Box

Boxes, Cardboard box, Wooden box

Boxes keep things together, out of sight and out of the way, and a dream box can reveal how you sort your life. Packing or labeling boxes can mean you're organizing your thoughts or trying to keep different areas apart. A closed box raises curiosity: what's inside might be a surprise, a memory or a matter you've put aside. Being stuck inside one suggests limits you'd like to push past. If a box kept getting heavier, you may be adding to a load without ever unpacking any of it.

Dream variations

• A box within a boxThe answer is tucked deeper than it first looked. Unwrap it patiently, layer by layer.
• A locked boxYou're not prepared to open something yet, or someone is keeping it from you. Both can wait until the key turns up.
• Labeling boxesYou're putting people and situations into categories. Check whether the labels still fit.
• A box you're told not to openCuriosity is tugging against a warning. Think about who made the rule and why.
