Zhouyi Dream Interpretation
Box
1. Female symbol.
2. Yourself, your inner self. An open box indicates an understanding of oneself. If the box contains something valuable, it may represent your true, fundamental, or deep self, as well as abundant energy, strength, wisdom, and love.
3. If the box frightens you, like Pandora's box filled with plagues, it symbolizes at least three possibilities:
(1) Repressed powers, instinctual impulses, and hidden emotions in your subconscious.
(2) If you are male, the box may represent negative aspects of females that tempt you towards destruction or symbolize a controlling mother hindering your independence. In this case, you should connect with your feminine side or reassess your feelings towards your mother.
(3) A source of disaster. Is there something worrying you in your inner self, family, or work environment?
