just behind the forest curtain

A dream image: I was pointing to an eagle flying towards us, but it turned out to be a swan (they are just as big, of course), and then I saw that just behind a thin curtain of trees there were big Maya monsters looking at us, and behind the trees on the north side of the road there was a huge polar bear sporting a cap. My first main reflection based on all this was that huge objects in dreams tend to be 20-30 meters high, like a normal 9-storey apartment building or slightly higher than standard trees in a boreal forest that hasn't been allowed to reach old growth. If they were higher, it would be difficult to see them well when standing close...
