ESSAY : What is the symbolic meaning of emptiness in dreams?

If something is empty in a dream it may mean that there is an emptiness in your life. E.g.

"I was recently made redundant as a police officer. I really want to find another job in the police department. I loved the job and still think like a policewoman" [Dream symbol - gun is empty]

"I have finally broken up with my boyfriend. I realise now that its for the best as it was not really working out. I am overcome with emotions but its come at a time when I have my exams. I have to forget everything and just get on with things. In some ways the exams are good because they have allowed me to focus my mind on something else"[Dream symbol - going through empty devastated streets]

"My grandfather has just died."[Dream symbol - empty space]

"The dream captured my feelings after the break up. The phone didn't ring for me. I had no one to text. A girl who I work with asked me to a party and I enjoyed it"[Dream symbol - empty warehouse]

Emptiness may show that you have a lack of desire and motivation for something in your life. E.g.

"I am applying for this job that I am not sure that I want. They chose me though I don't like working with small children. I'm confused because this job pays BIG and would launch me on a stable career. But there are many reasons not to do this job" [Dream symbol - I was in an empty theater inside this building ]

"I have not been enjoying work recently. I do enjoy it as a rule because it helps me burn my energies up. But I am not getting along with the other staff. I do not have anything in common with any of them."
[Dream symbol - large tree with empty branches]

Emptiness may simply show that you generally have a lack of motivation. E.g.

"I have just graduated. I am stuck at home though and lack any purpose or motivation."[Dream symbol - empty apartment]

"I have been getting depressed recently. I have so little to occupy my time."[Dream symbol - dreary empty place]

"I have trying to address my own laziness. I have been trying to get up earlier. But yesterday I just slept in. I know I have got to get out of these bad habits if I am to progress in life"[Dream symbol - empty house]

Emptiness may show that there is room for some feeling to develop in ways that you did not expect. E.g.

"I think this dream is a premonition of the next day. My sister in law asked me for some money to help sort out some troubles. This was getting out of hand and I really did not want to help. Before she asked for money I had been quite sympathetic"[Dream symbol - bedroom is large but empty ]

"The dream could be a premonition of something that took place the next day. The dreamers niece was hurt in an accident and went to hospital"[Dream symbol - Empty warehouse]

Empty spaces may show that you need to complete something. E.g.

"I am currently very involved in a project. I have achieved a lot but there are many areas which I need to cover more thoroughly"[Dream symbol - empty spaces]

Emptiness may show that you simply do not want to do something and would rather pull out. E.g.

"I am not so much angry with my boyfriend and his family but resisting the way his family is and am not willing to put up with the behavior. It is hard as I don't want to stop my boyfriend from being with his family but I dread being around them myself (so I make up excuses as to why I can't go). "[Dream symbol - empty house]

"I am not looking forward to the visit. She is really very rude and emotionally cold"[Dream symbol - empty parking lot ]

If something is empty it may link to a feeling that is not real - simply an empty gesture. E.g.

"I feel that my brother wants to interfere in my own affairs. I can sense he is not happy about my decision. He has been nice to me but he is just trying to influence me" [Dream symbol - feeling warm but empty inside]

There maybe other miscellaneous meanings. E.g.

"I really have to be careful at all times with my job. Fairground rides are dangerous. I should not be put under pressure by queues"[Dream symbol - walking through empty queue]

"I had a real fever in the night "[Dream symbol - "empty a glass of water over face" ]
