Bury

Interpretation

To bury something in a dream is to decide what remains visible. Burying a treasure may symbolize safeguarding dreams; burying feelings or memories highlights avoidance. If you witness a burial or feel buried yourself, examine where you yearn for release or recognition.

The dream invites compassionate honesty: some chapters need closure, while others deserve airing out so healing can begin.

Common Meanings

• Letting go: Releasing attachments that no longer serve
• Secrecy: Hiding truths out of fear or protection
• Rebirth: Remembering that seeds sprout after being covered

Cultural Context

Burial rituals honor transitions, acknowledging grief and continuity. Many traditions plant seeds or place meaningful objects with the departed, symbolizing ongoing connection. Your dream draws from this wisdom, reminding you that endings can nurture new beginnings.

Personal Reflection

• What—or who—was being buried, and why?
• Where might honesty bring relief?
• Which emotions are you ready to process instead of suppress?
• Who supports you in rituals of closure or remembrance?
• What new growth might emerge once the soil settles?
