Box

Boxes in our dreams like to appear empty, colored, wooden, falling and or given to us from the deceased for a reason. Inside becomes a compartment of lost memories, emotions, things that need to be filled, or aspects of the past that needs to let go. Depending on the type of box alters the meaning of your dream.

The box is something that you can store things in, and can be associated with the idea of 'baggage.' It can also symbolize the type of packaging that gifts come in. Opening a box can represent the unknown and can offer a message about opening up to either giving or receiving. The box can personify you in terms of being 'boxed in,' feeling enclosed or how you can turn within to discover the gifts that come through insight or inspiration. In some cases the box is also associated with the womb, female genitals or ideas associated with mother.
