An interpretation of locker dreams

An interpretation of locker 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. A dream theme that arises with surprising frequency is that you are unable to remember the combination to your school locker. This theme is especially puzzling for people who have been out of school for years. To understand the symbolism, begin with what it can mean to be back in school. It can mean that you’re challenged to learn something new, or feel unprepared for something in your present life—something for which school was supposed to prepare you, such as career, college, and adulthood. Now apply that idea to the symbolism of a locker. It’s where you store your books and school supplies. If you can’t find your locker in a dream, or can’t remember the combination, it can mean you are having difficulty getting access to what you need in your present stage of life to accomplish what you want, or to reach a goal. Accomplishments and goals often involve a combination of factors, such as perseverance, skill, opportunity, and luck. A locker can mean you’re looking for the right combination to make something happen in your life, symbolized as trying to remember the combination to your locker. Also, in your love life you look for a combination of background, traits, and qualities in a person to date or marry. Another way of looking at it: a locker is supposed to be your private place. If you can’t remember the locker combination, can’t find your locker, or someone breaks into your locker, it can mean you are having issues with privacy and setting boundaries. You can’t figure out how to keep someone out of your life, or to prevent people from prying into it. There are other types of lockers, such as at work or the gym, which can be used to create symbolism similar to a school locker. For example, dreaming that you can’t find your work locker can mean you forgot the reason you started working at a certain job or profession. If you’re retired, perhaps you’re trying to figure out how you’re going to occupy yourself now that you don’t have an occupation. Finding a rat in your locker can symbolize feeling betrayed. Dreaming about your workout clothes missing from your gym locker can mean that your identity as an athlete or jock no longer suits you, or you face obstacles to finding the time or motivation to work out.
