EMPTY

Example: ‘I was down in a low bit of a village, trying to get to a road high up on a hill where the sun was shining and was walking through dark, empty houses’ (Heather).

The use of empty in this dream can be understood by the compari­son existing between the ‘down low, empty houses’ feeling, and the ‘high up, sunny hill’ feeling.

Generally lack of pleasure, enthusiasm, good feelings; loneliness; lack of relationship; sense of isolation. Or lack of one’s potential, opportunity, space to be oneself. Empty house, buildings, shell : outgrown habits or ways of life; old attitudes; death; potential.

See also house.

1- I’o experience emptiness in a dream indicates there is a lack of pleasure and enthusiasm. We could be suffering from a sense of Isolation, or perhaps of not having anything to hold on to. We may have had expectations which cannot be realised.

2- We may need space to be ourselves in order to come to terms with what is occurring in our lives. ‘I’o be in an empty house or building denotes the fact that we have left behind old attitudes and habits.

3- Spiritually, any sort of experience which brings about an emptiness signifies the Void.

A void, an empty space, or nothingness can represent: Openness, freedom, potential, or endless possibility (as in an empty canvas or empty space).

Feeling emotionally empty, missing something or someone, or lacking something specific.

An unmet need or expectation (as in expecting something but getting nothing).

Meaningless or insincere (as in “empty praise”).
