Tomb

(see Cemetery, Death)

An emblem of rebirth, especially if empty. Besides the Christian stories of Christ’s victor \ r over death, the ancient Celts buried people in tombs to await their next existence.

Is something inside the tomb? If so, consider what it represents of yourself that you may

have buried or recentlv uncovered.

Tombs can also represent the collective past of humankind and our link with archetypal ancestors. Have you honored this connection in some manner recendy? If not, this dream may be calling you to a figurative graveyard visit where you can explore your past as a member of humanity.

The portions of the self, the suhconscious , or the Collective Unconscious that have heen ignored so long as to be figuratively dead and buried.

An alternative womb emblem if rounded in shape.

Tomb

Something inside you has died and you should find out what it stands for and why it has appeared in the subconscious. Also, this dream invites you to reflect over a terminal state, about what it means for your mortality.

If it repeats a lot, it could be an indication of neurosis. Assuming that you see your own body in the tomb, it means that you are restructuring your life. Generally, the dream foretells a profound change in your existence.

Superstition says that you experienced a loss, but not necessarily death. Maybe you are dying spiritually and you will later be reborn. The celtic people considered cemeteries the uterus of Mother Earth, and that in them new spiritual life is born. Other interpretations claim that this dream foretells deception, and, curiously, news about a marriage.
