Jar – A jar is a symbol of confinement, specifically with regards to emotions. If you have been bottling up your emotions for the sake of politeness or harmony in a relationship, this dream symbol is a reminder that this is not healthy. If a jar breaks in your dream, this is a warning that a crisis is imminent if you do not find a way to express your feelings positively to the people in your life whom they relate to. The damage the broken jar of emotions will do to your relationship if you continue bottling up your feelings is far greater than the damage that would be done by simply opening the lid.
