DREAM STUDIES : Real dreams about trees
---------------------
THE DREAM There was a giant tree in the backyard of my current home.
Upon finding this I felt as though I must cut the tree down. Upon further
inspection I found that there were two smaller trees, but would later find
I could not eliminate these trees either, because they were rooted back to
the original giant tree. In order to cut the tree down, I knew exactly what
tools I needed, and where they were, but upon going to retrieve them, I realized
I walked from my current back yard, through my childhood home, and into the
garage there. Everything was as it had been, when I lived there 6 years ago.
I had someone helping me try to cut down the trees, but after hours of work,
nothing had actually happened. In addition, it felt as if what I was doing
was actually dismembering the tree.
THE REALITY The dreamer was unhappy at the time of the dream. She had been
in a happy relationship but it broke down after an unplanned pregnancy. Her
family blame her for breaking up a perfectly good relationship that was "marriage
bound". The dreamer was looking for some support from her family but
they were not giving her this.
THE INTERPRETATION The dreamers mind was dominated at that time by just the
one issue so its fair to say that the dream would be likely to link to that.
If we cannot stop thinking of an issue which is alive in our minds then we
will dream about it.
Looking at the symbols its very clear that this dream is very much linked
to this issue. Trees link to permanent parts of our lives. They symbolise
relationships which run deep in our lives and are very important to us. Here
there are three trees. They are all linked together in some way. Well that
is an almost perfect metaphor for this situation. The three trees symbolise
the child which has been lost,the dreamers boyfriend and her family. These
are all important to her. The chopping down of the tree probably links to
the abortion. But the trees are connected together in this dream because it
captures the way that the dreamers family,her aborted child and her relationship
are linked together in one larger issue. Her family are unhappy with her because
the relationship has been broken up and a perfectly good relationship ended.
So they are unwilling to give her support because of this. These issues are
not separate and thats the heart of the problem.
Symbolic Meaning
DISMEMBERING : "bitter emotions and relationships torn apart"
TREE : "a permanent and important part of our lives"
THREE TREES : "the trees stand for her family, her relationship and her
aborted child"
DREAM MEANING The dream captures the following feeling within the dreamer
- "I feel unsupported by my family. I have broken up my relationship
which was marriage bound because of an unwanted pregnancy. I feel like everything
important in my life has been lost. Everything is so connected as well. Because
my family blame me for breaking up the relationship"
See how the dreams symbols link to a key feeling within the dreamer at that moment

THE DREAM I am with some reporter. I am at Cayton. I am talking about
something been in between hunmanby. Next I am at Cayton forest. This goes
down to the beach. All the trees have been cut down. Someone says all five
of them. They are just stumps.
THE REALITY The dreamer had for years split with an old group of friends.
They had been very much part of his life. He had recently met with one of
them by chance - that person lived in Hunmanby.
THE INTERPRETATION When exactly does a relationship end. Well this dream was
a realization that a group of people the dreamer once knew were now history.
He no longer knew them at all. He had talked briefly with one of them. However,
after a short period that chance that the old group could be reestablished
was gone. So this confirmed that this old group of friends had all gone their
separate ways.
The dream made associations with two things. Cayton was where they all used
to meet. Hunmanby signified the recent connection.
Trees in dreams signify things which have firm roots in your life - like family
and friends. If a forest is cut down it can signify an end to old relationships.
The reporter was symbolic of the recent news. The recent news was the recent
chance meeting. That chance meeting was connected with Hunmanby - the place
where that person happened to live now.
Symbolic Meanings
BEACH : "thinking about what your feelings really are in relation to the real
life facts"
FOREST : "important friendships that are deeply rooted - in this case old
friendships "
FOREST CUT DOWN : "realising that those old friendships will not be reestablished"
REPORTER : "keeping up with what's new in your life"
TREE : "things firmly rooted in you - family ideas and close friends"
DREAM MEANING The dream captures the following feeling within the dreamer
- "I bumped into an old friend recently. I kind of thought our old group
of friends would get back together again. But now some time has passed and
maybe thats not going to happen"
See how the dreams symbols link to the dreamers assessment about some recent events
-------------------------
THE DREAM - I am about 1 mile from my childhood home. I am in some
hollow tree and one of my bosses from work is there. She is saying BLESS.
Its the sort of thing she says. There was a teenager with her and she was
trying to help him. I was also there .
THE REALITY The dreamer had been off ill and the good times from the previous
week seemed an awful long way away. She realised she may have to give up her
job.
THE INTERPRETATION The dreamer worked in social work and she had previously
found this very rewarding. The teenager probably represented the young people
the dreamer would help during her work. The dreamers boss had said exactly
the same things in the dream as she had said the previous week. The dreamer
though began to think that this seemed like an awful long time ago. The moment
that represented seemed a whole eternity ago. The dreamers illness certainly
made her think differently. She was beginning to have doubts about the job
she was in. A tree represents the things growing and taking root in your life.
But this was a hollow tree - maybe showing that this previously rewarding
job had not taken hold quite as much as was hoped.
Symbolic Meanings
BOSS : "your thoughts about work"
REALISE : "to understand completely"
TREE : "something deeply rooted - the importance of work in the dreamers life"
DREAM MEANING The dream captures the following feeling within the dreamer
- "Last week seems so long away. My job was so much a part of my life.
