Dreaming of a Cupboard

cupboard, cabinet, closet, pantry · depending on its state

A cupboard in a dream foretells comfort or want, depending on whether it is clean and full or empty and dirty.

What happens in the dream

  • A clean cupboard full of shining dishes: pleasure and comfort
  • An empty, dirty cupboard: poverty and distress

How you felt

  • A need for security: the dream often reflects your reserves, material or emotional
  • Things tucked away: you may be keeping feelings shut away

Ask yourself

  • Are my reserves, material or inner, full or empty?
  • What am I keeping locked away?
