An interpretation of burying dreams
This interpretation is from ""The Dream Interpretation Dictionary: Symbols, Signs, and Meanings" and is provided by J.M. DeBord aka "RadOwl". He is the author of several acclaimed books about dreaming, the host of The Dreams That Shape Us podcast, and is a moderator of r/Dreams, one of the largest dream sharing communities on the internet. To bury something in a dream can mean you want it out of sight, out of mind. You can bury grudges, feelings, memories, the past, and so on. To bury means to conceal, and to conceal can mean to hide actions, involvement, true opinion or feelings. For example, someone blabbing on their phone says something bad about a friend then tries to pretend it wasn’t them after word gets around. They then dream about burying their phone to symbolize the desire to hide the truth. See: Hiding A young man has recurring dreams about burying pretty women in his closet. They’re like dolls, open-eyed and lifeless. He panics when he realizes the bodies can’t be hidden and he’ll be caught. Burying the bodies symbolizes hiding his masturbation habit, including the physical evidence. And they’re doll-like because they’re creations of his fantasies and serve no other purpose than to help him get off. Dreams can go many directions with the symbolism of burial. For example, burying a carton of cigarettes can symbolize desire to be free of a smoking habit, or efforts to conceal it. Burying someone you know can mean wanting to be free of the relationship or the person, or to hide something from them. To bury can mean “put behind you.” Time to move on. Disagreements, relationships and times of life are all things put behind you in the figurative sense and symbolized through the action of burying. A person can “bury” themselves beneath heavy layers of clothing to hide their body, then dream about it as burying a body. To see yourself dead and buried in a dream can be a good sign. Contrary to the common misconception that it’s a sign of imminent death, it can mean that something yourself or a time of life is coming to an end, and it might be what you need. To bury can mean to avoid, such as when avoiding something painful or unwanted, or avoiding the truth. It can mean “buried by work.” Too much to do. This meaning of the symbolism is more likely if a character is buried alive or drowns. Burying something in a cemetery can mean something is laid to rest, such as a disagreement. It can mean wanting to be free of whatever it symbolizes. For example, dreaming about burying parents can symbolize wanting to be free of their control or influence.
