Woods

Woods — wild, enclosing, transitional — often touch a natural change in your affairs, lucky if green but calamitous if stripped bare, with prosperity if they're on fire and fortune by struggle in firewood. The dream may ask where you've entered a wooded passage of change, and whether the forest is green or barren toward trouble.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for woods, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901

Ten Thousand Dreams Interpreted

To dream of woods, brings a natural change in your affairs. If the woods appear green, the change will be lucky. If stripped of verdure, it will prove calamitous.

To see woods on fire, denotes that your plans will reach satisfactory maturity. Prosperity will beam with favor upon you.

To dream that you deal in firewood, denotes that you will win fortune by determined struggle.
