DREAM DICTIONARY : This dream dictionary is based upon hundreds of real dreams and has been meticulously researched. However, the only person who can truly identify the cause of a dream is the dreamer. Use the questions and quotes on this page to help you find out what has triggered your dream.

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.

QUESTIONS to help you make associations(pick the one that makes most sense to you)
- Did you think about something deeply rooted or very important in your life yesterday?
- Have you recently left a job or relationship?
- Have you thought about your family much recently?
- Have you started to realise that some feelings are very strongly held with someone?

KEY WORDS : Permanent, important, deep feelings, attachment

KEY PHRASES(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"
- "it really was very important to me"
- "Those feelings stayed with me"
- "her feelings run deep"

Below you will see a series of quotes. Each quote represents the meaning of a particular dream(these are all dreams where the meaning is understood totally). For instance one dream may have meant that the dreamer was having trouble at work. In that case the quote may simply be "There is a bad atmosphere at work". Some information is included about which dream symbols were included in the dream(within the squares brackets). Often a sample dream is included which shows you how the dream interpretation was reached.

DREAM ANALYSIS : What is the symbolic meaning of groups of trees in dreams?

Fallen trees and hollow trees may show that some major part of our lives has been taken away such as relationship or job . E.g.

"I have just broken with my boyfriend because of an unplanned pregnancy. It has torn me apart and I am looking for support from my family but none has been given as they blame me for breaking apart a good relationship"[Dream symbol - chopping giant tree down connected to two other trees][the dream which this quote is based on is featured in full at the end of this article]

"I thought that I may reestablish contact with my family but it was not to be"[Dream Dictionary - tree stumps]

"That job was a big part of me. Now I seemed to have moved on completely"[Dream symbol - hollow tree stump]

"I am moving to be closer to my daughter but just recently I have realised how deeply rooted and important my life is in Dallas"[Dream Dictionary - single tree blocks the road]

"I realise that I have got to make up with my friends. "[Dream dictionary - Huge tree trunks moving]

"I really wanted this job. I couldn't stop thinking about it but tried"[Dream symbol - fallen tree]

"I am not enjoying work right now. I did used to feel it was important but now I hate my boss and cannot seem to connect with any of my work mates"[Dream symbol - big ugly hollow tree]

"I saw my ex he just totally blanked me"[Dream Dictionary - tall trees]

"I think my marriage will continue on even though we have separated. It is a love that will last for ever"[Dream Dictionary - evergreen trees]

Trees can also refer to beliefs, thoughts and proposals which are very important to you at the moment . E.g.

"I have recently had some bad exam results. Thats knocked back my hopes"[Dream symbol - tree collapses]

"They all just knocked down my proposal. I thought I had some well thought out ideas"[Dream Dictionary - knocked down tree]

"I tried to tell her how much I fancied her but she just thought it was funny"[Dream Dictionary - bird on tree]

"It was a wonderful dream and those emotions stayed with me all day. I feel a deep sense of spiritual renewal."[Dream Dictionary - Countryside trees]

The tree maybe a symbol for something physical such as your arm or a tooth . E.g.

"I woke up and I had immense pain in my arm" [Dream Dictionary - bees sting tree branch]

"I woke up and had terrible toothache"[Dream Dictionary - tree stump comes out]

Trees can also link to personality traits which run deeply within us . Such meanings maybe difficult to work out. E.g.

"I keep trying to tell him that he does this all the time. He splits up with her and then gets back together but complains constantly."[Dream symbol - Garden trees in nighttime]

"I have been trying to control my urges. Its part of my meditation"[Dream symbol - stag in tree]

Trees may be associated with long terms relationships and people whom we trust around us . E.g.

"I felt there was someone stealing my ideas. It was a colleague"[Dream symbol - trees in black rain]

"I think I should have been there for the fire works party then the accident may not have happened"[Dream Dictionary - pathway between trees]

"These trainees are only here for a short while but they can make my life misery"[Dream Dictionary - path between palm trees]

Trees may symbolise things that run deeply in our beliefs or important ideas within other people. E.g.

"I was trying to tell her the problem . but eventually she made a complaint"[Dream symbol - snake in mango tree]

SAMPLE DREAM
------------------------------------
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.

DREAM ANALYSIS 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 seperate 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"
