Walking through a forest naked and holding a candle?

Question

Please help me with what this means...in my dream I was walking through a forest and it had just rained. I could smell the wet dirt and as i looked down to my feet, I saw that I was naked and was holding a lit white candle. The path that I was walking on was little and my feet were a lil bit dirty from walking in the mud on the path. That is all I remember from my dream, just walking through the forest and looking up at the trees. Can any one help me with this?

Answer 1

It reminded me of a passage from the Bible; it says, Your word is a

lamp to my feet, and a light to my path.  I think it's in psalm 119

(which is a really long psalm)

Being naked, could mean vulnerable, exposed.

I think it's God letting you know that as long as you have his light,

you will be able to see where you're going; and you won't be lost.

God bless.

That could be a initiation to a Coven of  Witches! If so and you have that dream again  see if the trees are trying to speak to you!  On the other hand it could be a message that you aren't paying enough attention to your true spirit.. the message is to shed your facades and live closer to your spirit!  It doesn't mean to really go nude in the woods! Rather  it means be yourself..  Wear what you like not what others say is best!  Show your feelings  your true self! Don't act in a manner because you think  someone wants you to act in a certain manner.     Understand?  Just be true to yourself and your feelings!

Answer 3

It sounds very Freudian. There's plenty of phallic symbols, the candle, the trees, etc. That coupled with the fact you were naked would suggest you want s*x and you're looking for it.

To dream that you are in or walking through the forest, signifies a transitional phase. You may be following your instincts.

To see a burning candle in your dream, signifies that good luck and hope will be coming your way in small and steady amounts. You are in a comfortable stage in your life and may be seeking spiritual enlightenment. Lit candles are also symbolic of intellect, enlightenment, awareness or the search for truth.

To see your own feet in your dream, symbolizes your foundation, stability and sense of understanding. It signifies your need to be more practical and sensible. Keep both feet on the ground. Alternatively, it represents mobility, independence and freedom. Perhaps you have taken a step in the right direction and are contemplating your goals or your next step.  The sole of the foot may be a pun of being or feeling like the only support of some person/situation.

To see lush green trees in your dream, symbolizes new hopes, growth and desires. It also implies strength and stability. You are concentrating on your own self-development and individuation.

To dream that you suddenly discover your nudity and are trying to cover up, signifies your vulnerability to a situation.

So you are going about your normal routine - going to work, waiting for the bus, or just walking down the street when you suddenly realize that you are stark naked. Dreaming that you are completely or partially naked is very common.�Nudity symbolizes a variety of things depending on your real life situation.

Becoming mortified at the realization that you are walking around naked in public, is often a reflection of your vulnerability or shamefulness. You may be hiding something and are afraid that others can nevertheless see right through you. Metaphorically clothes are a means of concealment. With clothes, you can hide your identity or be someone else. But without them, everything is hanging out for all to see. You are left without any defenses.�The dream may telling you that you are trying to be something that you really are not. �Or that you are fearful of being ridiculed and disgraced. If you are in a new relationship, you may have some fears or apprehension in revealing your true feelings.

Nudity also symbolizes being caught off guard. Finding yourself naked at work or in a classroom, suggests that you are unprepared for a project at work or school. You may be uninformed in making a well-formed decision. With all eyes on you, you have this fear of having some deed brought to public attention. You fear that people will see through your true self and you will be exposed as a fraud or a phony.

Many times, when you realize that you are naked in your dream, no one else seems to notice. Everyone else in the dream is going about their business without giving a second look at your nakedness. This implies that your fears are unfounded; no one will notice except you. You may be magnifying the situation and making an issue of nothing. On the other hand, such dreams may mean your desire (or failure) to get noticed.

For a small percentage of you, dreaming that you are proud of your nakedness and show no embarrassment or shame, then it symbolizes your unrestricted freedom. You have nothing to hide and are proud of who you are. The dream is about a new sense of honesty, openness, and a carefree nature.

Answer 5

It could be a quest dream. One in which you are seeking your authentic self and to gain experience of  the nitty gritty truths to live by not the blah, blah head trip ones.  Is your subconscious asking for some retreat time?
