This interpretation is from ""The Dream Interpretation Dictionary: Symbols, Signs, and Meanings" and is provided by J.M. DeBord aka "RadOwl".

Dream symbolism is based primarily on use and function, so a barn can symbolize something related to its use, storing things such as animals, food, supplies, and tools, while in dreams barns symbolize storing less-tangible things. For example, inheritances and home equity are forms of stored wealth. Hope is a form of stored energy. Pay attention to the condition of the barn. If it’s in good shape or full, it can symbolize feeling good about future prospects, or having plenty of personal resources. A run-down or empty barn can show lack of preparation—or future prospects. Another way of thinking about the symbolism of a barn is that it’s where something is out of the way, separate from the main part of your life or personality. For example, a secret passion or interest, or a second career or family. This use of the symbolism will often show as the barn near your home, a way of saying “closely related.” See: Garages Back in the days when family farms were common, barns were places where young people would go to be out of sight of parents and authority figures. They could goof off, smoke cigarettes, make out. Those associations are less common these days but can still be used to create symbolism for doing something you want to keep hidden. A barn can symbolize a situation that lacks structure or authority, or is out of control, because when the farmer isn’t around, the animals run the barn. It can symbolize a dirty mouth or dirty mind. See: Toilets If it’s a spooky place in a dream, it can be a way of saying, “Don’t go there.” You avoid something. See: Hiding What are your impressions and personal experiences with barns? Those associations can be the basis of your dream symbolism. See also: Animals, Buildings, Closets, Fires, Garages, Hiding, Home, Toilets
