Depth Psychology: Wood is a symbol of the habits, opinions, and ideas that you have been raised with; they are a part of your personality.
A dream about wood is a challenge: think critically about your traits (or they will become “petrified”). Begin now building a new life (like building new furniture from old wood). Is the wood in the dream still green or dried and knotty? Is the wood already decaying”? If it is—it is high time to start building something new!
[1]Symbol for mobility, warmth, and naturalness. Important is the condition and type of wood; for example, Firewood and Ebony.
In the I Ching, wood means gentleness, that which penetrates, like the wind, and it is related to the first daughter.
According to Freud, wood is a symbol for femininity. However, in the Tarot, wood corresponds to the wand which—according to traditional as well as modern interpretation—is connected to masculinity. This is an example of how contradictory meanings can be in the symbolism of depth psychology. At a certain level of consciousness, the difference between masculinity and femininity loses its importance. This higher level of consciousness is mirrored in everyday life where some symbols can be seen as typically feminine as well as masculine, in accordance with the present state of consciousness of the dreamer.
Folklore: Bad omen.

[3]Wood is one of the mainstays of our existence and is even considered an element in some of the elemental systems in various cultures. It was not that long ago in human history that everything of strength and fortitude was created out of wood. While today wood is no longer the strongest material we work with, it symbolically represents a desire to create something of substance that simultaneously connects us to the earth in a grounded fashion. Anything made out of wood in a dream is asking you to connect more to nature and your earthly origins.
[4]Wood symbolizes the raw material from which you can make new shapes without losing its resilience. Wood is therefore the formation of your personality throughout life. The meaning of the dream varies depending on the type of wood. Dry branches reflect a diluted personality and predict illnesses. Carrying branches on your shoulders is an omen of fruitless effort and suffering. On the contrary, to see the wood cut and ready to use (whether as firewood or for the construction of furniture or sculptures) indicates maturity and preparation.
[5]Dreams of wood signify your potential, raw talents and inner resources to create, build, and manifest your visions into reality. Wood can also represent the absence of emotion, that you are shock or trying to be invulnerable to pain or heartache. Consider the feeling tone of this dream to discern the meaning for you.
[6]Wooden things: the past, or structures of thought or behaviour we have built, which originally had life but are now habitual; being wooden’—lacking life or feeling. Wooden room, house: a part of our nature which has been carefully cultivated or created out of past experience.
