I really must come to a clearer understanding of what an isolated house in the woods symbolizes to me, seeing as so many of my dreams lately have featured one. Let's see...if I came across one in reality, how would it make me feel, or what would it make me think of? Bad things can happen to you when you're alone in the woods, all isolated and such. On the other hand, there's no one to bother you, and you don't need to please nobody for nothin', so you can really let yourself go, and come to understand yourself, really delve deep into your emotions, without fear that your anger or tweakiness is gonna freak other people out.

My father was always really fond of going up to woods, and would often isolate himself at one of his parent's cabins. I don't see why I would see this as negative though: this was actually when my father was nicest and most human, and I have a number of pleasant memories associated with being with him up there. I think my fear has more to do with isolation, and with having nothing to distract me from seeing what's really going on inside of me. Yes, I see, the house in the woods represents my fear of coming face-to-face with all the creepy, fucked-up shit that goes on inside of me, which I spend the majority of my time running away from in one way or another.

Oh, I'm being so negative today. I'm actually quite pleased with my life....overall.
