Old forest
A forest of old, large trees — a slow-grown place that has been undisturbed long enough to become its own world.
An old forest in a dream is the dream's image of a slow-grown place that has been undisturbed long enough to become its own world. The trees are large; the canopy is closed; the ground holds its own rules. The dream brings the old forest when something in your life — a long tradition, a deep field of knowledge, a long-undisturbed personal interior — is being entered. An old forest walked through with attention is the dream affirming the depth. An old forest cleared for short-term timber is the dream noting that what took centuries to grow is being spent for a single season's gain, and what is being lost cannot be replanted at the speed it is being cut.
