Vase

Interpretation

A vase in dreams symbolizes the vessel you offer for beauty, emotion, or spiritual gifts. Receiving one hints at unexpected joy or support. Filling it with flowers shows how you curate love and celebration. If the vase topples or breaks, grief or anger may be demanding honest expression; consider rituals of repair or letting go.

Empty vases are not failures—they invite you to envision what blooms you desire next.

Common Meanings

• Placing fresh flowers in a vase: Gratitude in action; honor those who bring color to your life
• Gifted a vase: Recognition of your capacity to host beauty and community
• Vase shattering: Emotional overflow; release tension safely and plan for healing

Cultural Context

Vases appear in sacred altars, ancestral offerings, and everyday homes. Kintsugi—Japanese art of repairing with gold—shows how broken vessels gain new value. Your dream may encourage similar practices, celebrating resilience rather than perfection.
