First off, I'm new to Mysticboard, so I want to say hello and express my gratitude for those who do the good works here in the community, thank you.

I have tried to interperet this dream myself by looking up separate aspects of the dream and putting them together, but I think there are just too many unique experiences in the dream to do that so I have come here for some help...

The dream I had woke me up similarly to jumping at the scary part of a horror flick, then, as I recollected the dream and dwelled on the details it was more frightening, saddening, disturbing than originally in the dream itself, possibly because in the dream it happened so quickly.

Anyway, on to the dream...

From what it appeared to be I was in some sort of camp site surrounded by forest, the camp was clearly divided on two sides and on both sides lie the makings of fire pits for constructing bon fires.

It occured to me in the dream that i had chosen the left side and began collecting wood for a bon fire whilst the other side did the same (i have no recollection of actual people building on the other side and there were one or two other people on my side, but i do remember that I recognized no one in the dream cross referencing into reality.  

I believe what happened next was that I saw another person or people lighting wood to start the fire in the pit, I then grabbed a pretty big solid log which was smooth to touch and had no bark, I was now under a large tree, pine tree, with the top of the log i had lit but there was actually no flame, it just seemed like it was smoldering.  There were now 3 houses, if i remember right, one on the far side of the scene, one behind me, and now one near the tree i was under.  

I was trying to ignite the actual bon fire pit but instead I kept absent mindedly almost lighting the tree that was above me on fire, I remember I had to stop myself once or twice.  Someone behind me had mentioned something to me about it and I turned to reply to him and said something about being a jerk and almost lighting the tree on fire or something.  

I heard some commotion and I turned back towards the tree and now the view switched to where I was actually looking downward toward the ground and I could see the tree and the house I was next to clearly and it seemed like the tree was screaming and trying to rub the fire off of it by flailing itself against the house which was being torn apart by its effort to rid the fire.  

The view then switched again, there were many more people now, and I was back at the base of the house, but amidst the screaming of the tree I heard a noise like a fast growing tree with the roots and bark stretching and growing, when I looked up I had saw the tree grew very tall and intimidating like a skyscraper and it was now engulfed in flame and the face of the tree took the visage of a woman and now the screaming was that of pure agony and terror and the tree began thrashing wildly and agressivlely at the ground.

In the dream it felt as though the tree was not trying to put out the fire but instead trying to kill people on the ground, the tree turned toward me and swatted the ground right in front of me and I turned and dove into the house behind me and thats when I was rattled enough to wake up, I couldnt go back to sleep again for a little while and I knew this dream had to have some meaning, it was just one of those dreams that felt significant.

I hope someone can help me with this, not that I could possibly hope to prepare for anything, but it might help me gain a little control over the future.  Thanks again for any comments.

Fascinating dream there and welcome to the forum. I am new too so I see no reason in not having a go at your dream. Have you recently started a new chapter in your life involving your means of supporting yourself? this could be a new job or school or even leaving those things behind.

The overall impression I get from this dream is that it regards some decision or course of action you have made in regards to your means of supporting yourself (career day job etc.). I get this from the houses and the fact you are trying to light a fire which, with it's warmth and light, is a source of security. In the dream you specifically mention you choose the camp on the left so your current plans are based on a decision that seemed the most logical of the choices available. Now for whatever reason this isn't working out for you and you are making sacrifices to your own emotional well being. I'm assuming your male so the tree/woman is a reflection of your emotional state. You might be holding on to a lot of anger right now, maybe even a grudge and without a proper outlet it's becoming chaotic. You might be blaming yourself for things not working out right now. If this sounds right I would try to take a step back and really come to grips with any doubts you have about what you are doing with your life right now. It might be biting off more than you can chew.

Wow, Leof, you hit the nail right on the head, its amazing how you were able to see through that, it actually gave me chills.

I was looking at it as a warning or of some situation to come, but as you describe it with such accuracy, its actually a representation of my current state as a result of my decisions which led me to where I am.

Unfortunately for me, I am at an impass, I cannot foresee a resolution to my emotional problems at this time, I can only hope that by taking things one day at a time and trying to unload the stress day by day I can cope until I can find an answer.

 

My wife and I were having financial issues and I was also having some marital problems, we werent happy, so I used our financial situation as an excuse for my inability to cope, we decided it would be better for me to move abroad and support us both from an overseas job which paid a lot more, the toll our marital frustrations were taking on our mental and physical health was something we couldnt bear.  Of course after a year we decided it was time to get a divorce, but the new chapter you mention is really just beginning, I am supporting myself as well as supporting her via alimony and also paying bills here as well as back home, and fixing a few things I need to fix, and the divorce paperwork is going through, its basically all just hitting me really hard.



Its not that the job is not working out, because it is, however, I am living in the desert and I cant stay here forever, but due to my decisions Ive made, the economy back home, and my finances, the cloud of having to stay out here for an unknown amount of time is lumeing over me.  And yes, I am making many sacrifices to my own emotional well being, but i still feel as if i am better of here than I was back home, obviously I cant go into my previous married life, but I hope you can understand that things could not have been any worse for a married couple, there was no love, and both of us were very depressed, it was a dark time for us both, something had to be done.





I am male,  yes, my emotional state is and has been quite a problem for me.  I hold a lot of anger and a grudge toward my soon to be ex-wife, I blame her for many things and I also blame myself, I have no outlet what so ever, I'm sure you can tell that by the way I am rambling on.  It seems that I have no other person to communicate with, my family understands, but family is family, they support and comfort you biasedly but its rare that they ever truly understand, every individual situation and the way you handle things emotionally is unique.

Anyway, I just wanted to let you know how accurate your reading was and how much I appreciate it, you really dont know how much good you can do someone with just a little bit of insight.  Thank you so much for listening, I hope I didnt bore you.

Fantastic! Not bored at all, I really enjoy hearing other people's dreams and getting a chance to interpret their meanings. Sounds like you are having a rough go at it indeed.  Feel free to post anymore dreams you have. One more word of advice, keep track of how devastated the house becomes in your dreams. This is like a progress report on how much you can take of something before it will break you down. Think of the tower tarot card. If you recall the tree destroying the house, you might want to look into getting a vacation or trying to look into any alternatives you have. If the house is left more and more intact then it shows you are coping better.

Crystals can help balance emotions. Visualizing a crystal can help to, or holding, wearing or having it nearby can also help. Don't hold onto feelings let them flow. Ground, visualize roots coming down your feet and into the ground. focus on breathing as it has very calming and relaxing, and focusing on it helps the body breath better.

If the tree was diving into a house then, maybe it needs to be more rooted. Then all those feelings would go into the ground instead into extreme behavior. Why would a tree that belongs in the ground dive into a house, and do it while in agony?
