If you were in a rural area in your dreamscape, it’s possible you need to get away from it all.
If you live in the city or are surrounded by a lots of people all the time in a house share or a large family- perhaps what you need more than anything is to get back to nature.

A rural area could represent simplicity. Perhaps you are over complicating things in your life right now and need to strip it all back, remove the complexities and stick with the basics.
Sometimes less is more and the dream might help you to realise that this isn’t just a saying, it’s the truth.
