Casket

Interpretation

A casket in your dream—whether ornate or plain—draws attention to endings and safekeeping. Opening one reveals stored memories or truths ready to be acknowledged. Losing a casket suggests anxiety about misplacing something precious. A full, heavy casket may represent grief that needs gentle release.

The dream encourages respectful rituals: honor what must be laid to rest and differentiate between secrecy and privacy.
