Wood Dream Meaning

Dreaming of wood usually reflects an urge to build a solid foundation in your life, along with a pull toward nature. Trees are cut into timber so it can be put to many uses, and in the same way this dream often says you want to turn the raw experiences of your life into something that lasts. The meaning changes a good deal with the state of the wood and what is being done with it.

• Building something with sturdy wood

  Some plan in your life is moving forward on a firm foundation.

• Worm-eaten or rotten wood

  This brings to mind a foundation or relationship that has weakened from within, even if you cannot tell from the outside.

• Chopping wood

  This speaks of hard work, of trying to solve a complicated problem in your life step by step.

• Lighting a wood fire

  This speaks of the warmth of the whole family sitting together by a fire, and also hints at putting something old to use in a new form.

• A wooden house or wooden furniture

  This usually speaks of feeling safe and of a pull toward your roots, especially if the wood seems old and familiar.

Cut wood never goes back to being a tree, but it can still become many things in a new form. Many decisions in life are like that: you cannot take them back, yet you can still build something new from them.
