Wilderness dream meaning is explained below using 9 different sources. Each interpretation is shown with its source.

Interpretation 1 — Eric Ackroyd

(1) A wilderness may symbolize your shadow - that is, the parts of you that consciousness has not yet reached (for shadow).

(2) Going into the wildemess / outback / bush may signify leaving your present state of mind or lifestyle behind and entering a kind of limbo where everything is possible and choices have to be made.

If so, your unconscious is beckoning you to a new stage of personal development. (Compare the temptation, i.e. testing, of Jesus and other spiritual masters; and initiation ceremonies where initiates spend time in the wild.) See also Introduction, page 43.

Interpretation 3 — Klaus Vollmar

The wilderness in dreams refers to the place where wild emotions and uncontrolled urges and drives reign, and suggests coming to terms with them.

The wilderness, in addition to the so-called jungle characteristics, may also indicate a desert, meaning unproductive or unused talents within the Self.
