In the sense that a place suggests a ‘spot’, places appearing in dreams allow us to orientate ourselves in order to make the best use of information we are given.

Interpreting the symbolism of certain places gives us an insight into our own ‘inner landscape’.

A place that becomes fertile or lighter in the course of the dream indicates that an aspect that we have not previously appreciated – or have found unpleasant – is now developing possibilities and potentials, possibly for spiritual development. Dreary, unfriendly places, or tranquil favourable landscapes may well refer to our subjective view of the world.

To find such landscapes changing in the course of a dream suggests that our attitudes are changing.
