Jar

Jars in dreams often represents the important things that we keep confined for security and shelter. In dreams it is common to notice a broken jar that represents a loss of clarity and focus that was once contained. Noticing a jar of honey is a very symbolic dream indicating good luck or beneficial resources that have been accumulating over time.

Dreaming of a jar can be a message about 'jarring' yourself out of old patterns in thinking. The jar often stores 'preserves' and can symbolize the valuable side of you that is not being expressed. If the jar breaks, you may have difficulty in acknowledging how success often requires periods of failing. The broken glass can symbolize the idea of releasing yourself from a way of thinking that is keeping you from being fulfilled.

In a dream, an earthenware jar represents a deceiving employee who is entrusted with the accounting department of one’s business. Drinking fresh water from an earthenware jar in a dream means earning lawful money and comfort in one’s life. Drinking half of the water contained in a jar in a dream means having consumed half one’s life span. Drinking from a tight mouthed earthenware container in a dream also means tempting a female worker. If one’s wife is pregnant and he sees himself carrying an earthenware jar that falls and breaks, it means that his wife may die from complications during her delivery or after giving birth to the newborn. In a dream, an earthenware jar also can be interpreted as a hard-working woman, or a servant, though a copper jar represents a noble woman. Ajar of wine in a dream represents woman’s menstrual period. If one drinks from ajar of wine, it means that he will have sexual intercourse with his wife during that period, which act is forbidden in Islam. If the jar is filled with eating oil, honey, or milk, it represents a hidden treasure. The same interpretation applies for a small clay jug, a mug, a cooking earthenware, or a tin pot.
