Nutcracker – The symbolism of the nutcracker has several different meanings, depending on your culture. The story of the Nutcracker is told in Russian and tells the tale of a young girl who is given a magical nutcracker for Christmas by her wizard godfather. This nutcracker takes her to a magical kingdom where he is the long-lost prince. As such, a nutcracker in your dream often represents magical, childhood delight, especially at Christmas or the winter holidays. This is especially true if the nutcracker has the traditional design of the decorated person in a soldier outfit, with the jaw designed to put a nut in it and the handle on the back to crack it.
