Dreaming about a tree represents a symbol related to one’s personal life and individuality of the person experiencing this vision. The shape of the tree in a dream is a subjective representation and reflection of this person’s or someone else’s, who is very close to the person, life situation and personal existence with relation to other people’s lives.
A tree in a dream, depending on its kind and state can be a symbol carrying a lot of meanings, both positive and negative, which can be describing dreamer’s body conditions and state, indication about health and physical wellness, ability to grow both physically and intellectually, personal achievements and progress with work as well as connection to the genealogical tree and immediate family or predecessors.
A tree in a dream can also be a representation of how studying and acquiring knowledge is progressing and even how they might affect the life of a person who happened to dream about this symbolic image. It can equally be a simple way for subconscious mind to tell people about their life course and reflect their direct or indirect relationship with others around them (these meanings will largely depend on in what conditions a tree was growing and what kind of a tree shape it has been seen: large, small, a tree with stunted growth, a perfectly shaped or a dwarf tree, a dry or a dead tree).
Tree branches seen in a dream are a symbol of hidden abilities and secret desires or aspirations. Some sources describe dreaming about a tree trunk as an indication of problems related to the dreamer’s spinal cord and basic health conditions which need to be looked at more closely or with more attention. Upper branches and canopy of a tree in a dream point out our connection to the outer space , ability to express ourselves spiritually and find ways to be able to deal with everyday life while relying on a higher levels of cognition and striving for balanced and self-fulfilling future.
Tree roots in a dream are usually what they symbolize in a wake life, they represent basic needs for our existence, connection with ancestors and inner urge to care about humankind or certain people we communicate with on a everyday basis (family, close friends, co-workers or relatives). Tree roots can also be a sign or financial stability and independence, propensity to accumulate wealth and provide for our family.
Tree leaves with all their various shapes, colors and sizes and depending on what state they were seen while dreaming represent subconscious concerns and worries related to personal private life, something we have been going through recently and our current state of consciousness. It is important to note here that even small details in a dream related to tree foliage can affect interpretation of its meaning and help to uncover positive or negative message these dreams may contain.
The overarching meaning related to dreams about trees can be described as development and growth in time, either for an individual or for relationships and personal connections this individual creates in his or her personal life with other people. Some dream interpretation sources make reference to dreaming about a ‘universal’ tree, an entity which represents the universe we exist in and which carries a special meaning when our mind tries to grasp the fact they exist and learn more about cosmic forces or objects in space which perplex and astonish us by their magnitude.
Lastly, dreaming about trees under certain weather conditions or with seasonal patterns can also reveal a multitude of interpretations and symbolic meanings. Many dream interpretation sources describe dreaming about healthy trees with lush foliage as a sign of personal wellness and material wealth, while dreaming about dry trees stripped of foliage signify times of loneliness and hardship. Depending on a season (winter, summer, spring, autumn), dreams about trees are interpreted as symbols related to the beginning of a new relationship or exciting and fulfilling career or less promising or inspiring outcomes, such as periods of hard work and the need to choose priorities in life in order to succeed or being able to handle many things simultaneously.

Had a dream last night about a couple of trees. One was a healthy evergreen magnolia. I patted one of the leaves, as I identified it to my companion. The next was a maple, a large old tree with branches close to the ground. The branches were covered with lush moss like you see in temperate rainforest. The leaves were still in bud, but the flowers were beginning to emerge from the moss. I patted the moss; it was soft, even in my dream. And then we walked on.

Great article. Very insightful. Symbollically speaking, the tree might also be seen as a representation of the human body’s subtle energetic system. I’ve seen energy healer’s and groups that deal with holistic health often using the symbol of a tree, usually with a large rounded canopy and a similarly rounded root system below which mirrors the size of the canopy above. This could beinterpreted to represent a number of things, including the idea of an enclosed self-sustaining system ( a tree is an eco-system unto itslef ) , alchemical principals of “As above so below” and our relation ship with the “World Tree”, the subtle and non-subtle energetic fields

I had a dream the night before last & I can’t shake it. I was riding in a vehicle with a female. It was dark but you could see the road & vehicles off in the distance. A big wind came along and blew several very large trees onto the road. They had no leaves they were just huge trees. I told the person driving these cars are going to wreck pull off here. While i was telling her you could see the taillights of the cars swerving & wrecking into one another. I was very calm. We went to a large building & stayed. What does this mean?

Trees blowing in the breeze, long tall slinder and gracegul, I’m lying on my back , looking up at them, dozenus of them. I hear the sound of the breeze. I see a man I know, in the kitchen, putting food on his plate . I see an animal I can’t quite make out what it is following me. This is most of my dream. I would really like to know what it means.

Apologies for taking so long to moderate this. It was an oversight. Normally I don’t try to interpret people’s dreams unless I know them and their situation. But other are free to offer their opinions!

I dreamed of being asked to run a supermarket errand..something I do for my neighbor. I took a quick acrobatic route, dodging traffic and hurdling fences. Ive often had dreams about par cour type activities, usually in some form of being chased. Before I woke up, I climbed a tree and the upper branches began to break. As it fell, I jumped from it onto another branch, and it began to fall, but it was on a lower level and i landed on the ground safely. Someone saw this, and questioned me about it, and then the police arrived. As soon as the supermarket errand appeared to be replaced with this turn of events, I woke up. My first thought was, its a dream, I dont have to involve myself from extricating myself from this situation.

My brother dreamt, I was consumed by a tree. The tree is one situated on our family land, an old pohutukawa that is very significant to our family. The tree reached out grabbed me and sucked me down the centre of the trunk. He said he was screaming and crying in pain at the tree to give me back. He said next minute I was gone and the tree went back to normal.
