship of something that was not really ours to begin with. However, using lumber to build something useful, especially a shelter or a home, is a positive symbol of creativity, innovation, and healthy use of the earth’s resources to take care of your needs.
