To dream of the woods is a representation of spring, rejuvenation, fertility, and life. Conversely, it may represent the unconscious and unknown. Consider opening your mind to allow you to discover your inner potential and most instinctual nature. To see yourself walking through the woods is a representation that you have returned to your spiritual and innocent self. To see yourself lost in the woods in a dream is an indication that you are about to begin a new phase or part of your walking life. You feel stress and anxiety about leaving all that is known and familiar to yourself. To dream of dead or dying wood may indicate that you have a waking life situation that needs resolution. It may further be an indication that you are feeling overwhelmed by an issue or problem.
