Jungle Dream Interpretation: Insights from 29 Unique Sources

Dreaming Lens: Were you in a jungle habitat in your dream? Were you alone? Were you in danger? Were you excited and intrigued, or were you frightened? Were you able to maneuver or were you held captive by the landscape?

Personal Focus: By definition, a jungle is any land that is densely vegetative and essentially impenetrable by standard means. Only found in tropical climates, these vast, moisture-laden habitats are isolated, mysterious, and for most Westerners, completely foreign to our civilized mentality. This can make for a romantic view of such a setting in a dream.

If the jungle atmosphere in your dream evoked a sense of wonder and enchantment, you may be tapping into some new and interesting territory in some area of your life. The flip side of this coin would be this image expressing a desire for experiences that are new and different. Your dream could be a request for life to bring you a taste of the exotic.

Of course, your interpretation should match up with the Dreaming Lens. Jungle terrain can be quite inhospitable—from deadly animals to insects carrying disease, your life could be in peril in such a place. If this is the case, you will want to find an association with your waking life where a sense of isolation or foreign sensibility may be causing you fear or stress.

Your dream may be representing the callous destruction of resources, both globally and in your personal life. Consider both when forming your interpretation.

It is the eruption of urges and feelings from the unconscious, perhaps from those areas which could be considered to be uncivilised.

We need to use logic to apply order so that we can make sense of ourselves and our environment.
