What does it mean to dream about nature?

If you dream about nature, it’s usually a result of a renewed sense of freedom in your waking life.

Alternatively, perhaps you crave the feeling of freedom and seeing nature in your dreamscape is a reminder of your innermost desire to escape from something.

It’s possible you feel the need for more tranquillity or serenity in your life, if there is too much noise blocking your thoughts and denying you the space to think.

Another thought process is that you are in need of some restoration and renewal. You are burned out and need some time away from the daily grind.

On the other hand, you may have finally found the peace you have been looking for in your life and the picture of nature is symbolic of this.

If the trees, plants and flowers were blossoming, it could be indicative of new ideas, new opportunities and new beginnings. It might be wise to keep your ear to the ground or be more proactive right now if you are looking for change.

If you were eating things from nature like leaves or plants then you may need to give yourself the chance to heal if you have been physically or mentally hurt lately. Consider more natural methods to help you recover as these might be more effective than whatever you have already tried.

Nature is also thought to show how much you are in touch with your inner self. Is this something you need to work on or has a greater understanding of yourself brought about some home truths that are playing on your mind?

Perhaps you are surrendering to some natural instincts at present.

Nature is thought to represent potential, so perhaps you have potential and aren’t using it to the fullest. It might be time to see where this untapped part of yourself can take you.
