Forest
Forests represent the unconscious mind, mystery, and the journey into unknown territory. A dark forest symbolizes fear of the unknown or unexplored aspects of the psyche. A beautiful, sunlit forest suggests peace with your inner world. Being lost in a forest reflects confusion and the search for direction. In fairy tales and mythology, the forest is where transformation happens — you enter one person and emerge changed.
Pregnancy
Pregnancy dreams represent something new developing in your life — a project, idea, relationship, or aspect of self that is gestating and growing. Both men and women have pregnancy dreams. The stage of pregnancy may indicate how far along this 'new thing' is in development. These dreams often appear when embarking on creative projects.
