Getting lost in the forest is a dream that occurs when the mind attempts to process a lack of clarity regarding a current situation. The brain uses the density of such an environment to simulate the feeling of being unable to find a clear direction or a stable footing in waking life.
The mind uses this dream to work through a time when it cannot find its bearings among new or complex thoughts. Wandering without a destination shows the brain trying to make sense of things that do not yet fit together or have no clear shape. The disorientation can be unsettling as the mind lacks the landmarks necessary for certainty. The dream provides an opportunity to recognize that the current lack of clarity is a process of mental sorting.
Getting lost in the woods in a dream indicates a more immediate and active uncertainty. Because the woods imply a smaller and more intimate scale, this dream suggests that the difficulty in finding a path is related to a specific, manageable set of circumstances rather than an overwhelming or vast unknown.

Owen SterlingInterpreter interprets your dreams
Many people believe a frightening dream announces something, when more often the brain was simply sorting the days just before it. During the night the mind files what was carried over from recent hours, and what gets filed loudest is what was felt most. A rough night leaves a residue by morning that fades with daylight. Nothing was sent. The sleeper was working, and the work is done.