Now one week later my life seems so different. I may have to give up my job
because of ill health"
See how the dreams symbols represent major change that has just taken place in the dreamers life
------------------------------
DREAM TIP : The link between dreams and the day before is really very
strong. That is no coincidence. During the day we store up thoughts in short
term memory banks. Then at night we start to transfer these into long term
memory banks and at the same time we start to integrate these into long term
emotions. Then finally we clear short term memory banks ready for the day
ahead. So dreams will tend to link to the day before and to ways in which
we have been altering our thoughts and feelings.
----------------------------
THE DREAM My dream involved having dinner with my daughter and her
husband (they live in the Houston area and I'm still in Dallas). As we are
walking to our next thing to do (I haven't a clue on what was supposed to
be next) I realized that I hadn't paid for the meal. I went back to pay and
it was a trip through a park where an oriental woman was selling food from
a cart. She was just about to close. I asked her if I had remembered to pay
or not and she said that I had not. So I began to pay and I pulled some cash
out of my pocket but could not find a one dollar bill among my other bills.
I think the bill was 6 dollars. I'm not the kind of guy that always needs
to give exact change so I don't know why this one dollar bill thing got started.
As I continued to dig around looking for a one that I knew I had, some sort
of stamps or coupons or something began to show up. I think I put my money
down and sorted through the stamps. I guess I found the one because I was
going to put my money back in my pocket but it was not there. But this stranger,
an African American Lady, handed my money to me. I was going to rejoin my
daughter and son-in-law and began to walk back. The trip out of the park turned
into a climb up a steep hill of black dirt and scattered grass patches. (Kind
of like the parks I used to play in as a kid). I finally made it up to the
road but was on the wrong side of the road. I crossed the street and continued
to try to meet up with my daughter and her husband. But then I encountered
a construction project which meant if I couldn't get through at this point
I'd have to retrace my steps and try to find another way back. The workers
said I could take my chances. To get to where I was going I had to get to
the second floor. I was on the ground and the ladder didn't work. So I tried
climbing and was almost to the second floor when I discovered that this was
not the restaurant where we started but some sort of doctor's office. As this
point my dream jumped to something else. It involved me being in my car with
my best buddy and driving to Houston. But he lives in Dallas and I knew that
I would have to drive him back as soon as we got there. As we neared the Houston
area we came over a ridge and then it looked like it had been raining extremely
hard for a very long time and a single tree was broken in the shape of an
"L" and was blocking the road. All the while I was anxious about my friend
in the car knowing I had to get him back to Dallas. And now it seemed impossible
to reach my daughter.
THE REALITY The dreamer was in the process of moving from his home in Dallas
to the Houston area so he could be near his daughter and her husband and his
grandchild. However, he did not realise that he had serious misgivings about
moving and had maybe not put as much effort into this as he should have.
THE INTERPRETATION Often its very difficult to make big decisions in our lives.
If we move home we often take a chance that we will meet new friends and settle
in. However we do not truly know how things will turn out. Its fair to assume
that this dream is about the move in some way as it involves the biggest decision
that he faces right now which will affect the rest of his life. Its not easy
to move away from a city which you consider home and where you have lived
for the vast majority of your life.
Restaurants often link to issues that are making us think. They link to things
that people say that stick in our minds. However this restaurant is actually
a doctors office. Doctors offices are symbols of a very deep and honest examination
of some issue. In this sense it symbolises the way that the dreamer is openly
and very honestly starting to question his move. Maybe he has jumped in and
made the decision without properly thinking.
The dream deals with the need to pay for this meal. Money in dreams often
links to effort(if we value something then we put in the effort). Here the
dreamer is using coupons so in many ways he is trying to avoid putting in
the real effort required. So maybe he needs to seriously think about the issues
involved.
The dream touches very clearly on the issues involved - if he is in Houston
moving towards his daughter he cannot get back to visit his friend. Its a
clear choice - the importance of family versus the importance of friends he
has in Dallas. Trees are symbols of how important and deeply rooted some friendship
is in your life. It refers here to the friendships that go back years.
Symbolic Meanings
BILL : "the price you have had to pay - in this case the dreamers move to
Houston will cost him all his friends in Dallas"
DEAD : "the end of a phase in your life - the move would signal the death
of his life in Dallas and the birth of his life in Houston"
DOCTOR : "ask yourself deep and probing questions"
OFFICE : "need to be organized - organizing some issue in your mind"
SECOND FLOOR : "coming to a clear conclusion on some issue"
TREE : "things firmly rooted in you - family ideas and close friends "
WORKER : "work on something emotionally in your mind - the dreamer needs to
work through his emotions on the move properly"
DREAM MEANING The dream captures the following feeling within the dreamer
- "I really have got to sit down and think about what is important to
me. I want to move to Houston to be with my daughter and grandchild. Yet I
know now that I really will miss all my friends here in Dallas."

DREAM STUDIES : TREES
TREES : Trees are not easy symbols to understand in practice. In some
ways its best to look through the various meanings in the essay. Yet trees
can be said to refer to deeply rooted ideas, relationships, places in your
life. If there have been changes to any of these recently or they are under
threat then the dream may refer to those. Trees can also symbolise ideas and
feelings which are very important within us right now. They are deeply rooted
in our lives.
KEY WORDS(Pick a quote which captures your feelings right now. Think especially
of the day before the dream) :
- "Its was a permanent part of my life"
- "I am deeply rooted here"
- "They are very important to me"
- "Those feelings stayed with me"
- "her feelings run deep"
- "it was difficult to end the relationship"
