◎ Lucky dream Traditionally a lucky sign
A collapsed support or an obstacle ahead. Getting over it means breaking through.

Psychology
A falling tree reads as a shaken support: a person, a system or a belief. Blocking your path, it is an obstacle you already sense.
Folklore and history
Foresters know that seedlings often grow on fallen trunks, so a dead tree becomes a nursery. Dream lore reads loss or obstruction, but also what grows after.
If our approach here — documenting haunted locations rather than encouraging visits — interests you, this Japanese-language guide rounds up rumors and records from across the country.

This site's view
In this site's view, did you see it fall or find it fallen? Watching it fall: change is still coming. Finding it down: the collapse has happened and only your response remains. Moss or shoots on it mean the loss is already feeding something new.
Going deeper: our reading
In forests, moss can grow on a decaying fallen tree, seeds land there and sprout, and young trees end up growing in a row along it. A fallen tree is not just an end; it becomes a nursery for the next generation. In this site's reading, how you dealt with the fallen tree is what divides the meanings. Climbing over it suggests you have the energy to meet obstacles head-on. Crawling underneath shows you will put substance before pride and lower yourself to keep going. This is our speculation, but finding a line of little sprouts on the trunk tells you that what you lost, or a support that collapsed, is quietly nurturing something new. If the tree had only just fallen and its raw split hurt to see, the loss may still be recent, and you may need time to grieve slowly.
What to do on waking
Write down one obstacle and ask whether to climb over, go around or clear it. There is more than one way.
