Rooms are associated with areas of our lives. For example, the kitchen is associated with seeking fulfillment and nourishment on a broader scale, while the bedroom can be associated with ingrained ideas (we sleep on) and sex. To dream of a cellar portrays how you are accessing the ‘inner room’ that lies below the surface. When you are making changes to your belief structures and ideas, the setting will often take you ‘underground’ as you explore ideas that have not been processed, integrated or released. Often you will sort through boxes or symbols associated with the past as you move toward forgiveness – or let old resentments go. All symbols associated with underground rooms should be explored carefully to understand how they are portraying the past or ideas that need to be re-examined. See Basement and Houses and Buildings .
