Black A box in dreams

Something contained — a feeling, a piece of news, a piece of history you have boxed up.

How black changes the reading

Black colour pulls the symbol toward the not-yet-known — depth, hiddenness, the part of the situation that has not yet come into the light. The dream is rarely warning you; it is showing you that there is more to the picture than the part you have been looking at.

The base reading of A box

A box in a dream is the dictionary's image of something you have contained. The dream often appears when there is a feeling, a piece of news, or a piece of your history you have boxed up and not opened in a while.

Opening the box in the dream is the dream's image of choosing to engage. Sometimes the box is empty — the dream noting that what you contained has dissipated and the container is the only thing left.

Where you often see it. A small box with a lid you cannot open. A box returned to you that you do not remember sending. The dream uses the box for something contained — a feeling, a piece of news, a piece of history you have boxed up.

What it is not. A box is not always something to be opened immediately. The dictionary reads it as the held form.

Related in the dictionary. Read box with closing, opening, attic, basement, and any scene where containment is the issue.
