Complete Dictionary of Dreams

by Dr. Mıchael Lennox
A vacuum is the absence of everything we experience as air and atmosphere, so at the heart of this symbol is emptiness. Through this emptiness, the technology of a vacuum cleaner is helpful at removing unwanted dirt and debris. In this way, a vacuum cleaner symbolizes this desire. However, there is a more sinister meaning that could be present when this shows up in a dream in that a pervasive feeling of emptiness can suck the life force out of you if you are not mindful.

Dreams of a vacuum represent a feminine space for creation. Perhaps you are feeling empty, lonely, or a lack of energy, or you are processing your thoughts and feelings about death. You may be coming to the realization that on the other side of this void is freedom, unity, and a whole new beginning and a new dimension of your being.
