Depth Psychology: Wood is a symbol of the habits, opinions, and ideas that you have been raised with; they are a part of your personality.

A dream about wood is a challenge: think critically about your traits (or they will become “petrified”). Begin now building a new life (like building new furniture from old wood). Is the wood in the dream still green or dried and knotty? Is the wood already decaying”? If it is—it is high time to start building something new!

In the I Ching, wood means gentleness, that which penetrates, like the wind, and it is related to the first daughter.

According to Freud, wood is a symbol for femininity. However, in the Tarot, wood corresponds to the wand which—according to traditional as well as modern interpretation—is connected to masculinity. This is an example of how contradictory meanings can be in the symbolism of depth psychology. At a certain level of consciousness, the difference between masculinity and femininity loses its importance. This higher level of consciousness is mirrored in everyday life where some symbols can be seen as typically feminine as well as masculine, in accordance with the present state of consciousness of the dreamer.

Folklore: Bad omen.

1- Dreaming of wood, in the sense of timber, suggests our ability to appreciate the past and to build on what has gone before. We are capable of building a structure, which may or may not be permanent.

Dreaming of a wooden toy highlights our connection with the more natural side of ourselves.

2- When our behaviour becomes rigid or wooden, dreams will often attempt to make us aware of this and of the necessity to balance our feelings.

3- The wood is often a manifestation of the Spirit.

If it is a wild wood, the dreamer needs to show some control of his own spirit.

If it is a wild wood, it suggests the untamed spirit – as in nature – and we perhaps need to exercise some self-control. You might also like to consult the entries for forest and trees.
