Dreaming of caves or openings in the earth can be representative of the womb and feelings associated with the mother. For a woman, traveling into a cave can represent the exploration of her sexual urges. For a man, dreaming of the entrance to the womb can signify a movement toward sensitivity. Since ‘new life’ often comes through the opening of the womb, this type of dream can signify rebirth or transformation. See also Genitals .
