Strictly, of all the numbers, twelve is the broadest in scope, for the
Tarot formulas are such that they contain two groups of eleven and four of
fourteen, but the components of these numbers have no archetypal significance.
Given that the two essential prototypes of quantity are the numbers three and
four (signifying respectively dynamism or inner spirituality, and stability or
outer activity), it can be argued that their sum and their multiplication give the
two numbers which are next in importance: seven and twelve. The latter corresponds to the geometrical dodecagon; but it may also be associated with the
circle, since their symbolic meaning is practically identical. For this reason, systems or patterns based upon the circle or the cycle tend to have twelve as the endlimit. Even when structures are made up of less than twelve elements at first, they
later tend towards the superior number of twelve, as, for example, in music,
where the seven-note modal scale has developed into the twelve-note system of
the Arnold Schoenberg school. Other examples are: the twelve hours on the clockface; the twelve months of the year; the twelve major gods of many mythologies,
as a kind of amplification of the seven planets; and the markings of the wind-rose
(corresponding to Eurus, Solanus, Notus, Auster, Africus, Euroauster, Zephyrus,
Stannus, Ireieus, Boreas, Aquilo, Volturnus). All these examples, then, prove the
existence of an order founded upon patterns of twelve, which can be split up
either into the ‘inner’ three-part division of the ‘outer’ or circumstantial pattern
of four, or else into the ‘outer’ four-part division of the ‘inner’ and actual pattern
of three. For the Vedic Indians, the twelve middle days of winter (from Christmas
to Epiphany) were an image and a replica of the entire year; and a similar tradition
exists in China (17). In our view, the symbolism of the Zodiac lies at the root of
all these systems based upon the number twelve, that is, the idea that the four
Elements may appear in three different ways (levels or grades), giving twelve
divisions. It is for these reasons that Saint-Yves draws the sociological conclusion
that, among groups of human beings in the line of symbolic tradition, ‘the circle
which comes highest and nearest to the mysterious centre, consists of twelve
divisions representing the supreme initiation (the faculties, the virtues and knowledge) and corresponding, among other things, to the Zodiac’. Guénon (who quotes
the above) adds that the twelve-formula is to be found in the ‘circular council’ of
the Dalai Lama, and (quite apart from the twelve apostles) in the legendary
knights of the Round Table and the historical Twelve Peers of France. Similarly,
the Etruscan state was subdivided into twelve minor states; and Romulus created
twelve lictors (28).

Within the general symbolism of landscape, forests occupy a notable
place, and are often found in myths, legends and folktales. Forest-symbolism is
complex, but it is connected at all levels with the symbolism of the female principle or of the Great Mother. The forest is the place where vegetable life thrives
and luxuriates, free from any control or cultivation. And since its foliage obscures
the light of the sun, it is therefore regarded as opposed to the sun’s power and as
a symbol of the earth. In Druid mythology, the forest was given to the sun in
marriage (49). Since the female principle is identified with the unconscious in
Man, it follows that the forest is also a symbol of the unconscious. It is for this
reason that Jung maintains that the sylvan terrors that figure so prominently in
children’s tales symbolize the perilous aspects of the unconscious, that is, its
tendency to devour or obscure the reason (31). Zimmer stresses that, in contrast
with the city, the house and cultivated land, which are all safe areas, the forest
harbours all kinds of dangers and demons, enemies and diseases (60). This is why forests were among the first places in nature to be dedicated to the cult of the
gods, and why propitiatory offerings were suspended from trees (the tree being,
in this case, the equivalent of a sacrificial stake) (8).

To dream that you are in or walking through the forest, signifies a transitional phase. Follow your instincts. Alternatively, it indicates that you want to escape to a simpler way of life. You are feeling weighed down by the demands of your life.

To dream that you are lost in a forest, indicates that you are searching through your unconscious for a better understanding of yourself.

To dream of a forest fire, indicates that transformation and regeneration is only possible through some hardships. Alternatively, it suggests that your anger is out of control; it is affecting those around you.

To dream that you find yourself in a dense forest, denotes loss in trade, unhappy home influences and quarrels among families. If you are cold and feel hungry, you will be forced to make a long journey to settle some unpleasant affair.

To see a forest of stately trees in foliage, denotes prosperity and pleasures. To literary people, this dream foretells fame and much appreciation from the public. A young lady relates the following dream and its fulfilment: ``I was in a strange forest of what appeared to be cocoanut trees, with red and yellow berries growing on them. The ground was covered with blasted leaves, and I could hear them crackle under my feet as I wandered about lost. The next afternoon I received a telegram announcing the death of a dear cousin.''

Dreaming that you are in or walking through the forest means a transitional phase. You may be following your instincts. Dreaming that you are lost in a forest means that you are searching through your unconscious for a better understanding of yourself.
