Refrigerator

The primary purpose of a refrigerator is to keep a small amount of space at a cold enough temperature so that anything organic that is placed in it will stay fresher longer. Cold is symbolic of less passion and anger, so one element of this object as a symbol relates to wanting to keep something around for more time by lightening up on how much intensity you allow it to express.

The preservation of things that you desire is what is being expressed by the refrigerator in your dream, so pay particular attention to both what is inside of it and the state that the machine itself is in. Both of these will add clues to your interpretation.

Dreams of a refrigerator symbolize plenty, abundance and preservation. Consider the contents of the refrigerator for a more precise understanding of this dream. This dream could be reflecting that you are maintaining friendships and alliances that are supportive to your growth and well-being. Or this dream may reflect that you have a chilly disposition, displaying cool and aloof feelings because you feel the real or perceived need to protect yourself. Perhaps this dream is giving you the message that a relationship is cooling off.
