Forest
What it can mean
A forest often represents the unknown and the unconscious: a place where paths are hidden and intuition matters more than maps. Feeling lost in the woods can mirror uncertainty in waking life, while a peaceful forest may suggest healing and retreat. In fairy tales, the forest is where transformation begins.
