Woods
[wʊdz]
Unserious Contents or Definition
To dream of woods, brings a natural change in your affairs. If the woods appear green, the change will be lucky. If stripped of verdure, it will prove calamitous. To see woods on fire, denotes that your plans will reach satisfactory maturity. Prosperity will beam with favor upon you. To dream that you deal in firewood, denotes that you will win fortune by determined struggle.
